Zhàng
The zhang ( zh, c= ) is a customary Chinese unit of length equal to 10 chi (Chinese feet). Its value varied over time and place with different values of the chi, although it was occasionally standardized. In 1915, the Republic of China set it equal to about 3.2meters or 3.50yards. In 1930, this was revised to an exact value of 3⅓meters (about 3.645yd). It is not commonly used in mainland China today but appears in traditional Chinese architecture, where it was commonly used to measure bays.

Chang Number
In mathematics, the Chang number of an irreducible representation of a simple complex Lie algebra is its dimension modulo 1 + ''h'', where ''h'' is the Coxeter number. Chang numbers are named after , who rediscovered an element of order ''h'' + 1 found by . showed that there is a unique class of regular elements σ of order ''h'' + 1, in the complex points of the corresponding Chevalley group. He showed that the trace of σ on an irreducible representation is −1, 0, or +1, and if ''h'' + 1 is prime then the trace is congruent to the dimension mod ''h''+1. This implies that the dimension of an irreducible representation is always −1, 0, or +1 mod ''h'' + 1 whenever ''h'' + 1 is prime. Examples In particular, for the exceptional compact Lie groups ''G''2, F4, E6, E7, and E8 the number ''h'' + 1 = 7, 13, 13, 19, 31 is always prime, so the Chang number of an irreducible representation is a ...

Fangxiang
The ''fangxiang'' (also ''fang xiang'', ''fang hsiang''; 方 响 or 方 響 in Chinese, pinyin: fāngxiǎng; also known in the West as the Chinese chang) is an organized-suspended (bianxuan) Chinese metallophone that has been used for over 1,000 years. It was first used in the Liang Dynasty (502—557 CE), and then standardized in the Sui and Tang dynasties mostly for court music. Construction and design A ''fangxiang'' consists of 16 tuned rectangular iron, bronze, or jade tuned slabs with 16 different chromatic pitches, laid in a frame in two rows. The slabs are struck with a hammer and played melodically. Unlike the metallophone today, Chinese changed the thickness of the metal plates to obtain different pitches. Each of the slabs is of the same length and width but they are of graduated thickness, with the thinner slabs producing lower tones and the thicker slabs producing higher tones."Fangxiang (方响)." - China Culture.
