How do you think the Ministry of Education will study the culture of abacus into elementary school a move?

Babble culture is one of the most unique and fascinating cultures in China. With just a few dozen beads, a plate and a hand, it is possible to work out complex equations. Only, to this day and age, this skill has been very few people will. Most people have gotten used to the computer's second counting, and this traditional skill has been lost. It is sad to say. Even if there are cram schools that provide training in this skill, it's just a drop in the bucket. Fortunately, the Ministry of Education has now stepped in, and they have begun to promote the culture of bead counting into elementary school. It immediately reaped countless favorable comments.

On September 7, the Ministry of Education issued an article, saying that bead counting is the great creation of our ancient working people, and that the culture of bead counting is an important element of our traditional Chinese culture. As to whether there is a need to further improve the elementary school bead calculation learning requirements, will simply use the bead calculation mnemonic, dial bead arithmetic, etc., they will further study carefully.

In fact, the issue of incorporating the culture of bead counting into elementary school curricula was already raised in 2013, when Chinese bead counting was added to UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

The proposer at the time was Liu Shangxi, who said that skill training in the planner had been phased out and that bead counting could develop children's intelligence.

But there were many experts who opposed it, with a doctor of brain science from the Chinese Academy of Sciences saying that there was no irreplaceable education in bead counting and that learning it too early was harmful.

In fact, the beads should be taught according to the material, but also with the modern information technology, choose the right content to learn.

If we focus on these three elements, it would be great to see this integrated into the elementary school curriculum.

That said, I bought an abacus when I was very young, and at that time I thought that people who could use it were really superb, and so many pharmacies still have teachers who use it. I found the relevant mnemonics online and practiced on my own, and finally learned to add, subtract, multiply, and divide, but I forgot it later on when I rarely used it.

It would be really great if all elementary school students would use it now.
