Five major chess games in China

Such games include Go, Xiangqi, Gobang, Six-bang Chongqi, and Bagua chess.

1. Chinese Go originated four thousand years ago.

Go originated in China and is said to be the work of Yao. It has been recorded since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was introduced to Japan via Korea and spread to European and American countries.

Some scholars believe that Go contains rich connotations of Han nationality culture and is the embodiment of Chinese culture and civilization.

2. Xiangqi, also known as "Xiang Qi", is a Han nationality chess puzzle game. Xiangqi has a history of more than 3,000 years in China and is a two-player confrontational game.

Chinese chess is played by two people taking turns to move the pieces. The tactics follow the ancient Sun Tzu's Art of War, which states that "the best is to conquer the enemy without fighting."

3. It is said that backgammon originated during the reign of Emperor Yao more than 4,000 years ago, and has a longer history than Go. It is possible that there was a backgammon game among the people before "Yao created Go".

4. Liu Zi Chong chess, also known as Pao chess and arrow chess, is called Liu Zi Chong in Sichuan, China, Jiaoqu chess in Chaoshan, Guangdong, and Jiugui chess in Yilan, Taiwan. It is a two-player chess game popular among Chinese people.

Each side moves one chess piece in its turn, moving one square along the vertical and horizontal lines.

5. Bagua chess is a chess puzzle game that is summarized based on the knowledge of Yixue and simulates the changing laws of yin and yang. It mainly has four rules: "transformation of elephants, performance of hexagrams, empty death, and return to yuan". It is simple, flexible and has many changes, and the rhythm of combining offense and defense is fast.
