		The rules of Tangram are very simple: You must use all 7 tans to make the figure (if you have pieces left over, then the figure you have created is not the solution).

		The true history of Tangrams is in fact shrouded in myth and mystery, and the truth of its inventor, origin and etymology are the subject of some considerable speculation.
		The earliest known literary reference to Tangrams is in a Chinese book dated 1813, but it is widely accepted that the puzzles were already well established in China by that time.
		Perhaps the most plausible of the theories pertaining the etymology of the Tangram is that it may be derived from Tang, the dynasty that ruled China from AD 618-907 (regarded as a golden age of Chinese poetry and art).

		Tangram puzzles have fascinated people of all ages for centuries.
		Based on an ancient Chinese puzzle called Chih-hui-pan (Wisdom Board), Tangram puzzles are simple enough for a child's coordination, yet subtle enough to challenge an adult's skill and perception.

		Tangram is an object-relational mapper: it makes objects persist in conventional relational databases, in effect letting you use RDBMSes as if they were object databases.
		Tangram supports inheritance (including multiple inheritance), polymorphism, object identity, relationships (including collections), load-on-demand, etc. It also gives access to the powerful query facilities found in RDBMSes via an intuitive object syntax.
		In the second part I will explain how these issues are solved by Tangram, and how you use the module to essentially rid yourself of any persistence concerns.
