珠算,是中华民族的宝贵文化遗产之一,历千百年而未衰。但是,在封建社会“士不言利”思想的影响下,上层的学士大夫看不起珠算,说它是“为商人孳孳以谋利的工具”。故“用之者虽众,重之者实寡”(引自王丙乾为《中国珠算大全》所写序言)。新中国成立后,笼罩着珠算的迷雾被扫除,珠算的地位和价值得到了充分肯定,从而使它在社会主义经济建设中发挥了重要的作用。但是,在日益普及的电子计算机(计算器)的影响下,珠算还能存在多久?人们又产生了疑问。自然,有人肯定它的存在价值,也有人持相反的看法。值得一提的是,周恩来总理对珠算非常重视。1972年10月月14日,他同李政道博士谈话时指出:“要告诉下面,不要把算盘丢掉,猴子吃桃子最危险。”
Abacus, is one of the precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, calendar years without failure. However, under the influence of the feudal society’s not-for-profit philosophy, the top-level scholar-doctor looked down on abacus and said it was “a tool for profit-making for the sake of merchants.” Therefore, “although the use of those who are the most important” (quoted from Wang Bing Qian as “Chinese Abacus” written in the preamble). After the founding of New China, the mist covering the abacus was swept away and the position and value of abacus were fully affirmed, so that it played an important role in the socialist economic construction. But how long can the abacus still exist under the influence of the growing popularity of electronic computers (calculators)? Naturally, some people affirm its existence value, others hold the opposite view. It is worth mentioning that Premier Zhou Enlai attached great importance to abacus. On October 14, 1972, in his conversation with Dr. Li Zhengdao, he pointed out: “Do not forget to discard the abacus. It is most dangerous for peaches to eat peaches.”
