This name, obsolete now, was used in Britain to avoid confusion with the British long ton. 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).
