Ancient Chinese padlocks can be classified into splitting-spring locks and combination locks. This work introduces the structure, the motion, and the collection of combination locks. Combination locks in the dictionaries and encyclopedias are presented first, Most of the ancient Chinese combination locks use Chinese characters engraved on the wheels as secret codes. They are opened by turning the wheels into the right positions, Compared to splitting-spring locks, combination locks have fewer applications and examples in collections. Some combination locks take the shape of auspicious animals, such as dragons or kylin. The combination locks appeared no later than the Qing dynasty based on the collected items. And, the poem and engravings on the wheels reveal the technology and culture of the age.
