There is a close relationship between Chinese traditional mathematics and calculation tools. From counting rods in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period (about 500 BC) to the creation of abacuses, a new and efficient calculation tool, in the Tang and Song Dynasties (618–1126), calculation tools always played an important role in the development of traditional math. Abacuses remained in extensive use in China in the twentieth century and are still highly viable. China’s counting rods and abacuses subsequently spread to countries of the Chinese culture circle and had longstanding influence on mathematical development in these countries.
