Mu (land)
The mu () in Mandarin, mau or mou in Cantonese, or bo in Taiwanese Hokkien, also called Chinese acre, is a traditional Chinese unit of measurement for land area. One ''mu'' equals 666.67 square meters in mainland China, 761.4 square meters in Hong Kong and Macau, and 99.17 square meters in Taiwan and Japan. ''Mu'' is the only Chinese area unit legally retained by the People's Republic of China. Origin The ''mu'' was defined in terms of the ''bu'', or more precisely the square ''bu''. Deng Zhan of the Three Kingdoms era wrote that "in the old times 100 ''bu'' makes a ''mu'', but now 240 ''bu'' makes a ''mu''. Han dynasty fields use Qin dynasty units." Combined with known values of the Han dynasty ''chi'' and ''bu'', the "new" ''mu'' of the Han Dynasty is therefore 240 ''bu''2 = 240 ( × )2 = 461 m2. Mainland On 7 January 1915, the Beiyang government promulgated a measurement law to use not only the metric system as the standard but also a set of Chinese mea ...
