There are 7 types: King, Advisor, Elephant, Rook, Cannon, Horse and Pawn. Typically those pieces are made from small, simple wood pieces.
Pieces on the red side bear different characters than their counterparts on the black side. They are the same pieces, but names on the Red side are subtly more noble than those on the Black side <ref>[http://ancientchess.com/page/play-xiangqi.htm How to Play Xiangqi - Chinese Chess]</ref>.
