The way of chess

Go was called in ancient times Hand talk , playing chess chess The two sides in a plain exchange of chess, understanding of life. ^[5] Lu You poetry cloud: "Painting candle chess way, golden bottle number of wine." ^[6]

The Edo shogunate First general Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616) not only loved Weiqi himself, but also introduced measures to promote its development. So to speak, Edo period He played a major role in the development and prosperity of Weiqi in Japan in modern times. This is because of the sand (1559-1623) was a senior monk of Shemikoji Temple in Kyoto, the founder of Weiqi in modern Japan, and also Benyin Fang The founder of the family, he was famous for playing the first "Sky chess" in 1603. This is due to Fang Tao policy (1645-1702) was a Weiqi master in the early Edo period, known as "Weiqi". Invincible in the world ". He integrated it tier The system has cultivated many excellent disciples and is respected as" Kisei ". Also known as "chess master" This because square show policy (1829-1862) established the" Shutzer flow The layout laid the foundation for the modern layout, and has made famous Imperial City Chess 19 straight wins. ^[7]

Wu Qingyuan advocated "the 21st century Weiqi" in his later years and walked in the forefront of innovation all his life. With his profound knowledge of traditional Chinese culture and extensive and profound chess skills, he realized the international integration of Weiqi, improved the internal and external environment of chess players, and practiced it all his life. ^[8] At that time, Japanese Weiqi had many opinions and conclusions on the way of chess, which was regarded as an iron law by chess players. At the age of 19, Wu Qingyuan dared to break through the rules, and the "new layout" eliminated many mediocre formulations. This not only set off a revolution in the Japanese chess world, but also laid the foundation of modern Go. ^[9] In the February 1941 issue of the Japanese "Chess Way" monthly magazine, Wu Qingyuan published an article entitled "My Understanding of the" Four Rules of Weiqi ". It was basically an article about chess, but at the end it said, "... Contain in... Hiroichi These four words of the great spirit of the founding of the Emperor's ancestors are also the traditions inherited by the way of Weiqi, which is magnificent and fortunate. In particular, at a time when we hope for world peace and are firmly moving toward the great ideal, while establishing a new system, the way of chess has been elevated to the position of the national spirit, which is completely dependent on the essence of our national system." ^[10]

In addition to "super" chess skills, a generation of Weiqi masters have the "supreme" chess products that very people can achieve. Chess theory is referred to as "Li", and chess rules are referred to as "rules". Chess theory is the basis of chess rules, and chess rules are the basis of chess skills. Although the chess skill is ever-changing, but all changes are inseparable from its Zong, "Zong" is the chess rules. The mystery of chess theory lies in: poverty is forbidden, prohibition is changed, change is passed, the general rule ends, and the Book of Changes: poverty is changed, change is passed, the general rule is long, the two are connected. The first and second generations of traditional chess rules have not been exhausted, and there are "no victory" cases. "What is poor and how to eliminate it" is the mystery of Weiqi rules for five thousand years.
