Chapter 50: Talking about Chess
"What is this kid carrying?"
Not all people have read the book, and not all the people who have read the book have read the "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess", seeing what Tan Xiaotian was carrying seriously, people were very curious and asked.
"The Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess," Yuan Lang introduced to Mrs. Liu.
"The Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess? What is that? Old lady Liu asked.
"Oh, the "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess" is rumored to be written by Zhang Xi, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, is a systematic exposition and summary of the theoretical experience of Go in the past dynasties, a total of thirteen articles, namely, the discussion of the game, the calculation of the article, the power of public opinion, the battle chapter, the virtual and real chapter, the self-knowledge article, the examination of the game, the degree of affection, the oblique article, the hole micro article, the number of articles, the character chapter, the miscellaneous chapter, the wonderful and profound insights, respected by the chess scholars of the past dynasties, every day is now the first article in the "Thirteen Articles of the Book of Chess" in the "discussion of the game".
"Oh, I see. When I was young, I went out to do business, and I often saw someone playing a game, I felt quite elegant, and I also wanted to learn, but unfortunately I was riddled with mundane things at that time, and my mind was full of calculations about the purchase and shipment, buying and selling business, and I felt that there was a sense of plaything discouragement, and I didn't do my job, so I didn't learn in the end. Old lady Liu sighed.
"Hehe, what the old lady said is right, the game is a game of benevolence, wisdom and wisdom, each is different. To the novel, it is just a game, to say that you can understand the truth of living in the world, in the preface of the "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess" there is a discussion in this regard, "Biography" said:
'Hungry all day long, without any intentions, there is no gambler? Huan Tan's "New Treatise" said: "There is a game of Go in the world, or it is said that the soldiers are far away from it, and they are surrounded by the meeting, so they become victorious in the Tao." In the middle, it is necessary to cover each other, and to seek profit by fighting, so the victory or defeat is doubtful, and it is necessary to count to guard the border with the rules, and tend to do it, so as to be born in a small land. Spring and autumn down, generation has its own people. The way of playing chess has always been asked. The key to victory and defeat today is divided into thirteen articles, and those who are in harmony with the art of war are also attached to Zhongyuner. Because of the winning and losing of Go, it does have a bit of a gambling tinge, so that some people regard it as the same gambling game as Liubo, but it would be a big mistake to regard it as gambling because of this. According to the "Shiben", Go was created by Yao, and Jin Zhanghua also said in the "Naturalist Chronicles", "Shun is foolish with his sons, so he pretends to play Go to teach him." 'Yao, Shun is a sage and sage, if Go is really equivalent to gambling, how can the two of them use Go as their own heirs to open up their intelligence? Yuan Lang explained with a smile - the so-called three sentences do not leave the bank, and his occupational disease has been committed again.
"Oh, I see, even saints like Yao and Shun teach their sons to learn Go, it seems that my knowledge is too shallow. Mr. Yuan taught the "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess" every day to imitate the sages, admire, admire. Old lady Liu praised repeatedly.
"Hehe, ashamed, ashamed, the old lady praised it falsely, it was not Yuan who intended to teach it by reciting the 'Treatise on the Bureau' every day, it was really a coincidence, and he did it unintentionally." Yuan Lang smiled modestly and told him what happened yesterday morning at the 'Learning Boundless' school, and heard that Old Lady Liu nodded again and again, and smiled.
"Haha, that's funny. But then again, Mr. Yuan seems to know a lot about Go, so he should be a master in the game world, right? Liu Wenxiong asked with a smile.
"Hehe, don't dare, don't dare, although Yuan Lang has studied the game for many years and is obsessed with this, but his talent is limited, he only knows a little about the skin, he has a lot of book knowledge, but his actual combat skills are not good, for example, it is like a storyteller in a teahouse, with thousands of troops in his mouth, heaven and earth, omnipotent, but he really went to the battlefield, and he didn't wait for the real knife and gun fight to begin, maybe he was scared of his legs first." Yuan Lang smiled and said modestly.
"Uh, wouldn't you? Mr. Yuan is very knowledgeable, rich in five cars, and very much within the reach of others, since he has studied the game of Go, how can he be so unbearable? Mr. Yuan is too humble. Liu Wenxiong said with a smile.
"Hehe, Boss Liu doesn't know how to play Go, so there will be some words, Go is easy to learn and difficult to master, the so-called easy to learn, is very easy to learn the rules of Go, people with normal intelligence can master the kung fu of a cup of tea, the so-called difficult to refine, it is very difficult to play well. Boss Liu is a businessman, in the words you know best, it is like doing business, everyone knows that doing business is low in and high out, low buy and high sell, as long as you can do this, the business will not lose money, but in practice, there are always people who can make money, and there are always people who will lose money. Of course, I know that talking about business in front of Boss Liu is a class axe, and doing business is by no means so simple, I just want to use this comparison to show that the study of Go theory is not the same as the actual combat of Go. Yuan Lang smiled, with a bit of self-deprecation in his smile.
"Uh, why?" Old lady Liu asked strangely - he knew that Yuan Lang was a very high-spirited person, although he was not the kind of person whose eyes were above the top, but it was difficult for him to be willing to live under others, and such a person had such an attitude when talking about Go, which was difficult not to make him curious.
"Heh, it's actually very simple to say, because of the lack of actual combat. Meilong Town is far away from the Central Plains, located in a remote area, culturally backward, there are very few people who can play chess, old lady, Boss Liu, you two can be called upper-class people in Meilong Town, but people like you can't play chess, let alone others? As far as I know, except for me, there are only Su Quan who can play Go in Meilong Town, and no one has to hone against him, and his own research has always been just research, and it has not been tested in actual combat, it is a silver-like pewter gun head, which is beautiful and beautiful, but it is just a look. Yuan Lang said with emotion.
It makes sense, it makes sense, no wonder Mr. Yuan just said that Go to the novel is a game, very much, you can understand the truth of being a person, I still think it is exaggerated, but after listening to the explanation, I feel that it is true, just like we do business, very young to the store apprentices to do chores, receive guests, accumulate experience, to a certain extent, can enter the next stage of learning, even so, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no mistakes. There is no pressure on paper, whether it is thinking or making decisions, it is easy to stay rational and make up your mind, but in practice, it will be affected by many unexpected factors, and the stakes are already at stake, and it is difficult to be calm. Old lady Liu agreed.
