The ancient people said that the qin, qi, shu and painting in the chess what chess is chess

What the ancients called "qin, qi, shu, zhu, pinyin" in the chess, generally refers to the Weiqi.

1, Weiqi, Chinese traditional chess, international chess, belongs to the two-player adversarial intellectual game, originated in China, popular in China, Japan, Korea and other East Asian countries. It is one of the oldest and most complex intellectual games invented by the Chinese nation. It was introduced to Japan via the Korean Peninsula during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and spread to European and American countries.

2. Weiqi is played on a rectangular grid-like board with black and white discs. There are 19 vertical and horizontal lines on the regular board and 361 intersections, and both players take turns placing their pieces on the intersections of the board, each time placing a single piece, and after placing a piece, it cannot be moved, and the player with the highest number of pieces at the end of the game is the winner. Since Black has the advantage of a first move, it is stipulated that Black has to give White an eyepiece at the end of the game.

3. Different countries, such as China, Japan and Korea, have slightly different rules. Weiqi contains the rich connotation of Chinese culture, and was listed as one of the four arts of qin, qi, calligraphy and painting in ancient times, which is the embodiment of Chinese culture and civilization.In November 2019, it was selected as the "List of National Intangible Cultural Heritage Representative Project Protection Units".

4. Since modern times, Chinese Go has experienced a long period of low tide. In the 1950s and 1960s, Chinese players had few victories against superb Japanese players. The first official Go tournament held in China had less than 30 participants.

5. In 1988, the world professional Go championships, the Fujitsu Cup and the Ying's Cup, were held one after another, and the world entered a new era of Go. 1988 was also known as the "first year of the world's Go". For a long time, Go has been regarded as an art and culture rather than a competitive sport. It was not until the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou that Weiqi became an official event for the first time.

6. Weiqi has its roots in China, and has since spread around the world in different ways and means, either directly or indirectly from other countries and places. The transmission of Weiqi from China to the rest of the world is generally divided into four stages: around the 2nd century A.D., i.e., during the period of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, Weiqi began to spread to ethnic areas outside the central plains of ancient China.

7. Around the 5th century AD, i.e., the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Go began to spread to neighboring countries; around the 16th century AD, i.e., the time of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Go began to spread to European countries; around the 20th century AD, Go gradually went global.
