How many grams of gold is one dollar in Taiwan?

If it is the mainland’s algorithm

One market, two = 50 grams

One market = 5 grams

If it is Taiwan’s algorithm, then It is as follows:

One tael = 37.5 grams

One coin = 3.75 grams

One catty is equal to sixteen taels. Since Qin Shihuang established unified weights and measures. There is a legend about the Qin Dynasty's hexadecimal system for kilograms: After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, it was Prime Minister Li Si who was responsible for formulating the standards of weights and measures. Li Si successfully formulated the standards for coins, length, etc., but he had no idea about the weight. He really couldn't figure out how many taels should be determined as a pound, so he asked Qin Shihuang for instructions. Qin Shihuang wrote a four-word instruction: "The world is fair", which can be regarded as giving a set standard, but there is no exact number. In order to avoid being blamed for problems in the future, Li Si decided to use the number of strokes of the four characters "the world is fair" as the standard, so he determined that one pound is equal to sixteen taels. (Sixteen Strokes of Fairness in the World)

Unexpectedly, this standard has been used for more than two thousand years. At that time, the sixteen-liang scale was called the Sixteen-Liang Venus Scale. It was composed of the Big Dipper, the Southern Dipper, and the three stars of Fortune, Luxu, and Shou. It warned people doing business to be honest and trustworthy, and not to deceive or conceal anything. Otherwise, they would be one or two short. If you are not blessed, you will lose two taels of salary and lose three taels of life.

Yang Hui of the Southern Song Dynasty had a song that said, "The price of a pound turns into two prices." This means that one tael is equal to 0.0625 kilograms, and two taels is equal to 0.125 kilograms... In the past long period of time, weights and measures have changed a lot. Check the "A Brief Table of Weights and Measures through the Ages" to see how many grams a kilogram is equal to in the past. From the Qin Dynasty to the Western Han Dynasty, 1 catty was equivalent to 258.24 grams, in the early Sui Dynasty it was 668.19 grams, and in the late Sui Dynasty it was 222.73 grams. A kilogram in the Song Dynasty, according to the Jiayou Bronze Code unearthed in Xiangtan, Hunan in 1975, weighed one hundred kilograms in self-reported terms, and actually weighed 64 kilograms, which is equivalent to 640 grams per kilogram. After the Ming Dynasty, a kilogram was basically 595g.

Currently, one pound in Taiwan is 600g and in mainland China, one pound is 500g. In mainland China, since 1959, one pound is equal to ten taels = 500g. (In this article, the traditional Chinese medicine measurement system remains unchanged)

One pound = 10 taels

One tael = 10 qian

One qian = 10 cents

One pound = 500g

One tael = 50g

One qian = 5g

One point = 0.5g In 1979, the unit of measurement for traditional Chinese medicine was also The American system was switched to using grams, milligrams, liters, and milliliters instead of the old system of "liang, qian, and cents."

How many grams is one dollar equivalent?

(Sixteen taels in the old system is one catty, and ten qian is one tael) 500g (1 catty) ÷ 16 taels ÷ 10 qian = 3.125g (1 qian). Currently, some traditional Chinese medicine hospital textbooks use 3.125 g is 1 money, but in fact, this conversion method is also flawed. The ancient measurement system has gone through many changes. After the Ming Dynasty, it was generally stable with small changes. One pound is basically around 595g. From 1929 to 1959, measurement reform was carried out, and the old system of 595g per pound was changed to 500g per pound. It also specifically pointed out that during the restructuring, "the measurement of traditional Chinese medicines will be treated as an exception" and the old system will remain unchanged. In this way, the correct formula for converting money into grams should be 595÷16÷10, and 1 money is approximately equal to 3.72 grams.

Taiwan still uses the market system of one pound and sixteen taels. 600g based on Western weights and measures.

One catty = sixteen taels

One tael = ten qian

One qian = ten cents

One catty = 600g

One tael = 37.5g

One qian = 3.75g

In the past, immigrants from Taiwan came from Fujian and Guangdong, and the weights and measures used were one pound and sixteen taels. The 600g combined with Western weights and measures has remained unchanged so far. Taiwanese traditional Chinese medicine doctors currently prescribe medicines based on the money system, with one qian equivalent to 3.75g. I am a self-taught Chinese medicine practitioner. When I was learning the dosage of prescriptions, I initially used the dosages of the Treatise on Typhoid Fever in the Han Dynasty, the dosages of the Four Great Masters of Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and the dosages of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which gave me endless headaches. Later, we found out that the market system when the immigrants came had not changed much during the Ming and Qing dynasties. From then on, we used the books of the Ming and Qing dynasties as a framework. The dosage in the book was based on this. Increase or decrease the prescribed dose. In the past, the dosages in the Han Dynasty and the Jin and Yuan Dynasties were different from each other. During the learning process of the doctors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, I think the predecessors would naturally convert the dosage into the weights and measures of their era. Taiwanese people have long been accustomed to taking traditional Chinese medicine. One dollar = 3.75g.
