Wulu
Pin: wū lù Wulu is a name for Go. There is no clear time when Go was invented. However, there are records in ancient books that "Yao made Go and Dan Zhu was good at it". But as a legend, its time cannot be verified. "Zuo Zhuan", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and other books all have records about Go. This at least shows that Go has been widely popular during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period in our country. Go, which is vividly compared to the black and white world, is a very popular entertainment and competitive activity. The chess pieces of Go are divided into black and white. During the game, the black player places the pieces first, and then both sides alternately place the black and white chess pieces on the 361 intersection points on the chessboard. During the game, the players remain silent and use only their middle and index fingers to maneuver the pieces. As long as one of the players has 181 points or more, it is a victory. The ancients believed that the black stones in Go are like crows and the white stones are like egrets, so they nicknamed Go "Wulu". Most Go pieces in ancient times were made of jade. Later, with the popularity of Go, they began to be made of ceramics, copper, glass and other materials. Black Heron Go pieces are divided into two colors: black and white. The black pieces are like crows and the white pieces are like egrets, hence the name Black Heron. Song Dynasty Wang Zhidao's "Butterfly Love Flower" chants Go, "Black and white herons.
