"Big Country Hand" is a film film filmed in 2009 that has set off a viewing boom, telling the story of Qing Dynasty Go masters Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia who are "the first in the world". These two figures, historically known as "chess immortals" and "chess saints", are known as Li Bai and Du Fu in the Go world, and are well-known in China, Japan and South Korea, and the chess skills of the Kangxi and Qianlong eras represented by them are a peak in the entire history of the development of Go.
Fan Xiping was a native of Haining, Zhejiang, and was born in the 48th year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1709). According to records, when Fan Xiping was 3 years old, he already showed his interest and talent in Go.
Young and intelligent, when he was 3 years old, he saw his father playing with people, and often drew finger paintings on the side of his teeth. After worshipping the famous chess player Yamain Yu Changhou as a teacher, he immersed himself in research, and at the age of 13, he came to prominence, and at the age of 16, he traveled with his teacher to Songjiang, repeatedly winning famous artists and becoming a national player. More than 20 years old, you Jingshi competed with famous players from all over the world, invincible, and famous throughout the country. It is revered as a "chess immortal" by the chess world. He plays chess with great fascination, agility and versatility. Shiren commented on it: "The layout of the pitch, the first like a grass, never inadvertent, and in a fall, the rubble worm sand turned into a storm cloud and thunder, and the overall situation won a big victory." Yuan Ming once made an epitaph for him, saying: "Xiping is a holy yi for Yi. At that time, only fellow villager Shi Ding'an could match.
He is a simple man, who has been engaged in chess and apprenticeship all his life, and although he is tempted to play chess, he does not move. Love the genealogy of the former sages, and do not care about it.
Fan Xiping's chess style is smart and ethereal, unexpected, dashing and uninhibited, wild and unrestrained, much like the current Ke Jie and Li Shishi, with strong attack power. Fan Xiping's chess is famous all over the world, and his student Bi Yuan once wrote a long poem "Autumn Learning Game Song", which has such a sentence: "Junjin Hai Nei pushes chess saints". At that time, Fan Xiping was not yet forty years old. Fan Xiping is also known as the Great Qing Chess Saint.
In the fourth year of Qianlong (1739), Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia were invited by Zhang Yongnian to play against Danghu Lake. This may be the earliest origin of Juban, and at first the two did not agree, because Juban was very harmful to the player on the losing side. In ancient China, where fame was particularly valued, juban chess was a gamble on the fame of one's life. However, at that time, Shi Xiangxia was implicated in accepting the prince's rebellion, and Shi Xiangxia was afraid that time was short, so he wanted to leave some chess pieces for future generations. Under such conditions and starting points, Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia made the famous "Ten Rounds of Danghu Lake". "Ten Rounds of Danghu Lake" is the most exquisite masterpiece in the lives of Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia, and it is also the most representative game in China's ancient game. It is precisely because of this background that the "Ten Rounds of Danghu Lake" is not a simple win-loss game in later generations, but has a solemn historical and cultural heritage significance.
At that time, Fan Xiping was 31 years old and Shi Xiangxia was 30 years old, it was when the chess strength and energy of both sides were at their peak, and both sides were "the first master in the world", and the two sides had the meaning of deciding who was the first person in the world. This is very similar to ke jie and Shen Zhenchen juban, who are eagerly awaited by Go lovers now.
From the perspective of the chess game, the battle between the two sides can be said to be fascinating, the scene is endless, the key point is exquisite, thrilling, and the traditional skills of Chinese Go are fully exerted. "Ten Games of Danghu Lake" is not only the masterpiece of Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia, but also the pinnacle of China's ancient seat system, reflecting the highest realm reached by China's chess level at that time.

The "Ten Bureaus of Danghu" is highly respected by the current and future generations:
Qian Baotang's "Fan Shi Ten Games Preface" Yun: "In the past, "Baopuzi" said, a good Go player, the world is called the chess saint. If the two gentlemen are really worthy of the name of chess saints, although there are only ten games, it is wonderful in ancient times. The Commentary on the "Haichang Ermiao Collection" said: "The strength of the bending plate, the beginning and the end of the book, the strength is great, not Fan and Shi meet, can not have this great view." ”
"The fallen son is a fairy qi, there is no dust machine in this, it is the power of the heavenly endowment, and it is beyond the reach of the extraordinary"
President Chen Zude specially wrote "Detailed Explanation of the Ten Bureaus of Danghu", which carried out in-depth analysis and interpretation of the "Ten Bureaus of Danghu". Later, the Zhejiang Pinghu Danghu 10-Game Cup CCTV TV Go Fast Chess Tournament was held to commemorate this Go event of Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia.
Many netizens are curious, Fan Xiping's strength, if put into the present, what kind of level will it be?
It is said that a professional player said that the strength of Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia is also the level of amateur 6 dan. This caused extensive discussion and uproar.
What kind of status and level of ancient Chinese chess is in the history of world Go has always been a topic of study and interest to everyone. For this topic, the authoritative statement is certainly more authoritative and fair.
In the book "Wu Qingyuan Chess Talk" made by the Japanese literary scholar Yasunari Kawabata, Wu Qingyuan speculated according to the calculation power level of the Yuan Dynasty's "Xuanxuan Chess Classic", that the chess skills of the Yuan Dynasty chess players had at least reached the level of the japanese high section in the Wu Qingyuan era, and Huang Longshi's chess strength had reached the level of ancient Japanese celebrities, that is, he and Dao Ce and Xiu Ce had a level, saying that the ancient Chinese chess saints had the level of thirteen paragraphs. Huang Longshi, Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia are the three people with the highest level of ancient Chinese chess, Huang Longshi has never encountered an opponent in his life, like a lonely defeat, Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia are lucky and are rivals with each other.
What is the level of the thirteen paragraphs? The level of thirteen dan is equivalent to the current level of AI against professional chess players. This is not to say that Huang Longshi Fan Xiping has the power of thirteen dan chess, but that they crushed the Era of Go in which they lived. Even Master Wu Qingyuan did not have such an advantage over his contemporaries, so Master Wu Qingyuan would respect them.
Ancient Chinese chess is a seat system, that is, the four-pointed star position of the chessboard is fixed on the four-pointed star position with four characters, and it is not sticky. Therefore, under different rules, it is impossible to compare the level of each other. However, the computing ability of the chess player's intraplay battle is the most reflective of the level of a chess player. Artificial intelligence AI can crush human chess players, which is based on powerful computing power. Ke Jie and Shen Zhenchen, who are now the highest level of Go in the world, are currently recognized as very powerful in their computing power. Therefore, the level of Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia can be accurately calculated through the calculation power of the middle of the lake ten innings. The use of the current AI software to deduce the layout to infer the level of the ancients is not objective and a bit ridiculous, the chess that does not stick to the goal can be played according to the purpose? It must be aggressive and excessive, inducing the other party to make mistakes.
A reporter once interviewed Chen Zude Jiuduan and talked about this issue:
Reporter: Chinese Go ushered in a heyday in the early Qing Dynasty, and a number of Go players such as Huang Longshi, Fan Xiping, and Shi Xiangxia emerged, but the judgment of their strength from "thirteen dan" to "amateur 6 dan" has been there, making it difficult to read the flowers in the fog. If the "main and strong faction" set Fan Xiping as thirteen dan, and the "main weak faction" set Shi Xiangxia as an amateur 6 dan, when the lake ten bureau really did not know what to do?
Chen Zude: It is meaningless to over-deify and demean ancient chess. In essence, the ancient "seat system" limited the space of the layout, and also determined that there is only one way to "fight hard" in ancient Chinese chess. Therefore, comparing the chess in the Fan Shi era with today, it is like letting people cross time and space to the Qing Dynasty to play zi chess with them, which is incredible.
Reporter: How is Fan Shi's calculation and killing power compared to today's people?
Chen Zude: There is more than enough. Compared with today, there are more layouts and stereotypes, and these things can be memorized by rote. Even though the level has generally improved today, there are not many chess players who really have their own style. The cultivation of combat effectiveness requires individual talent. I think that with the quality of Fan Shiqi, he is definitely a super first-class chess player today.
Master Wu Qingyuan and Dean Chen Zude, the views on the level of ancient Chinese chess saints are basically conclusive.
On the Internet forum, a question mentioned by netizens is that Guan Yu and Tyson are stronger? Many people think that Tyson will easily defeat Guan Yu. Because they think that Tyson is a modern person, an invincible boxer, with a punch of 600 pounds, that is, 270 kilograms, such a force can defeat a tiger, and one punch can kill a cow. But if these friends knew that the tiger's power was a ton, there would be no more idea that Tyson could beat the tiger.
According to the historical record of Guan Yu, Guan Yu was nine feet tall, and according to the Han ruler, Guan Yu was 2.18 meters tall and Tyson was 1.78 meters tall. Guan Yu could take the first general of Yuan Shao's army, Yan Liang, and return it in the whole body among the ten thousand troops. This is clearly recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not a novel of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Such combat power, if you fight against Tyson, can be said to kill Tyson in seconds.
If Fan Xiping Shi Xiangxia had crossed over to the present, according to the current sticker rules, to put it bluntly, he would also kill the current professional chess players, at least on the same level as Ke JieshenZhenchen.
