Chapter 270: Chess is like life
"I hope so. Ou Lingtian replied.
"Chess Saint" Ji Jingrui officially worshiped Ou Lingtian as a teacher, the apprenticeship ceremony was very solemn, when Ji Jingrui knelt down and shouted softly: "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." At that time, Ou Ling naΓ―ve felt like a world away, Ji Jingrui looked very much like his deceased wife Jiang Xueliu, younger and more beautiful than her, and full of youthful vitality.
"Snow willow dance, phoenix and dragon frightened", Ou Lingtian saw the shadow of his deceased wife on Ji Jingrui's body, and couldn't help but be overshadowed, Lin Feilan saw it on the side, and felt very sad, and came up to persuade him: "Brother Ou, people can't be resurrected after death, you should be stronger than before now." β
Ou Lingtian nodded.
Ou Lingtian didn't expect that his newly recruited apprentice Ji Jingrui would first defeat him on the chessboard, and he would be convinced to kill him.
The chess pieces used by Ji Jingrui are very special, the 32 chess pieces are made of copper, which are filled with lead, and they are heavy in their hands, and they are heavy in their hands, and they are heavy in the woods, and the "chess saint" Ji Jingrui shoots out this kind of chess characters, which are heavy and fast, if it weren't for Shen Mengrui's outstanding martial arts, ordinary people would have been hit to see Lord Yama.
The copper chess piece has become Ji Jingrui's unique secret weapon, which is usually used to play games, and it has become a weapon at critical moments, so when Ou Lingtian picked up the chess piece, he was secretly surprised, and this beautiful woman in front of him was definitely not an idle person, and she couldn't be underestimated.
Xiangqi has a long history in China, and at the end of the Warring States Period, a kind of "Liubo" chess with six pieces per side was popular. In the Tang Dynasty, there were some changes in chess, and there were only four types of chess in the Song Dynasty, such as "generals, horses, rooks, and pawns", and in the Song Dynasty, Chinese chess was basically stereotyped, in addition to the addition of cannons due to the invention of gunpowder, scholars and elephants were also added.
The Song Dynasty's Shilin Guangji records the earliest chess score that can be seen in China. There are many chess celebrities in history, such as Li Qingzhao, Ouyang Xiu and others are both literati and chess masters, and it is worth mentioning Wen Tianxiang, a national hero in the Southern Song Dynasty. People only know the "Song of Righteousness" and the sonorous sentence "Who has not died in life since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of the sweat", but few people know that he is also a chess expert with a very superb chess skills.
Wen Tianxiang is based on the principle of "winning the game of action, the more negative the more happy, forgetting the morning and twilight". The poem reveals many times the strong feelings of the object chess, "The guest does not have to be in the cage, I love nothing like an orange." Wen Tianxiang is also an expert in arranging the game. After being captured, he still did not forget his love for chess, and he had carefully made more than 40 chess games, but unfortunately only one game of "Riding Alone and Seeing the Captive" has been handed down. It is not difficult to see from the way this bureau moves that the idea is wonderful, not only condenses wisdom, but also shines with the author's brave, tenacious and fearless spirit that is not afraid of sacrifice.
During the Ming Dynasty, the ban on chess during the Ming Dynasty Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang did not re-emerge until the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson Zhu Gaochi often played chess with his chamberlain when he was the prince, and he also sang poems and harmony with Zeng Zidi, the champion at that time, on the theme of chess.
At that time, the champion Zeng Ziqi's poem was written like this, the two armies set up two battalions against the enemy, and they decided to die by luck. Thousands of miles of frontier are relaxed, and a river wave moves the golden soldiers. Yu Ji sang and danced sadly, and forced the flag to Chucheng. After all the plans are exhausted, the pine shade and flowers are full of chessboards.
In ancient times, the game of chess was compared to the battle between two armies, and it was not unreasonable to sit on the luck of the gods to decide life and death, "the river boundary is three points wide, and the wisdom is deep", and playing chess is a battle of wit, "chess is like a formation, and ideas are like soldiers", which is not unreasonable.
What is the fundamental strategy for playing chess? Chess proverbs say that "the soldier is swift and preemptively enters the game"; the word "first" is emphasized in chess, and the chess proverb has "abandon the son to compete for the first," "it is better to lose a horse than to lose the first," and "the first to win is the one who wins the first to win, and the one who loses the first to lose the first to lose."
After setting up the chess pieces, the "Chess Saint" Ji Jingrui looked at Ou Lingtian with a smile, and Ou Lingtian saw naughtiness and curiosity on her face. Ou Lingtian's chess was learned from his father Ou Zhixiong, Ou Zhixiong played a good hand of chess, and the offensive was rapid, fierce and unhesitating, with a magnificent momentum, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, unstoppable. Ou Lingtian was short-tempered, and as soon as he lost, Ou Zhixiong said to him: "The highest state of struggle is the battle of intelligence, and the so-called life is like chess, and chess is like life." The black and white world is all-encompassing. Chess should be played step by step, and people should take step by step. Those who know how to play chess can also understand the complex relationship between chess and life. β
Ou Lingtian didn't understand, he was ignorant, but his father's last sentence moved him: "Playing chess can train you to look at the overall situation, have the overall situation in mind, be far-sighted, take precautions, and defeat yourself is to defeat others, and only by defeating yourself can you grasp yourself." Make a great future for yourself. β
