About These Units
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.
About Cubit [English]
The cubit is a historic unit of distance frequently mentioned in the Bible. The word comes from the Latin cubitum, "elbow," because the unit represents the length of a mans forearm from his elbow to the tip of his outstretched middle finger. This distance tends to be about 18 inches or roughly 45 centimeters. In ancient times, the cubit was usually defined to equal 24 digits or 6 palms. The Egyptian royal or "long" cubit, however, was equal to 28 digits or 7 palms. In the English system, the digit is conventionally identified as 3/4 inch; this makes the ordinary cubit exactly 18 inches (45.72 centimeters). The Roman cubit was shorter, about 44.4 centimeters (17.5 inches). The ordinary Egyptian cubit was just under 45 centimeters, and most authorities estimate the royal cubit at about 52.35 centimeters (20.61 inches).
