	Technique of Finding One. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Qin jiushao described this method using counting board (rod numerals) diagrams.
		Using his counting board as reference, Qin jiushao started by placing 65 in the upper right of the counting board with four squares, 83 in the lower right, 1 at the upper left and nothing in the lower left.
		He then proceeded as follows, quoting Qin jiushao, "first divide right bottom by right top, multiply the quotient obtained by the top left and [add it to] the bottom left, [at the same time replacing the bottom right by the remainder of the division].

	Qin_Jiushao biography
		Qin Jiushao, also known as Ch'in Chiu-Shao, was born at the time of the Nan (Southern) Sung dynasty.
		By 1233 Qin was himself the sheriff of a subprefecture in Szechwan province and at this time he was instructed in writing poetry by an official from Chengdu, in central Szechwan province.
		It is recorded that Qin cheated his friend Wu Qian so that he became the owner of some of his land, and also that Qin punished a female member of his household by confining her without food.

	Qin Jiushao (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Qin Jiushao's literary name was Daogu and was born in Sichuan in 1202.
		Qin Jiushao was reputed to be extremely clever, and skilful in astronomy, the theory of music, mathematics, and architecture by his contemporaries.
		Later, Qin served the government in several offices but because he was boastful, obsessed with his own advancement, extravagant and corrupted, so he was several times relieved off his duties.

	The Ta-Yen Rule
		The Ta-Yen rule is a method created by a man named Qin Jiushao to solve simultaneous linear congruences (indeterminate analysis).
		Qin Jiushao provided us with quite a detailed procedure for doing this.
		In order to reduce the moduli m1, m2, m3,..., mn to ones that are relatively primed to each other, we have to first find the least common multiple of them.

		Qin developed methods for solving problems which would in western terms involve equations of up to the power 10.

		Qin Jiushao (c. 1202—1261) of China published this solution in 1247; the theorem’s name honors his accomplishment.
		You can find Qin’s solution in section 6.3.2 of A History of Mathematics 2e by Victor J. Katz, which also shows Qin’s attractive counting board implementation of the Euclidean Algorithm.
		We will see the CRT for the integers (where Qin solved it), but it holds in a much broader algebraic setting.

	Qin Jiushao and Ta-Yen rule (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It was in 1247 that a general method for solving systems of linear congruences was discovered by a man named Qin Jiushao (1202 - 1261).
		He authored a book called Shushu jiuzhang translated to Mathematical Treatise in Nine Sections which contains this general rule.
		Qin Jiushao named this general rule the Ta-Yen Rule.

	The science of mathematics is looked at with such importance in China that it is considered one of the six basic arts
		It was not until the thirteenth century A.D. when a man named Qin Jiushao began to represent this blank space with ‘0’(Reserve reading).
		Even without a number to represent the absence of a place value calculations were beginning to be worked out thanks largely in part to the invention of counting rods.
		A widely excepted theory is that the text was a long work in progress and compiles the mathematical knowledge of many from the Zhou, Qin, and Han periods.

		It was not until 1247 that Qin Jiushao (c 1202-1261) published a general method for solving systems of linear congruence's in his book called 'Shushu jiuzhang (Mathematical Treatise in Nine Sections)' (Katz, 1992, p188).
		A book clearly influenced by the old chiu chang suan shu, as were a majority of Chinese mathematical works.
		NOTE: This method was taken from Katz (1992) but written in my own words which I believe to be easier to understand.

		The statement of the theorem is that up to the product of all the moduli, the remainders are unique.
		Also, Qin Jiushao provided an algorithm for finding the number given the remainders.
		In his original example, he would make his two disciples measure the distance between his home and a river by holding hands and stepping together, one counting 23, the other counting 17.
