What is chinese calculator ? How does it functions?

Although, I don’t know much about Chinese calculator but someone in my company was saying that it was used as a calculator long before the invention of modern calculator. The Chinese calculator is still used today and has survived for over 5000 years. Can you tell me more about it and also provide detailed information about calculation procedure in the device.

A simple Chinese calculator is quite an effective way for the mathematical calculation. But as compared to the contemporary calculators it stands nowhere. The first one of such kind was in 3000m BC when the equations were calculated on stones or wooden tables. The Chinese abacus is separated into two levels on one level platform and is quite an easy for calculating simple equations. There are various beads and stones inbuilt in it and each of the beads have a value of five. The Chinese calculator is used for addition, subtraction, division and multiplication as well as much more complicated mathematical equations.
