Unit Definition (ch'ih [China]) The ch'ih is a unit of distance used in China during the colonial period. The ch'ih equals 10 t'sun, 35.814 centimeters, or 14.1 inches. There are 1800 ch'ih in a li.
Unit Definition (story) The story is an informal unit of distance equal to the average distance between floors of a building. In British English the spelling is "storey" and the plural is "storeys"; Americans write "story" and "stories." Typically a story equals 10 to 12 feet (3.0-3.6 meters). The origin of this use of the word "story" is not entirely clear, but in medieval times a tier of sculptures or stained glass windows on the front of a cathedral was called a stor(e)y because it usually told a story, and the number of stories was a measure of the size of the building.
