TUNXI, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Wang Suqiu is a math teacher and abacus trainer at Dawei Primary School in Tunxi District of Huangshan, east China's Anhui Province. She is also an inheritor of China's national intangible cultural heritage of abacus calculation. In 1998, she started to integrate traditional abacus culture into her math classes for lower-grade elementary school students. In doing so, Wang developed a unique teaching style which has helped stimulate students' interest in learning math.

In recent years, Wang has dedicated herself to popularizing abacus know-hows by giving classes both at school and at the Cheng Dawei Abacus Museum. She has also made stylish abacus appearance designs inspired by the local Hui-style architecture.

"As a time-honored calculating skill, the abacus embodies a unique Chinese wisdom," said Wang Suqiu. "I hope more people will understand and inherit this culture."
