According to Chinese sources, one Li is equal to the area that one man with one head of oxen and one plow can farm. One Li is equal to five Jia. For example, see http://www.cles.tyc.edu.tw/longtan/longtangrou-1.htmTwocs 15:53, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"八張犁的由來，是由於當初的墾地有四十甲，按照當時的算法五甲為一張犁，所以換算起來一共有八張犁。" Seems to say 8 long-plows equals 40 kah, given there are 5 kah per long-plow.Hongthay (talk) 02:35, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
