Tribal tiger is a hieroglyphic, which originated from the ancient measuring ship Tribal Tiger. It is a container with a capacity of ten barrels. Later, the meaning of welcome gradually expanded, generally referring to all containers for measuring volume, such as welcome bucket and welcome millet. In ancient times, the tribal tiger was a folk unit of measurement, which was widely used in grain, weights and measures and other fields.

Hu is a special word in Chinese characters, and its pronunciation and meaning are unique. First of all, it is homophonic with the word "Hu", but its meaning is completely different. Secondly, the structure of the word "household" is relatively simple, consisting of the words "tun" and "city", but the meaning of this word is very rich.

Welcome to represent the measurement of grain:

In ancient times, grain was measured in barrels, and one barrel was equal to ten barrels. Therefore, the tribal tiger has become an auxiliary unit of grain measurement. For example, it is recorded in Hanshu Shihuozhi: "There are no two counties and countries in the world with the same size. ..... and everything is taken from the draft, there is military reform, and the tax is two. " Here, "household" is used as the unit of measurement, indicating the grain quantity in Taicang.

Welcome can also indicate capacity units:

In modern Chinese, "Tribal Tiger" is no longer a common word, but some of its vocabulary and usage are still used in some specific fields. For example, in the measurement of Chinese medicinal materials, Dendrobium is used as the unit of measurement, indicating a certain amount of medicinal materials. Before the Tang Dynasty, Hu was a common name for stone among the people. 1 Hu equals 1 stone, 1 stone = 10 bucket = 120 Jin. Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the Han Dynasty: "Tribal tigers, ten fights."
