The principal unit for measuring the floorspace of an office or apartment, the [[pvii (tan'ui)|pvii]] derives from the Japanese ''tsubo''. Taiwanese units of land measurement derive from both traditional Dutch and Japanese measurements.

The ''[[lee (tan'ui)|lee]]'' represented the area that could be farmed by one man with one head of oxen and one plow. | ||
