Chess source code

The word "chess" first appeared in Chu Ci? There are six books in Evocation. Go hand in hand with Cao, forcing each other; When you become a cockroach, you will seek it and you will be white. "That poem. Liu Xiang's Shuo Yuan in the Han Dynasty: "Zizhou said, said, live in Yanju first, and play chess and dance with Zheng women. "Chess came into being in the clan areas in southern China around the Zhou Dynasty. In early China chess, the chess system consisted of three instruments: chess, chopsticks and chessboard. The two sides play chess, with six players on each side, namely: owl, Lu, pheasant, calf and stopper (two pieces). However, according to later research, the chess of this period is not the chess we play today. In the Jin Dynasty, there was an interesting story in a book named after Tao Yuanming's "Searching for the Gods": in an orange orchard in Bajiong, there was a huge orange on an orange tree. The shopkeeper picked the orange, cut it open and found two old people inside. One said, "You lost to me nine times in Yuchen, Yingzhou, and lost to me eight times in socks, and we will do the same in the future." Say that finish two people disappeared. Although this is just an absurd fairy tale, it shows that chess has been circulated among the people since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Although some people think that the elephant play mentioned in the story is just a game called chess, more people still regard chess as an invention of the gods and call it "orange play". The chess score compiled by Zhu Jinzhen in the Ming Dynasty is called "Secrets in the Orange", which is from this. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, chess activities were frequently recorded in historical records, Tang legends and poems, the most important of which was the description of Wu Zetian's dream of playing chess in the drama "Nine admonitions from Liang Gong" and the story of Censhun's dream of playing chess in the ancient tomb in the first year of Baoying (AD 762) in Niu Senru's Mystery Record. It shows that chess has been very popular in Sui and Tang dynasties, and its play is very similar to that of later generations. However, according to research, there are only four arms of chess at this time: general, chariot, horse and pawn. In the Song Dynasty, with the application of gunpowder in the war, guns were added to the chess pieces. Later, Shi Hexiang also joined in. After thousands of years of development and changes, chess became a modern model at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, including: 32 pieces, the chessboard of Chu, He and Han, the general of Jiugong, and so on. In the Southern Song Dynasty, chess was even more "native". Not only in the "chess to be handed down" formulated by the imperial court, players account for more than half. There are also professional chess players known as "chess masters" and craftsmen who specialize in making chess pieces and chessboards. Since then, chess has become a very extensive chess activity of the people all over the country, and it has continued to this day.
