Summary
DescriptionHong Kong ruler close-up 002.jpg |
English: A close-up picture of a section of ruler with British (inches) and Chinese (cun) scales on its two sides. This is the 10th cun - the last cun of a chi, so that one can see that 1 chi (10 cun) was equal to 14+5/8 inches, i.e. 371 mm. A metric ruler is shown next to it for scale.
As can be seen from the worn corners, the ruler has been well used in measurements of length, such as perhaps of garment cloth, for trade transactions. |
