Conversion method:
(01) Length * Width * 9 = Square Feet (For example: A full 4-square-foot sheet of paper is 1.36m * 0.68m * 9 = 8.32 square feet. Based on: 1 square meter equals 9 square feet, using meters as the measurement unit.)
(02) Length x Width / 0.1089 = Square Feet (Example: A full 4-squared-meter sheet of paper, 1.36m x 0.68m / 0.1089 = 8.4 square feet. Calculated in centimeters: 33cm x 33cm = 1089 square centimeters)

The general calculation method for the size of calligraphy and painting sheets:
Xuan paper is generally divided into various sizes such as three feet, four feet, five feet, six feet, eight feet, and ten feet. Currently, there are also special formats. The measurement used in calligraphy and painting is different from the current measurement system. It refers to the so-called Lu Ban ruler invented by the ancestor of Chinese carpenters, Lu Ban. Taking four-foot xuan paper as an example, its sheet size is 68x137 centimeters. When folded in half or cut into three pieces, it becomes three pieces of folded or equally divided pieces. Generally speaking, a full four-foot sheet is eight square feet, and the folded sheet is four square feet. Each square foot is approximately 33x33 centimeters.
The vertical format is the most common form of Chinese calligraphy and painting framing. Generally, it consists of a straight-sized painting surface. If the painting surface is 4.35 feet or 4.6 feet in size, it is uniformly priced at 3 square feet or 1.5 square feet. For sizes exceeding these two specifications, the price is calculated based on the actual area.
The size of the banner is determined by its length. If the width is less than 1 foot, it is still calculated as 1 foot. If it exceeds 1 foot, it is calculated based on the actual area. For example, a banner that is 3 feet long and 8 inches wide is calculated as 3 square feet; a banner that is 4 feet long and 1 and a half feet wide is calculated as 6 square feet.
Lanterns can be hung separately or together with large hanging scrolls. They are a popular form that is especially favored by the general public, especially the literati. Generally speaking, in terms of width, the square footage of a pair of lanterns is equivalent to that of a horizontal scroll of the same length. For example, a 4-foot pair of lanterns has the same square footage as a 4-foot horizontal scroll, and their prices are basically the same. However, it should be noted that the number of characters on the lanterns is directly proportional to the price. For instance, a 4-foot pair of 7-character lanterns is about 20% more expensive than a 4-foot pair of 5-character lanterns.
The form of the horizontal scroll is that the painting area is vertically short and horizontally long. Generally, the vertical length is 1 foot and the horizontal length does not exceed 4 feet. Because it is relatively suitable for being placed in modern living rooms, such as being often hung above the sofa in the living room, it is quite popular among people. Whether it is a traditional Chinese painting or a calligraphy work, the conversion of its basic area is similar to that of a vertical scroll, but the price is about 20% higher than that of the vertical scroll of the same area.
The size of a fan is generally measured in "one and a half square feet", while a folding fan is measured in "two square feet", and a round fan is measured by its diameter.
The length of a handscroll is measured horizontally. The longer the horizontal length, the larger the square meter. However, there is one thing to keep in mind: the price of a handscroll, when calculated based on square meters, is significantly different from that of other formats. The price per square meter is approximately 1.5 to 2 times that of other formats (referring to works by the same artist, from the same period, with similar themes and quality).

Conversion formula between centimeters and square feet:
Length × Width × 9 = Square Feet
Four-foot square paper 1.36 meters × 0.68 meters × 9 = 8.32 square feet. Basis: 1 square meter equals 9 square feet, using meters as the measurement unit.
(2) Length × Width / 0.1089 = Square Feet
Four-foot square paper 1.36 meters × 0.68 meters / 0.1089 = 8.4 square feet. Calculated in centimeters: 33 centimeters × 33 centimeters = 1089 square centimeters.
