Problem description:

I heard in the storytelling that he sits taller than the average person standing. Is it true?/You don't say. How high is it according to the present size?

Analysis:

In Water Margin, Song Wu is described as eight feet long.

Original text:

It turned out that Wu Da and Song Wu were born to a mother. Song Wu is eight feet long and very handsome; There are thousands of pounds of strength in your body-how can you beat that tiger without hesitation?

One foot 3 1.68cm in Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Eight feet equals 2.5 meters. .....

This is absolutely impossible. If he is really that tall, he must have gigantism.

In ancient times, men with high martial arts were often described as eight feet long, not really that tall. I think Song Wu is 2 meters at most. )
