China traditional unit of length:

The first unit of length is actually based on a certain distance of the body, such as the "elbow" in ancient Egypt and ancient Mesopotamia, which actually refers to the length of the elbow. The "inch" used in ancient China came from the wrist.

Later, humans learned to refer to their own bodies and transfer the length measurement from the body to another object, which is today's measuring tool-ruler. With a ruler, people learned to make equally divided scales.

For China people, the most familiar units of measurement are "inch" and "ruler". Today, when describing an article, these two units of measurement are still used, even if they are rarely used in writing. It can be seen that many things have been handed down from generation to generation, and some things have long been engraved in the culture of China.

In addition, some ancient units of measurement can also be seen in China's writings. For example, there was no such unit of measurement as "inch" at the beginning, so people called the length of the palm "zhi", where one equals eight inches and one foot equals ten inches, hence the idiom "within a stone's throw". This is the wisdom of the ancients.

Besides, "inch" emphasizes smallness, so there are "inch of land and gold", "inch of land and never leave" and so on.
