About these units
Square Yard (yd²)
9 square feet (0.8361 m²). Used for carpet, turf and land in the UK and India (where it is called a gaj).
Branches and rods lie behind this unit. The word yard comes from Old English gerd or gyrd, meaning a staff or measuring rod, and it first appears in the late seventh-century laws of Ine of Wessex, where a yard of land was a tax unit. Where its length came from is uncertain: pacing, the cubit and the arm of King Henry I have all been suggested. A square yard is simply a square of that length on each side.
After the 1959 agreement among six countries fixed the yard at exactly 0.9144 meter, the square yard became exactly 9 square feet, 1,296 square inches or about 0.836 m². It is used across the English-speaking world, notably in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India and Pakistan. In northern India it is called a gaj, and in Pakistan a gaz, and house plots there are often quoted in it. In the US and UK the yard, divided into eighths, is also how cloth is bought, so the square yard suits flooring and fabric in the same breath.
1 square yard = 0.83612736 square meters (exactly).

Qing (Chinese) (qing)
100 mu: about 6.67 hectares (66,667 m²). A traditional Chinese land unit.
Where the mu suits a family plot, the qing counts large holdings. It is defined as 100 mu, which comes to 6.67 hectares in the modern market system, or about 16.47 acres. Wikipedia glosses it in English as the Chinese hide, borrowing an old English term for a household's farmland.
Its size depends entirely on the mu beneath it. With the 1915 mu of 614.4 m² a qing was about 6.1 hectares, and with the 1930 mu of 666.67 m² it is the figure used here. Older dynasty values were smaller still, as the Han mu worked out to only about 461 m². The qing is now mostly a historical and literary term, and Chinese agriculture reports land in mu, hectares or, for large areas, in ten thousands of mu.
1 qing (Chinese) = 66,666.66667 square meters (approximately).
