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 Gry
The gry is a proposed unit of distance in the English traditional system. The name was first used in June 1679 by the philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) as a unit equal to 0.001 foot, 0.01 inch, or 0.1 line in a decimalized distance system. (Thomas Jefferson, who was very familiar with Lockes writings, later proposed a similar system in the U.S., but he called 0.001 foot a point rather than a gry.) In 1813, the gry was revived in another decimal measurement scheme in Britain. All these ideas failed, but the gry had some limited use in the nineteenth century as a unit equal to 0.1 line or 1/120 inch (0.211 667 millimeter). Long forgotten, the gry recently came back into the limelight in connection with a puzzle, circulating on the Internet, which asked for three English words ending in -gry. The word "gry" is from the ancient Greek, where it meant "a trifling amount".
