Most games are drama-like, you can learn to use soldiers in one play. What kind of traditional board games are written?

Most games are plays. This sentence comes from Yang Shen's Four Poems of Linchuan in the Ming Dynasty. This poem depicts the scene of playing chess and emphasizes the entertainment and educational significance of playing chess. Details are as follows:

1. Chess is a traditional board game with a long history, which originated in China and has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people in ancient China, and it combines many elements such as philosophy, military affairs and art, and has high cultural value.

2. The chessboard is square, consisting of nine vertical lines and ten horizontal lines, and * * * has ninety intersections. The chess pieces are divided into black chess, one side holds red chess and the other side holds black chess. Each side has a general (handsome), two scholars (officials), two elephants (elephants), two horses, two cannons and five soldiers.

3. The walking rules of chess pieces are based on simulating ancient wars, and each chess piece has its own walking route and attack mode. For example, a general (handsome) can only move in the nine squares, such as walking in the fields, walking in the sun and eating with a gun.

The process of playing chess is like a drama performance. The two sides fought for victory by strategizing and fighting wits. In the process of playing chess, players need to use strategies, observe their opponents and predict their actions. These are all good ways to exercise their thinking ability and improve their intelligence.

As Yang Shen said, "Most games are plays", and chess is not only an entertainment activity, but also a way of entertainment. At the same time, chess also has a strong educational significance. It can help people learn the art of war, strategy and tactics, and cultivate teamwork spirit and competitive consciousness.

6. Many famous military strategists and politicians in history are chess masters. They learn wisdom from chess and apply it to real life and work. Therefore, chess is known as "gymnastics of wisdom".

The origin of chess

1. Chess, also known as China Chess, is a two-player chess game that originated in China. It has a long history, dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There are many legends and sayings about the origin of chess, among which the Indian origin theory and China origin theory are the most widely accepted.

2. According to India's origin theory, chess evolved from India's "Chatulanga". Chatulanga is an ancient Indian board game with 64 pieces, divided into red and blue. Later, this game was introduced to Persia (now Iran), and after improvement, it formed a "chastity", with 64 pieces.

Around the 7th century, Chastelain was introduced into Arabia and developed there. In the 10 century, Chastelain was introduced into Europe and gradually evolved into a modern chess game. In China, Chastelain's chess was combined with local chess competitions and gradually developed into a kind of chess with China characteristics.

4. Another view is China's theory of origin. According to this view, chess evolved from the ancient art of war in China. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countries constantly competed for hegemony, and the art of war became the key to the rise and fall of a country. As a result, some wise men began to apply Sun Tzu's art of war to board games to cultivate people's strategy and wisdom. In this context, chess came into being.
