The Origin and History of Gobang

Gobang originated in China and is one of the competitive events in the National Intellectual Games. It's a pure strategy board game for two people. Both sides use black and white pieces and place them at the intersection of the straight line and the horizontal line of the chessboard. The one who forms five balls first wins.

The development of history

1, Japan

There is no clear record about the origin of gobang in historical materials. According to legend, gobang was popular among the people before Yao Faming Weiqi. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Gobang was introduced to Korea (now Korea) with Go, and then to Japan.

At first, gobang was mainly popular among Japanese royal nobles, and by the end of Lu Yuan (1688- 1703), it had become popular among the people. In the third year of Meiji (1899), Bulgaria officially named Gobang "Julian", which means "the sun and the moon are combined and the five stars are like" in Hanshu.

2. Europe

At the beginning of the 20th century, traditional gobang and gobang were introduced to Europe from Japan. The English translation of gobang is "Wulian" (abbreviated as FIR), and the Chinese pinyin is "wǔ zǐ qí". At the same time, according to the Japanese romanization, "five eyes touching" is translated into English as "gobang, gobang" and "Julian" is translated into English as "gobang".

At the beginning of the 20th century, the World Gobang Championship, the World Gobang Championship (GT) and the International Six Chess Open (CT) were also held.

In August 2009, the 1 1 World Gobang Championship and the third World Gobang Championship were held in Paldubice, Czech Republic.
