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 Step

The step is a traditional unit of distance, equal to 1/2 pace. The step is traditionally equal to 30 inches or 76.2 centimeters. However, U.S. marching bands often use a shorter step of 22.5 inches (57.15 centimeters), so that 8 steps are made every 5 yards; this works well on American football fields, which have a chalkline every 5 yards. Using this shorter step is called marching "8 by 5."
