In China, puzzles are called yizhi youxi (intelligence games), and for many generations they have challenged the minds of young and old and tested the ingenuity of rich and poor alike. Along with its history of art, culture and science, China also has a rich tradition of puzzles and a fascination with puzzling objects. Besides, many traditional Chinese puzzles are artistic creations that reflect classical art form and display extraordinary craftmanship.
Here, the collection of Wei Zhang and Peter Rasmussen is displayed with splendid photography, forever assuring that the pieces can be appreciated by people of all ages.
