After an engraving taken from the
Zhiming suanfa
(Clearly explained compu-
tational [arithmetical) methods). This popular book, edited by a certain Wang Ren' an at the
end of the Qing dynasty,
is
widely influenced by Cheng Dawei's famous
Suanfa tongzong
(General source of computational methods)
(1592).
