Wang Dao (276-339) was born in Linyi. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao, armed to the teeth, saw the irreversible pattern of the Western Jin Dynasty, so he offered a plan to Si Marui, the evil king of the post station at that time, and advised him to move to Jiangzuo and cross the river to make contributions. This move made Jiang Zuo's political power continue to rule for a century after the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty. In the first year of Daxing (3 18), Wang Dao became prime minister as a hero of ZTE, and his cousin Wang Dun was heavily stationed in Wuchang, which made the Wangs reach the peak of political rights. At that time, people called it "the king and the horse, * * * the world."
Wang Dao is proficient in Weiqi and likes to play Weiqi at home with his sons Wang Yue and Wang Tianxia. "Biography of Wang Dao in the Book of Jin" says: "A guide loves music, but he is weak in crown and high in reputation. The guide tasted chess, argued for the way, and said with a smile, "If you do something, you will be evil! ! "... Tian Zi Jingyu, ... multi-skilled, good at chess, ZTE first.
It is written that Wang Dao once played chess with his son Wang Yue at home and worked hard for the change of the chess game. After the game, Wang Dao's interest continued unabated. He smiled and discussed the fun: "black and white chess is like a melon vine, which is really fun."
Wang Dao's other son, Wang Tian, was respectful and versatile, especially good at playing Go, which reached the highest level in China during the revival of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Wang Fan's chess skills ranked Wang Dao in the fifth category, while Jiang Biao and Wang Tian also called ZTE the first category. In Shi Shuo Xin Yu, the story of Wang Dao playing chess with Jiang Biao is recorded: "Jiang servant shoots young, and Prime Minister Wang Zhao plays chess. The hand of the king is not as good as two promises, but you should look at the enemy as much as possible. The river won't flow down immediately. Wang Yue: Why not? Jiang Yue: I'm afraid not. A guest said: This little play is not evil. Wang Xu raised his hand and said, "Go is not the only way to win at this age. "
Jiang Biao, a young man, can let Wang Dao have more than two children. Wang Dao deliberately asked to get off first, but Jiang Biao refused. The young man said the reason without fear: you can't get off the bus. Some people say that the child is really good at chess. Wang Dao said meaningfully that he is not only good at chess. In a hierarchical era, Wang Dao didn't care that a child dared to do this to the current prime minister. He praised him instead. Later, Jiang Biao really became a useful material, and later served as the official department minister.
Let me introduce Xie An again.
The most famous victory in Xie 'an's history was the Battle of Feishui. "The Book of Jin Xie An Biography" has a very incisive record of this battle:
After the establishment, the number of people was millions, second only to Huai Fei, and the capital was shocked. Jiaan conquered the viceroy. When Xuanjin asked, Anyi was fearless and replied, "I have another purpose." Then I became silent. Xuan was silent, which made Zhang Xuan ask again. An Sui ordered him to be driven out of the villa, and when friends and relatives gathered together, he gambled with the consolation device in the villa. An Changqi is not as good as metaphysics. If you are afraid of the sun, you will be invincible as an opponent. An Gu said to his nephew Tan Yang, "I beg you with my villa." An Sui cruising, it is still night, which means that the generals have been given responsibilities. Xuan and others are all broken, and there are posts. An Fang plays chess with guests and puts it on the bed while reading, but he is not happy, and so is chess. When the guest asked, Xu replied, "My child broke the thief." I'm so happy that I don't feel like losing my teeth. It's so melodramatic.
The following is the story of Xie An playing chess twice before and after the Battle of Feishui. When Fu Jian was in Enemy at the Gates, the whole capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in a state of panic, so the court appointed Xie An as the conquering governor, responsible for guarding against the enemy. When the two armies confronted each other, Xie Xuan, Xie An's nephew, came in to ask about the way to retreat from the enemy. Who knows that Xie An has nothing to do? He generally replied coldly, "It's already arranged." Leave him alone. Xie Xuan did not dare to ask more questions, so he had to ask Zhang Xuan to help him ask again. However, Xie An called friends and relatives to a mountain villa for a party, where he played Go with Xie Xuan and bet on the villa. Xie An's chess skills are usually not as good as Xie Xuan's, but on this day, Xie Xuan's mind is hard to concentrate on the chessboard, and he naturally loses to Xie An. This is a game of chess before the war.
The process of the Battle of Feishui will not be described here. After the Jin defeated Fu Jian, the situation was submitted to Xie An. At this time, Xie An is playing Go with the guests, silently watching the contents of the Battle Report, putting it aside, blanching, and playing chess as before. The guest asked urgently how the situation was, but Xie An remained irrelevant: "The boys defeated the enemy." However, this deliberate forbearance cannot hide the inner excitement. When crossing the threshold, Xie An gnashed her teeth but didn't know it.
A big war about the life and death of the country, under the interpretation of Xie An, turned out to be just two ordinary Go games. The history of history has turned this story into a beautiful talk, which cannot but be said to be some psychological qualities endowed by Go to historical giants.
Xie Wang family was the mainstay of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and its influence spread all over the south of the Yangtze River ruled by the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Dao was an official, a teacher and a prime minister, and experienced three emperors: Yuan, Ming and Cheng. Among the brothers, Wang Dun was guarding Wuchang, William Wang was guarding Yangzhou, and his younger brothers were Zhang Yu satrap, Huainan satrap and Jingzhou secretariat. The famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi was born in the Wang family, and his father Wang Kuang was the younger brother of Wang Dao. Xie An is the official to Taibao, and the commanders of Yang, Jiang, Jing, Si, Yu, Xu, Yan, Qing, Ji, You, He, Ning, Yi, Yong and Liang have almost all over the country. Brother Xie Yi, brother Xie Wan, nephews Xie Shi and Xie Xuan are all central and local officials. Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao, famous in the history of literature, both came from the Xie family.
According to historical records, there are Wang Dao, Wang Yue, Wang Tian, Wang Kun (Wang Dao's younger brother), Xie An, Xie Xuan, Xie Zhou (Xie An's great-grandson) and so on. Coupled with the influence of Wang Xiejia and his participation in Weiqi, there were naturally many people who liked Weiqi at that time.
In addition to the Wang Xie family, there are also many figures recorded in history. Such as, Wang, Zhi Dun, Yu Jian, Guo Boyou, Zuna, etc. Here is a brief introduction.
While guarding Wuchang, Yu Yi was disciplined and ordered to ban some game activities, "only allowed to go". Wuchang was an important town in Jiangzuo at that time. Yu Yi has done a lot of effective work to strengthen the rule, including banning some folk games, but it only opened a door for Go. Yu Yi himself is a Go lover, and he has not banned anyone within his jurisdiction. It was related to the preferences of the gentry at that time, but it undoubtedly promoted the development of Go objectively.
Zhi Dun was a famous monk at that time, and he liked Go. Zhi Dun became a monk at the age of 25, but he didn't obey the rules. He is good at associating with celebrities. Like the literati at that time, he likes to speak freely, and the word "hand talk" was created by him. Strangely, Zhi Dun became a famous monk by speaking clearly.
At that time, Xie Feng was appointed as the official minister, and once dreamed that his good friend Guo Boyou fell into the water and died. The next day, they went to Guo Boyou and played Go. Xie Feng then told Guo Boyou about the dream. Unexpectedly, Guo Boyou told him that it was strange that he had the same dream last night, and the dream was quickly verified.
At that time, Wang, who had the reputation of "walking alone in the East", called Weiqi "seclusion" and Zhi Dun called Weiqi "conversation".
Zu Ti's brother Zuna was also a famous Go lover, and died tragically on the battlefield due to lack of backup during the Zulu Northern Expedition. Zuna was deeply saddened and lived on chess all day. Wang Yin, a friend, suggested that he make a contribution or write a book to realize his ideal. Zuna said, "Your idea is very good, but I don't have the ability." Forbearance and self-knowledge.
When Xie Hongwei was playing chess with a friend, his opponent attacked his hamstring in the southwest corner without knowing it. A chess player chanted, "The southwest wind is tight, and I'm afraid it will capsize." Like slang, my friend suddenly became alert and made up for it. After the defeat, Xie Hongwei was very angry and threw the chess pieces to the ground.
All kinds of stories, to name a few. The prosperous game style in the Eastern Jin Dynasty gave birth to works devoted to recording gamers. Among them, the most famous chess expert is Wang Fan mentioned above. Sui Shu Jing Ji Zhi contains one volume of Nine Kinds of Chess Sequences by Wang Fan, and the Records of Literature and Art in the New Tang Dynasty contains five volumes of Chess Manual by Wang Fan. It can be seen how many people were recorded at that time. "Chess" has also become a summary of the development of Go. On the basis of the Three Kingdoms, Weiqi in the Jin Dynasty had a very obvious prosperous trend, and finally in the subsequent Southern and Northern Dynasties, it pushed the development of Weiqi to the first golden age in the history of Weiqi.
