Features: The function of education is not only to impart the accumulated experience, knowledge, and skills of predecessors, but it is also increasingly valued to develop individual potential and improve national quality. The Qizhi Abacus Mental Arithmetic Experiment established by Mr. Chen Zijing, based on the psychological characteristics of young children—such as their love for play, movement, competition, imitation, and strong mechanical memory—adopts an educational method of "teaching through songs, attracting through scenes, touching through emotions, and entertaining through dance." This effectively cultivates children's attention, memory, observation, and imagination. Not only does it rapidly enhance children's computational abilities, but it also fosters a strong interest in learning, good learning habits, and positive thinking qualities. More importantly, it promotes whole-brain development, cultivating children's creativity and enabling the early development of their potential. This book is one of the Qizhi Abacus Mental Arithmetic Achievement Test papers by Chen Zijing.
Mr. Chen Zijing, a member of the National People's Congress for the seventh session, began his dedicated research on abacus mental arithmetic in the late 1970s. Over the past two decades, looking back at Mr. Chen Zijing's teaching journey, it is evident that:
(1) His "Abacus-Mind Fast Calculation" and teaching method, originally limited to Shanxi, have now spread to many provinces, cities, and districts. Although other provinces have subsequently developed their own fast calculation teaching methods, they generally do not exceed the scope of Chen's "One-Word Clear" and "One-Glance Complete." In terms of timing, no one was able to train (large batches of competitors) earlier than Chen Zijing.
(2) The contribution of Mr. Chen Zijing's teaching method lies in transforming what was once considered "highly difficult" science and technology into something accessible through the "seeking differences within similarities and finding similarities within differences" of the Similarity Theory and the "similarity association" of young children, thereby simplifying complexity. He also introduced a popular "children's song" format, pioneering its application in preschool and kindergarten education. His experiments provided the conditions for the early development of children's intelligence and the emergence of "mental arithmetic geniuses." When his young competitors performed in Hong Kong, they caused a sensation, with major media reporting: "Chinese prodigies, astonishing intelligence!" A television series set against the backdrop of Chen Zijing's teaching activities, The Mental Arithmetic Genius (winner of the Flying Award), was broadcast continuously on China Central Television, sparking public attention and curiosity. Afterward, Chen Zijing's abacus mental arithmetic spread to both domestic and international audiences.
(3) Mr. Chen Zijing's Qizhi Abacus Mental Arithmetic continues to evolve. He not only integrates abacus, pen, hand, and brain arithmetic but also advocates a joyful teaching method of singing, chanting, jumping, and dancing. This not only enables children to achieve synchronous advancement in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, making exponentiation and square roots easier, but also promotes cognitive development and achieves the goal of whole-brain development. To promote this advanced and easily disseminated Qizhi method, the Primary School Pinyin Newspaper invested significant human and financial resources to assist the elderly Mr. Chen Zijing in writing a set of 11 books titled Chen Zijing's Qizhi Abacus Mental Arithmetic, which were officially published by Hope Publishing House. This is the culmination of Mr. Chen's lifelong dedication and a valuable cultural treasure of our country. We sincerely hope that this research achievement will be widely promoted in "childhood playgrounds" across the world.
