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, moving through emotions, and entertaining through dance." This effectively cultivates children's attention, memory, observation, and imagination. It not only rapidly enhances their computational abilities but also fosters a strong interest in learning, good learning habits, and positive thinking qualities. More importantly, through whole-brain development, it nurtures children's creativity and promotes the early development of their potential. This book is one of the standardized test questions for Chen Zijing's Qizhi Abacus Mental Arithmetic. Mr. Chen Zijing, a member of the National People's Congress for the seventh session, has been dedicated to researching abacus mental arithmetic since the late 1970s. Over the past two decades, looking back at Mr. Chen Zijing's teaching journey, it is not difficult to find the following:
(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 "Instant Recognition." In terms of timing, no one was able to train competitors earlier than Chen Zijing.
(2) The contribution of Chen Zijing's teaching method lies in transforming what is considered "highly difficult" technology into something accessible. Through the "Seeking Differences in Similarity and Finding Similarity in Difference" of the Similarity Theory and the "Similarity Association" of young children, he simplifies the complex and makes the difficult easy. He also introduces this approach to preschool and kindergarten in a popular, song-like form, setting a precedent both domestically and internationally. His experiments have provided conditions for the early development of children's intelligence and the emergence of a batch of "math prodigies." 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 Math Genius (winner of the award), was broadcast continuously on China Central Television, sparking public attention and curiosity. Afterward, Chen Zijing's abacus mental arithmetic spread to both China and abroad.
(3) Chen Zijing's Qizhi Abacus Mental Arithmetic continues to develop. 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 their cognitive development, achieving the goal of whole-brain development. To promote this advanced and easily disseminated Qizhi method, the Primary School Pinyin News Agency invested significant manpower 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 crystallization of Mr. Chen's life's work and a valuable cultural treasure of our country. We sincerely hope that this scientific research achievement will be widely promoted in "childhood playgrounds" both at home and abroad.
