Why is the car in China chess called Ju?

During the Spring and Autumn Period, four horse-drawn chariots appeared, all of which were called "foals" at that time, and later there were coachmen specializing in driving wagons.

China Chess, because of its simple playing method, is convenient for most people to play with both hands. There are some popular and easy-to-remember jingles, such as "One shot hits a mountain, one horse goes first", "One soldier crosses the river without looking back" and "Monday morning quarterback".

In addition to reading cars, ancient cars can also read houses, and there are other meaning besides chess. Car reading ju means chewing gum. So in chess, if the car reads, it means chewing gum. The car in chess is really a chariot, which is the role of chess pieces, but the ancients did not read the car, but read the house to show the importance of chess pieces. Cars are as important as gums, and they are very lethal and effective. Once lost, it will get cold and may even hurt the coach.

If the other side lacks one or two drivers, it will be very afraid of drivers, horses and chariots, and double cars. A large part of the driver's task is to resist this cooperation. Without a driver, we call it air leakage, and one side is always unsafe. Then we all know the characteristics of cars. Double cars can be distributed on the left and right sides, and the wrong killing is called double car fault. There are also high and low cars, long and short cars, and cars can also kill drivers by force, and double cars can be used together. Therefore, we are very afraid of two cars, one of which is short of talents and the other is short of talents. Try to keep two cars and ensure the fastest chess killing.

As a lack of people, we can understand that we can exchange horses and chariots with each other as much as possible and try to avoid these combinations near Jiugong.

Chess is played with a square chessboard and red and black round pieces, and ten horizontal lines and nine vertical lines are divided into 90 intersections; There are 32 chess pieces * * *, each color 16, which are divided into 7 arms and moved at the intersection. The two sides play chess alternately, and the "dying" side of the other side wins first (because the thief catches the king first). In China, chess, which has a history of thousands of years and is full of oriental wisdom, has far surpassed Weiqi in mass base in China and has always been the most popular chess event.

Now everyone can pronounce it as "walking without riding", but before the simplification of Chinese characters, some people pronounced it as "walking without riding". For example, in the cross talk "Talking about Hygiene", Mr. Liu Baorui read it as "car". Then the problem is coming. How to pronounce the word "car" in this idiom? To understand this problem, we must first understand the origin of the word "walking quite slowly".

From the poetic point of view, until the Qing Dynasty, cars could rhyme with living or living homophones. It is clearly stated in Kangxi Dictionary that this is pronounced jū.

The word "car" refers to the car mentioned in the Analects of Confucius in Song Dynasty, such as "riding car, field car, chariot and bus", which is used for riding or war.

However, with the development of Chinese pronunciation, the word "Che" is widely pronounced as "chē" in modern times, only in China chess and such as "Che" (pronounced) and "shache" (pronounced.
