In this paper, some constructions of Yang Hui type magic squares are provided. As their application, it is shown that there exists a Yang Hui type magic square YMS(n, 2) for all even order n ≥ 4. Meanwhile, a diagonally ordered irrational YMS(n, 2) is also mentioned and it is shown that such a YMS(n, 2) exists for all integers n ≡ 2 (mod 4) with n ≥ 6.
