Six of one and half a dozen of the other半斤八两
The idiom “banjin baliang”(半斤八两) means “six of one and half a dozen of the other”. Are banjin and baliang the same
Yes, they 1 the same meaning. “Banjin baliang” is usually used to show that two parties have the same 2 .
In the traditional Chinese weight measuring 3 , one jin (500 grams) was divided into 16 liang (one liang is 31.25 grams). So banjin was eight liang at the time.

When trading, if you were not 6 about how much something weighed, you would not receive the blessing(护佑) of those stars. If you gave one liang less, you would lose the blessing from the star of fortune; two liang less, you would lose prosperity; three liang less, and you would lose years from your 7 . It was hoped that with this rule, people would be more honest when they were doing their 8 .
However, as China started to do more international business, this type of measuring system was no longer convenient to use. 9 after the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, people 10 16 liang for one jin into 10 liang (one liang is 50 grams) for one jin. However, some people in Hong Kong and Taiwan still use the traditional system.
