Unit Definition (liang [China])
The liang is a traditional Chinese weight unit. During the European colonial period the liang was equal to 1/16 catty, 1/12 pound, or about 37.8 grams; this made it the same as a tael. In modern China, the liang equals 1/10 jin or 10 qian; this is exactly 50 grams (1.7637 ounces).

Unit Definition (myriagram)
The myriagram is a metric unit of mass equal to 10 000 grams or 10 kilograms (about 22.046 pounds). Although it is considered obsolete now, the myriagram was a useful unit comparable to the English quarter or Spanish arroba.
