From Wikipedia

The sheng (Chinese: 升; pinyin: shēng), also known as the Chinese liter, is a traditional unit of volume originating in China. It was later adopted in Japan, where it is known as the sho, in Korea as the seung, and in Vietnam and other East Asian regions. One sheng is equal to 10 ge or 1⁄10 dou, although its exact capacity has varied across historical periods and regions. In modern usage, the value of one sheng differs by country: in China, it is defined as exactly 1 litre; in Japan, one sho equals approximately 1.8039 litres; and in Korea, one seung is 1.8 litres. Historically, the sheng was primarily used as a measure for cereal grains. In contemporary contexts, it is more commonly used, like the litre, to measure liquids or gases.
