The catty, kati or jin (斤), is a traditional Chinese unit of mass. It’s equivalent to 500-600 grams more or less.

Translator's Note

From the Tao Te Ching, Chapter 12. Basically a warning against excess.

Here’s the quote with some interpretation notes.

Another quote From the Tao Te Ching, Chapter 5. Link.

I think it’s probably an argali?  Though it could also be a breed of Mountain goat? Like the ones that produce cashmere. DMJzOm

The character for this animal is 羊 which can mean goat or ship so I’m not sure.

Translator's Note

Apparently in Chinese mythology mermaids weave silk. It’s called 鲛绡 (jiāo xiāo)
