Linear measure in Taiwan is largely metric ([[kongchiQq]], meter) but some units derived from traditional Japanese units of measurement remain in use. | Linear measure in Taiwan is largely metric ([[kongchiQq]], meter) but some units derived from traditional Japanese units of measurement remain in use. | ||

Unlike with other measures, area continues to be almost exclusively measured with traditional rather than SI units. Taiwanese units of land measurement derive from both traditional Dutch and Japanese measurements. The principal unit of land measure, the [[kaq]], derives from the obsolete Dutch unit of measure, the ''akker'' which was introduced in Taiwan's era of Dutch colonization. The principal unit for measuring the floorspace of an office or apartment, the [[pheeng]], like the Korean pyeong, derives from the Japanese [[tsubo]], and is the size of one sleeping ([[tatami]]) mat. The [[lee]] represented the area that could be farmed by one man with one head of oxen and one plow. | Unlike with other measures, area continues to be almost exclusively measured with traditional rather than SI units.
