As part of the heritage and life experience shared by the
Chinese race, promoting the use of abacus remains a
fundamental responsibility of all Chinese people.
The Taiwan Chamber of Commerce has since 1960 begun
to conduct exchange and mutual visits with major abacus
provincial associations across Mainland China through the
China Zhusuan Association.
And over a decade’s time, more than the routine
staging of the “Cross-strait Abacus Demo Contest”, and the
“Cross-strait Abacus Correspondence Contest”, and there are
also several jointly staged academic forums that help to
introduce Mainland’s “abacus prevalence education”, the “Yi
Co Chin”, and “the skill of stirring beads with both hands”
to Taiwan.
At the same time, it also helps to promote Taiwan’s
mental arithmetic classes that fit today’s industry and
commercialized society and the franchise promotion to the
mainland region that serve to compensate what each other
lacks and to jointly excel the abacus computing enterprise.
In near term, the association is working with the
China Zhusuan Association in streamlining a systematic
cross-strait abacus judgeship and mental arithmetic
certification program in anticipation of prolonging the
cross-strait abacus- promoting endeavor. |
