在解放路和人民路的交匯處，身后是一桿立于天地之間的秤和秤砣。你知道這是用來做什么的嗎？這是中國(guó)用來衡量重量的工具，有近千年的歷史，現(xiàn)在在一些地區(qū)的菜市場(chǎng)中仍然很常見。這里的秤桿和秤砣有著特殊的意義，商家在市場(chǎng)交易中只有公平誠(chéng)信才能生意興隆。
Now we are standing at the intersection of Jiefang Road and Renmin Road. What behind us is a huge scale and a weight. Do you know what they stand for?
This is a tool used to measure weight in China. It has a history of nearly a thousand years, and it is still very common in the wet markets in some regions. The scale beam and weight here have their special meaning. Only fair and honest business can prosper in market transactions.
