By searching for 楊輝三角 or 賈憲三角 in Google, one can find many mentions that Yang Hui annotated about the triangle in his writings 《詳解九章算法》that 賈憲 in Northern Song Dynasty used this method in《黃帝九章算法細草》couple centuries before him. That is still not conclusive that 賈憲 invented the triangle, but at least that dates it back six centuries before Pascal.

[edit] Expansions
After my recent expansions to the article, it is no longer a stub, but start class.--PericlesofAthens 22:30, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Name of triangle
Does it make sense to ask if the Chinese name of Pascal's triangle is "Yang Hui triangle" or "Yang Hui's triangle"? We have both in this article, and in Pascal's triangle the figure caption (same figure as here) says "Yang Hui (Pascal's) triangle", which looks quite awkward.--Niels Ø (noe) 15:27, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
