About These Units
About Chinese Foot
The Chinese foot, known as 'chi' in Chinese, is a traditional unit of length that originated in ancient China over 3,000 years ago during the Shang dynasty. Originally based on the span of a human hand from thumb to forefinger, the chi has been adopted throughout East Asia. The modern Chinese foot varies by region: approximately 33.33 cm in mainland China, 37.15 cm in Hong Kong, and 30.30 cm in Taiwan.
About Ell [Scotland]
See the English El (or Ell). This Scottish length is shorter than the English El. It may reflect an old practice of cloth merchants in giving an extra inch with each yard, to allow for any irregular cutting at the ends of the piece. However, the English cloth ell is definitely longer than the yard; it seems to be the distance from the shoulder to the fingers of the opposite hand. This reflects a practice of cloth merchants of holding the cloth at the shoulder with one hand and pulling the piece through with the opposite hand. This cloth ell was used with a similar length in France, where it was called the aune. The Dutch el and German elle are a little more than half the English ell; they may represent "arms-length" units like the Italian braccio, the Russian sadzhen, and the Turkish pik
