The ge is a traditional Chinese unit of volume equal to 1/10 sheng. Its Korean equivalent is the hob or hop and its Japanese equivalent is the gō.
The ge is a traditional Chinese unit of volume equal to 10 shao or 1⁄10 sheng. Its exact value has varied over time with the size of the sheng.
In 1915, the Beiyang Government set the ge as equivalent to 103.54688 milliliters (3.501 U.S. fl oz). The Nationalist Government's 1929 Weights and Measures Act, effective 1 January 1930, set it equal to the deciliter (3.381 fl oz or 0.182 dry pt). The People's Republic of China confirmed that value in 1959, although it made the official Chinese name of the deciliter the fēnshēng () and exempted TCM pharmacists from punishment for noncompliance with the new measure when traditional amounts were required for preparing medicine.
