Chinese
Ideograms
the
real name of the Tangram puzzle?
What
is the Chinese name for Tangram puzzle? There are several ways
to call this puzzle: qi qiao ban, (near engl. pronounciation: chee
chyaow paann), qi qiao tu (pr.: chee chyaow t'hoo)
- and mean "seven tablets of wisdom" - or yi zhi
tu (pr.: yee ch'he t'hoo). The name Tangram itself
is a deformation of another now obsolete word trangram meaning
'puzzle' or 'trinklet'. (Out of curiosity, how
would you say Tangram puzzle in Latin? Septem Fragmentorum
Ludus or Ostomachion!)
