The Chinese abacus, also known as the suanpan, is a traditional calculating tool used in China and other East Asian countries. It consists of a wooden frame with rods that hold beads, typically arranged in two sections: the upper section with two beads per rod and the lower section with five beads per rod. It allows users to perform arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by manipulating the beads. The suanpan has been used for centuries and remains a popular tool for teaching mental calculation and arithmetic skills.
