What traditional culture does chess belong to?

Because chess belongs to China, although it is similar to chess, it uses words to express the identity of chess pieces, so it is difficult for friends of different nationalities to understand the meaning of chess. Speaking of board games in China, you will soon think of chess and Go. Strangely, Go can reach the international stage, but chess can't. Why on earth is this?

1. Chess is very popular in China cultural circle. Chess is a traditional board game in China, which has a long history in China. It is very popular in the Chinese community and is also loved by countries with Chinese character culture. It can be said that Chinese characters are the essence of chess. Everyone is familiar with the shape of chess. A small round flat chess piece engraved with Chinese characters to show its identity. So if you want to learn chess, you must first learn the Chinese characters in chess. Chinese characters not only represent the identity of chess, but also are closely related to the rules of chess.

2. China in chess makes it difficult for international friends to accept chess. We have to admit that the popularity of Chinese characters in the world is not wide. The universal language is English, and the use of Chinese is basically only in Asia. In other words, most people in the world don't know or understand Chinese characters, let alone play chess. Even if they are allowed to learn the rules of chess, they are already stumped when they recognize chess. They can't even recognize the chess pieces. How can we expect them to learn to play chess?

3. chess is too similar to chess. In addition, chess and chess have a high similarity, which should also affect the process of chess going international. Now that we have similar chess, why should we introduce a difficult China chess? Moreover, compared with China chess, chess has a wider popularity and more players. In this case, chess is certainly more suitable for the international arena.

Generally speaking, chess is a popular game in the Chinese community, and naturally it is not qualified to board the international stage. Unless Chinese becomes the universal language in the future, chess may have a chance to enter the international stage.
