The many wonderful ideas of migration from China to the West over the millennia, from a system of metric weights and measures standardized.
In 221 BC, Shi Huang Di, the first Emperor Qin Dynasty (Terracotta Army fame), this common weights and measures, as well as their use in limbo while the conditions of social and political fragmentation of the Warring States period (425 -221 BC), fell again immediately prior to his meeting of the epicEarth! Your presence and that presence is the decimal base, among other things, as in the 6th century BC (1) Its re-introduction of weights and measures has been demonstrated accompanied by a standardization of Chinese characters on the same target.
China is the world's first based on the metric system - in 1978 they reached Great Britain! Not completely Metric, let alone "before playing" with the knowledge of the Chinese edition - our perceptions often lagabout 2000 years, if you have to follow my opinion, the way other parts of the world with the question of weights and measures is!
Original metric measures the Chinese and their Western equivalents now follow: length in terms of three two chi li = 1 m and 1 km or, lightweight ke 1, 2 & Dan jin 2 equal to 1 g, 1 kg and 1 ton, respectively. Viewing area: 15 mu equal to 1 hectare, while 4 m² them equal to 1 sq. km. Capacity, 1 & 1 duo sheng equal1 and 10 liters respectively. (1)
The Chinese unit of decimal base more of its beginnings as the decimal-based metric "On the Origin -. old silk route finally awareness of Asia Minor and Europe, where slowly to reach Everybody would now be metrification (part) with the exception of two states St. Kitts and incredibly in the United States. Perhaps it is time for the United States to reconsider their use of imperial measures. It seems strange at first to recognize that no one is 6weight, the feet, but 183 cm in height, but 11 stone 70 kg and so on, until you realize that you are both! It 'the same in China (but because of their familiarity with the first decimal numbers with less anxiety), in which the combined system is the world's western rim and the metric is the ancient precursor, is beginning to replace the next one!
