What is the history of Xiangqi and Go, and what is the legend of the origin of Go and Xiangqi?

The legend of the origin of Go and Xiangqi is described below.

1. The origin of Go is a brief search for legends.

Legend has it that Go was the ancient Chinese sage Yao Shun.

created. Wu Qingyuan.

According to his understanding, the origin of Go was not to compete for victory or defeat, but to observe astronomy. If it is acceptable that Go originated from the observation of the movement of celestial bodies and the divination of yin and yang, then there is a reason why Yao invented Go, and he invented Go with the tools of divination.

Go uses a square checkered chessboard and black and white round chess pieces to play the game, and the chessboard is divided into 361 intersection points with 19 vertical and horizontal line segments, and the chess pieces walk on the intersection points, and the two sides alternately move the chess, and cannot move after the pieces fall, and the one with more enclosures wins. Because Black has the advantage of occupying the land first, the rules artificially stipulate that Black should give White a post at the end of the game. Go is considered the most complex board game in the world.

The development of the whole game of Go is that it first originated in China and is said to be Di Yao.

It was recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was introduced to Japan through Korea and spread to Europe and the United States.

2. The origin legend of chess.

Xiangqi came after Go. But its origins are a very complex problem to solve, because chess went through many evolutions before it was finalized.

It is generally believed that it was produced in southern China around the 11th century BC. The chessboard is composed of nine straight lines and ten horizontal lines, a total of ninety intersections, and the ground sail that has not been drawn through the straight line is called the river boundary, and there is an oblique crossing line.

The place is called the Nine Palaces, and there are a total of thirty-two chess pieces.

In written records, the origin and development of chess are recorded. The earliest documents were recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the chess art was collectively referred to as the game, and Bo referred to chess. It is recorded in "Chu Ci Summoning Spirits": There are six games in chess.

The river boundary where the two sides face each other in the chess board is also called the Chu River Han boundary. Legend has it that it was in Liu Bang.

When fighting with Xiang Yu Chuhan, Han Xin.

The following chess teaches the local soldiers the strategy of marching and fighting, so there is Han Xin to do chess. Tang Xiangniu monks and children used chariots and horses, generals, earth, and Xin plus cannons, and replaced them with chess. In the Song Dynasty, there were 32 pieces on the board, each with 11 pieces. Two cannons were placed on the side of the car.

Go appeared much earlier.

The legend of Go was made by Yao ("Shiben" records, "Yao made Go, Dan Zhu Shanzhi. ”）

But what can be accurately checked is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period: "Zuo Chuan: Xianggong Twenty-five Years" (548 BC) contains: "Wei Xiangong Ziyi Yi Yi envoy and Ning Xiyan, Ning Xi Xu Zhi."

Uncle Wenzi ...... when he heard itThe player is indecisive, overwhelmed, and the situation is uncertain? It will be inevitable! ’”

During the Warring States Period, there was already a name for chess, but it refers to the six chess pieces made of ivory, which is different from the chess that is now used to rush and sleep.

The game of chess was first called Xiangxi, and the term came out of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, meaning a symbolic game.

Later Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty compiled the "Elephant Classic" according to the chess at that time, and there was the image of the sun, moon and stars, from which the name of the elephant opera came, called the Northern Zhou Elephant Opera.

The later evolved Tang Dynasty Baoying chess, in the form of an eight-by-eight black-and-white chessboard, and the chess pieces were three-dimensional.

Combined with the four patterns of "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting" that can be seen in the early Northern Song Dynasty, and the chessboard with eight squares by eight squares of light and dark to represent chess, and the copper chess pieces with graphics on the back unearthed in Kaifeng, Henan, we can conclude that the chess system of the Tang Dynasty has many similarities with the early chess.

The real finalization of modern chess was after the Song Dynasty.

Go, originated in China, known as Yi in ancient China, can be said to be the originator of chess, and has a history of more than 4,000 years. According to the pre-Qin classic "Shiben", "Yao made Go, Dan Zhu Shanzhi." Jin Zhanghua inherited and developed this method of saying the middle hall in the "Naturalist Chronicles".

Yao made Go to teach his son Danzhu. Or cloud: Shun is stupid with his sons, and pretends to play Go to teach him.

The board of Go consists of 19 vertical and horizontal crossings, forming 361 intersections, on which the pieces are placed. There are 180 pieces of Go pieces in black and white. The game of Go is ever-changing and intense.

The two sides used various techniques and tactics to attack each other, which was very combative. Because of the infinite mystery of Go, the ancients once exaggerated that only immortals could invent it.

Learning Go can not only exercise and improve people's logical thinking ability, but also cultivate temperament and cultivate people's tenacious, calm and calm character. Therefore, it is becoming more and more popular with modern people. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Go was introduced to Japan, and in the 19th century, to Europe.

At present, more than 40 countries and regions in the world have carried out the game of Go. Among them, China, Japan, and South Korea have the highest level of Go sports. Chinese Go players such as Nie Weiping and Ma Xiaochun are all internationally renowned players.

Go has developed into an important international sport.
