리 In Korea, at least as early as the 3rd century – 20th century, a unit of length. Also romanized as ri.
United Nations (1966)
defines the Korean li as = 3.927… (i.e., 3 51/55)
kilometers, which is the magnitude of the Japanese ri. It does not appear to be
a magnitude the Korean ri, or li, ever had. In 1905,
under the influence of Japanese systems of weights and measures, Korea defined the
li as exactly 1/10 the size of the Japanese ri, that is 392.727… meters.
That yielded a value much closer to historical values of the ri in Korea,
for example:
| Period in centuries CE |
meters |
| 3rd | 434.16 |
| 6th-7th | 531.18 |
| 7th-10th | 559.8 |
| 10th-14th | 552.96 |
