History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 253 Chess
I didn’t think about using this online name first: That means our Cuju was once very good.

Someone in the clouds sent me a brochure: Now our women's football team is also very good, the only thing that is embarrassing is that one thing.

My charming but short-lived ancestor: Alas, all I can say is that they are really embarrassing!

Wan Ning can’t sleep acridine (Guan): Okay, why are these unlucky things mentioning him, right? When mentioning Cuju, shouldn’t Gao Qiu be thought of?

The pig is coming to the bowl: Gao Qiu is indeed tied to Cuju, but Gao Qiu is a good player in the game. Is it too hasty for the Song Dynasty official to confer him the title of Taiwei?

Who in the clouds sent me a brochure: Yes, Gao Qiu is really awesome. Others may have risen to the top through ability or physical fitness, but he only relied on playing football.

Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: This is true, but then again, isn't playing football a very common thing?
Wuduyi: I remember Tang Xizong was good at playing football, but I’m not sure if it was Cuju.

His Majesty Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty: And I remember that there is a record of Huo Qubing playing Cuju in "The Biography of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing"

My charming and short-lived ancestor: I’ll go! It turns out that the champion likes to play football. He sounds so cute.

I didn’t think about using this online name first: Wow wow wow, how old was Huo Qubing at that time? Nowadays, he is only a college student, so he definitely likes to have fun!
Yinhe: I remember that Zhu Zhanji also liked to play Cuju, but his level of Cuju was far inferior to his level of cricket playing!
Jiangnan is already experiencing mist and rain:? ? ? I remember Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that they were not allowed to play.

I didn’t think about using this online name first: Zhu Yuanzhang said it, but Zhu Zhanji didn’t listen! After all, Zhu Zhanji had never met his great-grandfather before.
My dear, don’t go:? ? ? It seems to be the same, but I finally know how much Zhu Zhanji loves to play.
My charming and short-lived ancestor: But compared to Tang Xizong, he was considered good. At least some people praised him.
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: This is true. But if Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he would probably be furious. After all, Zhu Zhanji violated quite a few of the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions".
Pay attention, this woman’s name is Xiaomei: Agreed!

Su Yue looked at the comment area and said: "They are just playing and treating it as exercise, but it is definitely wrong to influence the government. Okay, let's not talk about this for now.

Cuju is an ancient game, and the water in it is so deep that ordinary people like us can't hold it.

The next one is also a game that often appears in various novels and TV series!

He is - chess!
Okay, now let’s take a look at the origins of chess! In fact, his origin is uncertain, so this time I have summarized the contents together, so you can just take a look. "

起源
Xiangqi originated from country Z and is an ancient chess game with a history of about two thousand years. It is a classic product of the intangible culture of Chinese civilization.

The famous British scholar Dr. Joseph Needham clearly stated in his book "History of Science and Culture of Country Z" that chess was also a creation of people of Country Z.

He analyzed in detail the relationship between Liubo, the ancient game of Country Z, and astronomy, elephants, and mathematics. He said: "Only in Country Z, the prevalence of the Yin-Yang theory prompted the emergence of the prototype of chess, and divination with astronomical properties was able to Invented and then developed into a game with military implications."

There are many theories about the origin of chess.

1. The Yellow Emperor originated from the legendary era.

Huang Bu of the Northern Song Dynasty said in "Guangxiang Opera Ges·Preface": "Elephants are also used in military dramas. In the Yellow Emperor's battles, ferocious beasts were driven into formations. Elephants are the majestic beasts.

Therefore, the opera soldiers are named after the elephant opera. "

2. The Shennong clan originated from the legendary era.

Nian Chang, a monk from the Yuan Dynasty, said in "Buddha's Chronicles": "Shennong used the sun, moon and stars as images, and the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty used chariots, horses, soldiers, soldiers and cannons as machines."

3. Originated from Shun’s period.

Legend has it that Shun's half-brother was named Xiang. Xiang was lazy and playful. Chang Renxia, ​​a modern scholar, said in his book "Sino-Indian Art Causes and Destinations": "Xiang was imprisoned because he was unruly, and he was afraid that he would be lonely, so he made a chess game for him to entertain him. Because of his name, Xiang , so it’s called chess.”

4. It originated when King Wu of Zhou conquered Zhou.

The Five Miscellaneous Groups of Zhaozhe and Xieyi in the Ming Dynasty says: "Xiang Opera is said to have been created when Zhou Wu was conquering Zhou. Even if this is not the case, it is also attributed to the strategists of the Warring States Period, who were responsible for heavy chariot warfare at that time."

5. Originated in the Spring and Autumn Period. The "xiang" in chess means "symbol" and has nothing to do with the animal elephant. Chess may have been modeled after the Spring and Autumn War System.

The names of the chess pieces coincide exactly with the military system of the Spring and Autumn Period, namely general, commander, rook, horse, soldier, soldier, pawn, etc.

However, chess may also be named because the pieces are made of ivory.

6. Originated from the Warring States Period.

The word chess first appeared in the Warring States Period.

"Songs of the Chu·Zhaohun" has a special record of its shape and playing methods: "There are six sets of chess in the chessboard; the camps are divided into parallels, and the roads are pressing against each other; the chess is made into an owl, and the five whites are called."

It means that the ones made of jade (i.e. castor) are equivalent to dice.

(i.e., cover) chess, each side has a total of 6 chess pieces; the method of the game is to divide the pieces and advance side by side.

(Referring to a league that requires two or two teams to play against each other), attack each other and force the other party to a dead end; in the end, the winner will win with "Mo" (referring to doubling). He defeated the enemy soldiers (the army system in the Spring and Autumn Period was composed of 5 people), and cheered for victory.

Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty also recorded in "Shuo Yuan·Shan Shuo" that Zhou Yiqin, the son of Yongmen, met Mengchang Jun and said: "The king of thousands of chariots is also...Yan Ze plays chess and Zheng Nu dances."

"Qianqueju Leishu" records: "The Yongmen Zhou Dynasty said to Lord Mengchang: 'If you move to Yanju, you will play chess, which is also a matter of the Warring States Period.' In addition to the use of troops in the Warring States Period, people at that time used war elephants as chess positions." These explanations During the Warring States Period, "chess" had become a regular activity. Therefore, the time when chess was produced was before the Warring States Period.

7. It originated from the period of conflict between Chu and Han.

In the middle of the chess board is written "Chuhehanjie", so many people think this statement is more credible.

It is also said that it was invented by Han Xin. "Preface to the Chess Score of Yuan Shen Hai Kuo" written by Liang Tong of the Qing Dynasty: "I also heard that chess began with Han Xin, and Zhu Ziyun became famous in the game."

Modern Zhou Jiasen's "Research on the Origin of Xiangqi": "When Han Xin was conquering Zhao, he played chess and leaf games to act like soldiers. Because at the end of the year, the soldiers were homesick. As soon as they got rich tools, they would gather together to play together. They lost all their money and were so happy that they forgot to return home."

In early chess, the chess system consisted of three instruments: chess, chopsticks, and game.

Both sides play chess, each side has six pieces, namely: Xiao, Lu, Pheasant, Du, and Sai (two pieces).

The chess pieces are carved from ivory.

Chopsticks are equivalent to dice, and chopsticks must be thrown before playing chess.

Game is a square chessboard.

During the competition, "throw six chopsticks and play six chess pieces", compete with each other by skill and wit, attack and force each other, and kill the opponent.
