In canton it was a gold and silver weight or was generally referred to as candarin (English candareen ) in this use .
Weight
- 1 fen / chicken / hoon / fivan = 0.375832 grams
- 1 tael / tael = 100 fèn / chicken = 37.5832 grams (the tael was also the name for a Chinese currency unit that is no longer in use.)
length
- 1 fen / chicken = 0.32 centimeters (0.365 centimeters)
- 10 Fen = 1 Taluche

The dimensional chain was
