Hello everyone, I'm Bai Xi. Today's content is the contribution of chess friend Xiao Qiu, let's take a look at it.
1. Get acquainted with Go
One summer day many years ago, I came home from school and passed by a bookstore. I want to go in and watch "Cultural Journey" that I didn't finish watching last week.
Unfortunately, the book has been bought. In the same position, instead of a copy of Xu Ying's "Introduction to Go".
Go? I think of the children's anime "Go Boy", those moves that sound mighty.
"Heaven and earth are the same" and "Heaven and Earth are great", so that I was once young, I was extremely yearning, lamenting that I was not born at the right time.
Later, when I was a little older, I saw the Zhenlong chess game posed by Wuyazi in Mr. Jin Yong's "Tianlong Babu", which sublimated Go to the height of philosophy.
Put it to death and live later, fill in a piece of your own death, the situation is suddenly clear, and the problem is solved.
Is Go really so magical?
I opened the book with curiosity. Since then, he has entered the world of black and white and embarked on the road of Go.
That afternoon, I understood what it was, the edges, corners, stars, small eyes, pinch wrenches, and backstop jump sticky pairs.
When I came out of the bookstore, it was already red and the sun was sinking, the sunset was full of sky, and the heat was still rolling outside.
Summer in Chongqing is not the usual heat. But I was very happy, because I felt that I had learned a new skill: Go.
At that time, I could not imagine that this would become my survival skill, my job.
2. Ancient Chinese Go
Go is an elegant art, and it ranks second in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The Analects: Eating all day long, having no intentions, is there no game?
In ancient times, only emperors and generals, dignitaries, and literati were "qualified" to play Go.
Because they have a relatively good income to maintain their lives, have relatively generous time, and have an environment for them to learn Go.
The poet Du Mu once had a poem cloud: "Absolute art is like a king in the world, and idle people are like I have nothing in the world." Don't back the bamboo window on a snowy night, a light and dark cover Wu Tu." Outside a lone lamp, heavy snow was flying and the cold wind was howling.
A person, take out a chess set, and then put the game score with his friend Wang Feng in that year, so as to remember the deceased. How poetic, how elegant.
I think that Du Mu at this time must be happier and happier than Zhao Shixiu, who "knocked on the chess pieces and fell on the lights".
Compared with Zhao Shixiu, Du Mu's chessboard has a "temperature", which witnesses the time and friendship of a pair of good friends playing chess together.
3. The development of Go
The breadth and depth of Go, the complexity of the changes is beyond the reach of other board games. Many people who love Go spend their whole lives and it is difficult to understand one or two.
As Hideyuki Fujisawa said in nine paragraphs: Go is a hundred, I only know seven.
Even the humility of the master is also a fact. Go was born in China and grew up in Japan.
Generation after generation of torches have been passed on, and many chess figures have emerged. How many legends are left to be talked about.
Master Wu Qingyuan crossed east to Japan and swept through thousands of armies, unstoppable. Pushing Go to a new level.
Utaro Hashimoto, Eio Sakata, Michihei Takabe, Tomosai Fujisawa... The crowd chases the deer, each presents a talent, you sing, I take the stage.
Then the six super first-class masters, such as the sun in the sky, shined.
The majestic cosmic stream, Koichi Kobayashi, the handsome ohtake hero, and the murderous executioner Masao Kato. It was the most glorious era of Japanese Go.
The country is picturesque, and there are many heroes at a time. The exciting Sino-Japanese Go tournament has been put into laughter. The appearance of Lee Chang-ho. It's eye-opening.
No one could have imagined this young, unspeakable teenager. He will be able to dominate the chess world for many years to come.
In 2016, the Alpha Dog was born. Let the long-immersed Go set off a monstrous wave in the hearts of the world, and since then artificial intelligence has entered the public vision.
Today, Go is "the old King Xie Tang Qianyan, flying into the homes of ordinary people". The bustling city, the streets and alleys, can see the Go training institutions.
The government advocates, the school actively promotes, and professional chess players vigorously promote it, and it is thriving.
4, me and Go
Now, as a Go teacher, I stand on the podium, teach the knowledge of Go to the children, and continue to pass on the things that have been passed down for thousands of years, which is an honor.
It can also be regarded as a kind of "continuing to learn for the sake of the saints".
In the classroom, the children focused on the chessboard, mentioned the joy of each other's son, pondered when the situation was passive, and smiled when winning.
I am deeply relieved to see this. This is the outpouring of their truest emotions, unabashed, so innocent.
The experience of the chess game has benefited them a lot at a young age. Strong attack and weak defense, small and large, I hope that their future life path, can also use the Way of Thinking of Go to consider how to go.
I hope that after they grow up, in their leisure time, they can also sit down calmly with their confidants and friends and talk about a round of hand.
