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 Shaftment
A shaftment, when used as a unit of length, is usually six inches or two palms, i.e. 15.24 cm (for the international inch). It is thought to be the distance from the tip of the outstretched thumb to the other side of the palm.In English this unit has mostly fallen out of use, as do others based on the human arm: digit (1/8 shaftment), finger (7/48 shaftment), palm (½ shaftment) hand (2/3 shaftment), span (1½ shaftments), cubit (3 shaftments) and ell (7½ shaftments).
