About Square Chains
A square chain (ch²) is a surveying unit equal to the area of a square with sides of one Gunter's chain (66 feet or ~20.12 m), approximately 404.69 m². Ten square chains equal exactly one acre, making it the natural subdivision unit in traditional land surveying. The US Public Land Survey System used chains to lay out townships and sections, and square chains appear throughout old legal property descriptions and government land grants across North America. One square chain equals exactly 16 square rods.
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.
