It was mentioned in a 2nd century BC Chinese document, and versions may have been used for thousands of years prior. The abacus is called “suanpan” (算盤, calculating pan) in China. The Chinese abacus has a long history, and using one is actually simple though it takes practice to use it proficiently. In fact, it isn’t clear where it was invented. Similar abacuses were used since ancient times in the Western world and India also. It wasn’t only the Chinese who used abacuses. I couldn’t figure out how they were used and felt kind of stupid because people were obviously calculating faster than I could. I remember when I first saw them, I was kind of dumbfounded. Up until calculators and teller machines became so cheap in China, they were widely used. In China, in outlying towns or more backward areas, you might see one lying around or actually used if you go into a shop.
