1 tael equals 50 grams.

A mass unit is a standard used to measure the weight or mass of an object. Different countries or regions have different mass unit systems. In China, the most commonly used units of mass are grams and liang, and there is a certain conversion relationship between them. According to the "Modern Chinese Dictionary", in the "Table of Measurement Units", the conversion relationship between Jin, Liang and Qian is as follows: 1 Jin = 10 Liang = 500 grams; 1 Liang = 10 Qian = 50 grams; 1 Qian = 5 grams.

Therefore, we can conclude that in China, 1 tael is equal to 50 grams. This is the conversion method of the modern municipal system and is also the most commonly used method in our daily lives. For example, if we want to buy a pound of apples, it is equivalent to buying 10 taels or 500 grams of apples.

In addition, in Hong Kong, Macau and other places, the 1 tael used by jewelry stores is equal to 31.25 grams, which is different from the 1 tael equal to 50 grams currently used in China.
