Conversion basis
Area factors are the square of length factors.
1 metre is 100 centimetres, but 1 square metre is 10,000—not 100—square centimetres. Area conversion scales both length and width.
Mu here means the shimu used in mainland China. Historical periods and regions may use different definitions, so check the source for old deeds and local records.
1 mu = 2000 ÷ 3 m² ≈ 666.6667 m²; 1 hectare = 10,000 m² = 15 mu.
