About These Units
About Barleycorn
The Barleycorn is an old English unit of length. The custom of using seeds as units of length or weight is very common in farming societies. In Anglo-Saxon England, where barley was a basic crop, barleycorns played this traditional role. The weight of a barleycorn, later renamed the grain, is the original basis of all English weight systems including the older troy system and the later avoirdupois system. As a length unit, 3 barleycorns were equal to the Saxon ynce (inch). The English foot was actually defined as 12 of these ynces, that is, as 36 barleycorns.
About Chinese Inch
The Chinese inch, known as 'cun' in Chinese, is a traditional unit of length equal to 1/10 of a Chinese foot (chi). This ancient measurement system dates back thousands of years and is still used in traditional Chinese medicine for acupuncture point locations and herbal medicine dosing. The cun is also used in traditional crafts and construction in China and other East Asian countries.
