China
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". The ge is a traditional Chinese unit of volume equal to 10Template:Nbspshao or <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1⁄10Template:Nbspsheng. Its exact value has varied over time with the size of the sheng.
In 1915, the Beiyang Government set the ge as equivalent to Template:Convert.[1] The Nationalist Government's 1929 Weights and Measures Act, effective 1 January 1930, set it equal to the deciliter (3.381 fl oz or 0.182Template:Nbspdry pt).[2] The People's Republic of China confirmed that value in 1959, although it made the official Chinese name of the deciliter the fēnshēng (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and exempted TCM pharmacists from punishment for noncompliance with the new measure when traditional amounts were required for preparing medicine.[3]

Korea
The hop is a traditional Korean unit based on the ge which is equal to <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1⁄10Template:Nbspdoe (SK) or toe (NK). Its exact value has varied over time with the size of the doe.
During its occupation, Korea's native measures were standardized to their Japanese equivalents. The present-day hop is Template:SfracTemplate:Nbsplitres (6.1[[US fluid ounce|Template:NbspflTemplate:Nbspoz]] or 0.328Template:Nbspdry pt), the same as the Japanese gō. Its use for commercial purposes has been criminalized in South Korea, although it continues to be used in the North.

Japan
Volume
The gō or cup is a traditional Japanese unit based on the ge which is equal to 10 shaku or <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1⁄10 shō.
It was officially equated with Template:SfracTemplate:Nbspliters in 1891. The gō is the traditional amount used for a serving of rice and a cup of sake in Japanese cuisine. Although the gō is no longer used as an official unit, 1-gō measuring cups or their 180Template:NbspmL metric equivalents are often included with Japanese rice cookers. In dining, a 1-gō serving is sometimes equated with 150Template:Nbspg of Japanese short-grain rice. It also appears as a serving size for fugu and other fish. Since sake bottles are typically either 720 or 750Template:NbspmL, they can be reckoned as holding about four cups.
| 1 gō | = | Template:Sfrac | liters |
| ≈ | 180.4 | milliliters | |
| ≈ | 6.35 | imperial fluid ounces | |
| ≈ | 6.10 | US fluid ounces | |
| ≈ | Template:3/4 | metric cup |
Area
The gō is also used as a unit equal to <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1⁄10Template:Nbsptsubo. This is approximately equal to 0.3306 m².
Mountaineering
In Japanese mountaineering terms, the distance from the foot of a mountain to the summit is divided into 10 gō, and the points corresponding to these tenths of the route are generally referred to as "stations" in English.
