Books introducing China's traditional chess.

Go, chess and China chess are also two different modes of thinking. As long as chess can be beheaded, it is actually very similar to the habitual thinking of Europeans and Americans. There are often scenes in movies, and special forces are often sent to "behead".

Go, on the other hand, focuses on gaining momentum, and then slowly exerts pressure to gain momentum with great momentum. There is no need to fight to the death, as long as I am more than half of you, which is in line with the thinking mode of China people.

Therefore, the writer Kissinger emphasized the Go thinking of China people in his article On China.

However, chess is a treasure of traditional culture in China, with thousands of years of inheritance and cultural heritage. This unique culture is rooted in China, and only has great influence on several neighboring countries.

In fact, although chess has not gone to the world, no matter where in the world, only China people have the shadow of chess, and China people's footprints have spread all over the world. Today's Weiqi is much more influential in the world than chess.

In terms of treatment, as a professional chess player, the income of Go is much higher than that of chess, so many parents choose to learn Go when they enroll their children in interest classes. Secondly, from the sponsors and media reports, more attention will always be focused on the Go game (especially the China-Japan-Korea Go game). Over time, there are fewer children learning chess, and professional chess players are treated in general. In addition, the media is not concerned. As a national quintessence, the development of chess is a little worse than that of Go.

The specific situation, I analyze from the following angles:

First: China chess is only popular in China, which is very limited! At the same time, there are also many chess analogies of the same type. Europe and America have chess, and Japan has chess. These are chess sports with long-term national characteristics, so our chess in China has stronger international competitors and more! It is difficult to popularize. However, there is no difficulty in this aspect of Go, and there is no chess variety similar to Go in any country. Japanese also play Weiqi, and Koreans also play Weiqi. There are many Go players in Europe and America now. This is easy to popularize.

Second: China chess lacks high-end professional competitions, few events, and the lack of commercial support and RMB support from sponsors. Everything is empty talk. Weiqi has received strong support from RMB. A professional Weiqi player can live in the upper class, but a professional chess player has a hard life and low income, which makes China people afraid to join the chess game easily.

Third: From a historical point of view, as long as you know the rules of chess, no matter what the technical level, several people can have a good time sitting together, and learn quickly and easily, which is very suitable for promotion and recreation among the bottom people, so chess has gradually become a leisure game for ordinary people. Otherwise, Go has been circulated among high-end talents in society, and the threshold is relatively high, so it is not easy to get started. In ancient times, the people at the bottom had a low level of education and poor quality of life, so they didn't spend time and energy playing. But after a long time, Weiqi has gradually become a self-cultivation project for high-end intellectuals, and it has also attracted the attention of the upper class. Everyone is willing to invest more time and money in Weiqi.

In the final analysis, chess is just one of the popular entertainment games, and entertainment games have considerable regional characteristics. Chess is a game invented by China people and can only be popular in Chinese-speaking circles.

Because I think it is full of Chinese characters. If I want to learn chess, I must first learn China Chinese characters! Chinese characters in China are the most difficult language to learn in the world, so most people run counter to China's chess at the same time. They want to learn an entertaining game to kill time, and they can learn another language if they are not careful! The difficulty coefficient is too big!

But it's different now. Fortunately, in recent years, some large-scale events, such as the Asian Chess Championship, the World Chess Championship, and the promotion of chess by China players abroad, have made great progress and gains.

I believe that with the smooth development of measures such as "going out and bringing in", the promotion and development of chess in the world will be better and better. I also hope that more foreign friends who are interested in China culture will participate.
