The "twelve scales" we use now only began to exist in the 1950s. Before this, sixteen two were used as a measuring scale for one pound, which is what we usually call "half a pound and eight two". At the beginning of liberation, China initially still used the sixteen-two system, but the settlement used decimal system, which brought a lot of trouble to the calculation of buying and selling. So, when did China switch to the use of "ten two scales"? And how did you think of using "twelve titles"? Who first used the "Twelve Scales"? When Shanshan Sanya recently came to Guangzhou to play in Conghua Shangluo Village, she accidentally found the answer.
Guangzhou Conghua Shangluo Village is located next to Shuangfeng Mountain, which is a good place surrounded by mountains and green mountains. Recently, Shanshan Sanya came to this beautiful countryside because she longed for the scenery of "persimmon" paradise. When entering Shangluo Village, strolling through the countryside, beside the houses, between the fields, by the ponds, by the mountains, by the streams... There are persimmon trees hanging everywhere with red persimmons, and the villagers are seen drying persimmons in the open space in front of their houses, and at this time, this beautiful village seems to be full of sweet taste.
When Shanshan Sanya wandered in the world of "persimmon" in Shangluo Village, she unconsciously came to an antique building in Shangluo Village, which turned out to be the Qiu Clan Ancestral Hall, which had been designated as a registered cultural relics protection unit in Conghua. When visiting the Qiu Clan Ancestral Hall in Shangluo Village, what attracted the attention of Shanshan Sanya most was the text hanging on a sign in front of the ancestral hall, expounding the pioneers who reformed the "Sixteen And Two Scales" into the "Twelve Scales", and the process of reform, all from a villager in Shangluo Village, "Qiu Chang".
It turned out that in 1958, Qiu Chang, a villager in Shangluo Village, was the director of the supply and marketing cooperative in Conghua Aotou Town at that time, because the cashier and accountant he saw often made mistakes, and understood that the reason was that the "sixteen" system was used when weighing, and the decimal system was used when settling, and the conversion process was complicated, and there was a situation of collecting more money and less money. At the beginning, when he put forward reform proposals, he encountered ashes many times, and finally found the relevant leaders of the General Office of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, obtained support, and approved the "trial production of two for trial use". In this way, Qiu Chang found someone to do two twelve scales in the Aotou Market Day trading time to try to use, when it was the use of twelve scales and sixteen two scales for comparison, the result is that there is no difference between the two, and the twelve scales are very convenient and fast, greatly improving the speed and accuracy of the operation, in 1959, the twelve scales were officially promoted to the whole country.
Qiu Chang has made significant contributions to the country, and has been rated as an advanced worker in the province, a model worker in the supply and marketing system of Guangdong Province, and also known as a measurement reformer of the Chinese nation. The people of Shangluo Village remembered Qiu Chang and his contributions to the country, and they recorded Qiu Chang's deeds in front of the ancestral hall in the village, which not only comforted the ancestors, but also inspired future generations.
When we buy and sell now, we often have to contact with the twelve scales, but before coming to Shangluo Village, we never thought about how the twelve scales started to use. And this trip to Shangluo Village not only gained beautiful rural scenery, but also learned about a history of "ten two titles", which made me have more respect for this village. The so-called masters in the folk, sometimes seem to be ordinary ordinary people, as long as the heart and concentration, the same can do a lot of "extraordinary", and the people to contribute to the country.
So, do you know the origin of the twelve scales? Have you ever thought that the twelve scales originally came from the beautiful countryside of Shangluo Village in Conghua, Guangzhou? If you came to Shangluo Village, would you delve into the history of the Twelve Scales? How do you feel about a villager's contribution to influencing the whole country?
