Paddy fields 畦稻 (The first character has the fanqie 胡圭 [qí]. Mencius mentions 'being wearied by [laboring in] the summer plots.' Liu Xi says: 'In current custom, twenty-five mu make a small qi, and fifty mu make a large qi.' Wang Yi's commentary on the Chuci says: 'Qi is like qu, "a plot".' The Shuowen also states: 'Fifty mu make a qi.' It is composed of "field" (田) with "gui" (圭) phonetic.)
