About Mu
The mu (亩, also written mǔ) is China's traditional unit of agricultural land area, equal to 1/15 hectare or approximately 666.67 m². It has been the standard land measurement in China for over two thousand years. China's total farmland is reported in hundreds of millions of mu, and rural property records across China use mu as the primary unit. One hectare equals exactly 15 mu. One mu equals approximately 0.165 acres or about 797 square yards.
About Square Rods
A square rod (sq rd), also called a perch or square pole, equals the area of a square with sides of one rod (5.0292 m or 16.5 ft), giving approximately 25.29 m². This traditional unit was central to land surveying before the adoption of the metric system and remains embedded in legal property descriptions in the United States. There are exactly 160 square rods in one acre, and 40 square rods in one rood. Old farmland deeds and archaic land records in the UK and US frequently reference perches and square rods.
