Ancient Chinese math toys show timeless wisdom
As a country strong in math, China has many folk games filled with math wisdom (智慧). You may have played many of them before. Let’s take a look at four of them.
Chinese nine linked rings puzzle (九连环)
The nine linked rings puzzle, also called the Chinese ring puzzle, is usually made up of nine rings connected to a handle (手柄). Players have to remove all the rings from the handle to 16 the game. An early record of this type of puzzle can be found in Strategies of the Warring States (《战国策》) from the WesternHan Dynasty (206BC-AD24). This is not a 17 game. For example, if you want to remove the ninth ring, you have to remove the third, fifth, and seventh ones first. If you start from the eighth, you won’t be able to do it.
Tangram (七巧板)
First popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tangram is a puzzle made up of seven pieces of different shapes, 18 triangles (三角形), squares and parallelograms (平行四边形). For each puzzle, players need to use all the pieces to make a shape. To do it, they have to know about geometry (几何学).

Luban lock (鲁班锁)
The Luban lock was first created by Chinese carpenter (木匠) Lu Ban 2,000 years ago. Legend (传说) has it that Lu used six wooden pieces to make a toy that looks like a lock for his son. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It’s hard to 20 the six pieces. However, it is usually 21 to unlock a Luban lock than to put it back together. Now, there are Luban locks made up of nine or more pieces.
Huarong Pass (华容道)
Huarong Pass is a 22 Chinese block-moving puzzle. Every block is named after a character in the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms (《三国演义》), like Cao Cao, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. To succeed in the game, players have to move the blocks to get “Cao Cao” out. This is a test of one’s math knowledge, for example, of geometric area (几何面积). According to the Chinese Puzzle website, it takes 23 81 steps to set “Cao Cao” free.
