Length - zhang-liang; chang-liang

Japanese: 丈量 - じょうりょう（英語表記）zhang-liang; chang-liang

In China, this refers to the measurement of land area. This was used to expose hidden fields and tax evasion, and to increase tax revenue and make the burden fair. The Northern Song Dynasty's Square Field Equal Tax Law and the Southern Song Dynasty's Business Boundary Law are examples of this, but the first survey to be implemented on a national scale was the survey by Emperor Hongwu at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, which resulted in the creation of a land register called the "Yu Lin Tu Zhao." However, land ownership became confused again after this, so when Zhang Juzheng came to power, he began a nationwide survey in the 8th year of the Wanli era (1580), and achieved great results. However, no large-scale surveys were carried out after that, even during the Qing Dynasty.

It can be measured by sitting height or standing height, and is called a joroku statue, a joroku statue, a half-joroku statue, a life-size statue, etc., and there are set standards.

中国で田土面積を測量することをいう。これによって隠田や脱税を摘発し，租税増収や負担の公平化をはかった。北宋の方田均税法，南宋の経界法もその例であるが，全国的な規模で実施されたのは，明初の洪武帝による丈量で，その結果「魚鱗図冊」という土地台帳が作成された。しかしその後また土地の所有関係が混乱したので，張居正が政権を握ると万暦8 (1580) 年から全国丈量に着手し，大きな実績をあげた。しかし以後は清朝に入っても大規模な丈量は行われなかった。
