How to describe the beauty of Go?

In ancient times, "chess" only refers to "Go" among the four talents of "Qin, Chess, Painting and Calligraphy", which has always been a compulsory course for literati's cultivation.

"Monks in the mountains play chess, and bamboo is bright on the chessboard, and no one sees it. When I heard it, I heard the sound. " (Bai Juyi) The unique etiquette rules of Go make both players appear gentle. Sitting in front of the chess table, away from the noise, immersed in the chess game, comfortable, quiet, detached and refined. The long-term edification of this atmosphere nourishes the player's temperament and generosity.

The game is over, the outcome is decided, but both sides will start again. "When you don't see anyone, you will hear the sound of playing chess. If you win, you will be happy. If you lose, you will be happy." (Su Dongpo) shows the generosity of the player.

"I am beautiful because of Go." Umezawa Yukari, a beautiful Japanese chess player, with her charming smile, elegant temperament and beautiful explanation of Go, makes people realize the beauty of chess, people and the integration of chess and people.

"Philosophical Beauty" of Go

Go, like life, always brings people philosophical thinking. "It is better to abandon several children than to lose one child first", which shows that we should strive for the initiative when things happen; The first tactic in "Ten Tactics of Go" is "Don't be greedy to win", which shows the harm of "greed", combining motion and static, advancing and retreating properly, changing gains and losses, and combining attack and defense. Weiqi is full of dialectical thinking. Weiqi pays special attention to the overall situation, regardless of the length of a day or the gains and losses of a place. Don't be discouraged when encountering setbacks; If you have a temporary advantage, you cannot underestimate your enemy. You should always keep the overall situation in mind and look to the future. "You have to look forward", and the last laugh is winning or losing.
