Is a ‘fen’ one tenth of a ?? (tai jia) then? My book says 1?? = 2934 ping, to if a ‘fen’ is a tenth of that then, 1 fen = 293 ping and 2.5 fen = 732 ping. Does anyone know if this is right, and if ‘fen’ and ‘jia’ are the common units in Taiwan???lso, how does this translate into acres and hectares? Just curious.

Dear Brian,
You’re correct, sorry, it was a type. One fen is 293 ping just as you said. Here’s some measurements that might prove useful:
1 ping = 3.31 square meters
0.3021 pings = 1 square meter
1 ping = 35.63 square feet
1 square foot = 0.028 ping
1 fen=293 ping
1 fen=970 square meters
