Was the price of a pound of silk equal to the price of a pound of gold in ancient china?

#1. Pound is not a Chinese unit of measurement.
#2. A unit of weight in silk can't possibly command the same unit of weight in gold. That doesn't even make sense.
#3. Chinese people are not stupid, they do not say idiotic things like that. I think you heard it from a carpet seller.
