There is actually a Chinese form of pieces. Pawns are 贝(Seashell), Rooks are 舟(Boat), Knights are 马(Horse), Bishop are 根(Root), Queen is 种(Seed), and King is 君(Emperor). Also, birds are used to be another theme: Pawn is Swallow, Rook is Falcon, Knight is Crane, Bishop is Eagle, Queen is "Peng", and King is Phoenix(凰).
