Chapter 35: Closed-door cultivation
Guanyin and the eldest grandson Zhan sat down in front of the chessboard.
Eldest Sun Zhan said, "I'll let you have three sons." ”
Guanyin said: "Don't let you, I'll just hold the black." ”
After the start, Guanyin still followed the routine when playing chess with Changsun Qing, and adopted the method of hand-to-hand combat.
Changsun Zhan is a veteran of Go who has been in battle for a long time, and basically ignores the fight of Guanyin, only occasionally responds, and then chooses the key point to fall down.
When Guanyin had the advantage in one corner, and then looked at the entire chessboard, he found that it was difficult for him to find a suitable place to fall, and he had been firmly grasped by Changsun Zhan.
Guanyin saw that the general trend was gone, so she took the initiative to admit defeat and said: "You win this plan." ”
Eldest Sun Zhan laughed in his heart: "It's obvious that I won, how can I say that I won?" ”
Then go down, Guanyin also followed the example of the eldest grandson Zhan and no longer fought with him.
She also went up and down a few corners first, but she didn't understand why she was doing this.
As soon as he fell into his son, the eldest grandson Zhan was next to him.
After a while, Guanyin's black chess pieces were already scattered, and they couldn't care about each other.
She knew she was going to lose again.
After playing game after game like this, Guanyin was defeated repeatedly.
She tried to fight against Changsun Zhan, but every time she returned in vain.
Although Guanyin had no hope of winning every time, she gradually realized that she had to occupy the corner first, and then the edge, and her chess pieces should be able to echo each other.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Guanyin lost five games in a row.
Eldest Sun Zhan was a little impatient to win.
Although Guanyin is changing the law every time, there is no rule at all.
In the eyes of Changsun Zhan, it was a mess, but looking at Guanyin's way of losing, she seemed to be enjoying it.
Seeing that Guanyin had no intention of stopping, the eldest grandson Zhan said, "Little aunt, it's time for us to go back to dinner." ”
Guanyin seemed to be unsatisfied, and said, "Then let's have lunch and go down in the afternoon." ”
The eldest grandson Zhan was afraid that he would be entangled by Guanyin again, so he hurriedly said:
"I haven't written the big characters assigned by Mr. yet, if I can't finish it, Mr. will play the board tomorrow."
Guanyin saw that he said pitifully, so she said:
"Then let's go down another day, and then I'll let Fengshu call you, you have to come over."
The eldest grandson Zhan secretly complained, but this time he let the little ghost entangle, and it was only a while to drag it out.
I had to say, "Okay, I'll definitely come over then." ”
------
Gao Qiuniang saw Guanyin and the four of them coming back from outside, and found Guanyin very happy, so she asked, "Did you find someone to play chess?" Did you win? ”
Guanyin said: "I only won one game against Ah Qing, and I lost five games with Ah Zhan." ”
Gao Qiuniang said strangely: "I lost all five games, how can I still look very happy?" ”
Guanyin said: "Ah Zhan promised to play chess with me in the future." ”
Gao Qiuniang said: "I promised to play chess with you, what is there to be happy about?" Wouldn't you still have to lose? ”
Guanyin said: "What's there to be afraid of losing, I just want to see how Ah Zhan plays chess." ”
It was the first time Gao Qiuniang had met someone who was not afraid of losing in chess, and she seemed to enjoy this feeling, so she asked, "Don't you want to win?" ”
Guanyin said: "Who doesn't want to win when they play chess?" But how can you win without learning or practicing? ”
Gao Qiuniang looked at Guanyin with a smile and said, "Do you really want to win chess?" I have a way for you to win Ah Zhan. ”
As soon as she heard her mother say that there was a way for her to win Changsun Zhan, Guanyin was overjoyed, and she hugged Gao Qiuniang's neck and had to teach her immediately.
Gao Qiuniang said: "You sit down and listen carefully to what I tell you." ”
Guanyin sat quietly, looking at Gao Qiuniang expectantly, wondering if her mother had any stunts, she could learn them at once, and she could defeat Changsun Zhan immediately.
Gao Qiuniang saw through her mind and said: "There is no shortcut to learning anything, you have to train hard, you have to be able to endure hardships, you will succeed in learning, if you are willing to endure hardships, I will teach you." ”
Guanyin said: "A-maid is not afraid of hardship, A-Niang, you can teach me." ”
Gao Qiuniang said: "To learn Go, you must first memorize the score, and you must first see how the masters in the previous life played chess." ”
"After you memorize the game, you can study every move he makes, why he plays this way, and how the situation will change if he doesn't play this way."
"The more you study the game, the more experience you will learn from your predecessors. But playing chess is very boring, and you have to endure loneliness. ”
Guanyin was already in a state of obsession with Go, and she couldn't wait for her mother to take out the chess game immediately, for fear that Gao Qiuniang would change her mind, so she hurriedly said: "A-Niang, don't worry, A-Wan will study hard." ”
Gao Qiuniang saw Guanyin's impatient appearance and said:
"I have "Hantu Thirteen Potentials", you take it and play it with Xin'er, you have to memorize it all within a month, and I will tell you why they are like this."
As she spoke, she walked to a box at the head of the bed, opened the box and found a book, handed it to Guanyin, and explained:
"You have to cherish it, you can't get dirty or rotten."
Guanyin carefully took the chess game, turned the first page, and saw that the chessboard was drawn on it, and the chessboard was painted with black and white chess pieces, and the chess pieces were marked with numbers, and the numbers indicated the order of the pieces.
------
From that day on, playing chess has become a constant homework for Guanyin every day.
Guanyin was not enlightened and didn't know how to read, so Ding Niangzi instructed Guanyin and Xin'er to swing one by one according to the numbers on the chess game, and when the two of them understood the meaning of those numbers, they let them put them by themselves.
For children who practice playing music for the first time, it is difficult to understand the purpose and intention of each chess player by relying on their own understanding.
Every time she put one, Guanyin would ask Ding Niangzi why she did this.
Ding Niangzi briefly talked about the general intention of the chess player's dismissal.
She couldn't explain in detail, if she explained in too much detail, first, the two of them might not understand, and second, there were many complex changes involved.
A game of chess can not be finished in a month.
Therefore, notation is like a child reciting an ancient poem, and there is no need to understand the meaning of each sentence of the poem. After letting him memorize it, with a little guidance from an adult, the child will be able to understand the gist of the poem.
Playing chess is like writing poetry, even if a child can recite a hundred poems skillfully, but let him write one by himself, he may not be able to write it. In order to write a poem, it is necessary to know more about the techniques and be able to use them.
To learn to play Go, you must first understand what Go is, understand the process of a game from beginning to end, and play music is a process of understanding Go at the beginning.
Ding Niangzi didn't explain as much as possible, so she asked Guanyin and Xin'er to swing their pieces according to the order of the chess game without seeking to understand it, and remember the order of each piece.
Guanyin asked why, and then gave a reason for this.
Regardless of whether the understanding is correct or not, but the children are connected by ideas, so that the memory is faster.
Xin'er, on the other hand, relies on rote memorization, and it is a little difficult to remember the score.
A chess game was placed five or six times by two people according to the book, and Guanyin had already remembered it, and Xin'er had to put it according to the book.
After memorizing the whole game of chess, Guanyin didn't have to read the book anymore, which gave her more time to think, and in the following time, she was no longer memorizing chess, but studying the intention of playing each move.
After spending the morning, Xin'er still couldn't fully memorize a game of chess.
In the afternoon, Guanyin made a suggestion to Ding Niangzi, she was black in the morning, and she was white in the afternoon.
Ding Niangzi thought, anyway, it's notation, is there any difference between black and white? With Guanyin, let her be white in the afternoon.
But insisting on black and holding white gives Guanyin a different feeling.
In the morning, black is played, followed by the idea of playing black.
In the afternoon, he played white, but he followed the idea of playing white.
She suddenly found that it was interesting to change the role of the chess player to think, so that she had a deeper understanding of the entire chess path.
In the evening, Guanyin pestered Gao Qiuniang and asked her to explain the chess game.
Gao Qiuniang said to Guanyin: "Do you know what it means to be well-informed? Now is not the time to teach you chess, you have to memorize more scores, and by memorizing different scores, you will find that each score is played differently. ”
"Then compare the similarities and differences between different spectra, and then think about the changes, and then you can learn a lot."
Guanyin saw that her mother was unwilling to teach her chess, so she sat in front of the chessboard by herself, and put the chess game she had just memorized by herself, pondering while posing.
Looking at Guanyin's serious appearance, Gao Qiuniang was very surprised, it was the first time she had seen a child so obsessed with playing chess.
When the eldest grandson Wuji started to learn chess, he was only willing to sit down after coaxing.
But Guanyin is loved from the bottom of her heart, and she wants to learn and want to learn.
Gao Qiuniang also couldn't understand where Guanyin's motivation to learn chess came from.
In this way, day after day, Guanyin spent her time in front of the chessboard.
Every day is to review the old score, learn the new score, and then ponder your own position at night.
It is difficult for ordinary children to maintain concentration for a long time, but Guanyin can sit for a day.
Gao Qiuniang was a little worried, if she continued like this, Guanyin's body would not be able to stand it.
She discussed with Ding Niangzi that she should slow down the pace of playing chess, spare more time, and lead Guanyin to the garden to play.
Even in the garden, Guanyin's mind is often immersed in the chess game.
Gao Qiuniang tried to find a way to do some games that children liked, and pulled Guanyin's thoughts out of the chess game as much as possible.
In less than a month, Guanyin has memorized all the chess games of "Hantu Thirteen Potentials".
Gao Qiuniang and Ding Niangzi discussed, what should I do next?
Guanyin is like this, and her mind is full of Go every day, which is not a solution.
In the past month, she has obviously talked a lot less, and her innocent and cheerful laughter has been missing in the yard.
Gao Qiuniang said to Ding Niangzi with a heavy heart: "I think I need to let Ah Wan do something else and let her change her mind." ”
Ding Niangzi said: "Is it to teach her to read and write, or to play the piano, can you share her heart?" ”
