The Chinese character '寸' is also used for the decimeter (dm) of International Unit System (SI), so, to make a distinction, the sun used in their traditional system of measurement is called 'shi cun,' and the sun in SI is called 'gong cun.' |
また、国際単位系のデシメートル(dm)にも「寸」の字を宛てており、区別のため尺貫法(市制 (単位系))の寸を「市寸」、SI(公制)の寸を「公寸」と呼ぶ。 |
