He Xiu's commentary states: "It is twenty thousand feet, a circumference of eleven li, thirty-three paces, and two feet, the regulation for dukes and marquises." The Liji states: "The Son of Heaven has a thousand zhì; those who receive a city of a thousand zhì have one hundred and seventy zhì; viscounts and barons have fifty zhì.
