In the Song dynasties, the irregular measuring units were seldom used in medicine and length units were no longer used in medicine. The volume units changed from "ancient ones" to "modern ones". There were necessary regulations on the conversion of measuring units of medicine in medical books officially published. Doctor Chenyan made detailed investigations to ancient measuring units.
