Zhang Lu's "Miscellaneous Album" No. 3, "Shangshan Sihao", 31 .6cm high, 59 .6cm wide, colored on paper, now in the Shanghai Museum.
Emperor Xiao Daocheng of Qi (r. 479 – 483 CE), courtesy name Shaobo, was a minor general and the 24th grandson of Xiao He of the Western Han Dynasty. When he was young, he was deep and generous, generous and frugal, and moody and colorless. Daocheng is handsome, has a peculiar style, has a jaw neck like a dragon, and is covered in scales.
Emperor Gao was the most frugal emperor in history, and after he ascended the throne, he did not have fine ornaments in his imperial clothes; the luxury ornaments such as jade on the dragon robe of the Liu Song Emperor, which Emperor Gao believed were smashed by the edict of the National Fortune Changxing, the bronze ornaments of the harem utensils were changed to iron ornaments; the yellow gauze tents were applied in the inner temple; the palace people wore purple leather shoes; and the canopy was changed to iron nails except for the golden flower claws.
Emperor Gao often said: "Rule the world for ten years, and make gold and soil at the same price."
Although Emperor Gao was in danger, he did not spend any money. Erudite and good at literature, Gongcao Lishu, chess art for the second product. Southern Qi ministers Xiao Ziliang, Liu Shilong, xiao Huiji, etc. were all masters of Go, and their chess skills were about three pins.
Emperor Gao's book of good deeds, and his ascension to the throne, were very good. After gambling with the wang monk, he said: "Who is the first?" The "Right Book" is the first, and His Majesty is also the first. The emperor smiled and said, "Qing can be described as being good at self-scheming." ”
Or Emperor Yun asked, "How is my book like Qing?" He replied, "The subject is the first, the cursive is the second; His Majesty's cursive is the second, and the main script is the third." There is no third in the subject, and there is no first in his majesty. The emperor laughed and said, "Qing Shan is a word; but there is a way in the world, and Qiu is not with Yi Ye." ”
Once, Emperor Qi Gao watched Wang Kang and Chu Sizhuang play chess. Wang Kang is a chess player, nicknamed "Thousand Mile Leopard", And QuickSi. The chess skill is slightly higher than Chu Sizhuang, the chess thinking is agile, the fast knife is chaotic, and the beat is like flying; Chu Sizhuang is a erpin chess player, nicknamed "Doctor Of Calculation", which is coincidentally late. The chess path is exquisite, the calculation is far-reaching, and the long test is good.
On this day, Dr. Suan encountered the Thousand Mile Leopard, and Chu Sizhuang's chess played more slowly. Emperor Qi Gao watched them for a game, from early morning to dusk, the chess game was actually still in the layout stage.
Emperor Gao could not sit still at this time and drove back to the palace. Because he was worried about the results of the chess game, he ordered two young eunuchs to run back and forth to report the progress of the chess game.
This game of chess ended at the fifth change, Wang Kang had already fallen asleep, and Chu Sizhuang was still picking up the lamp to study.
World's cloud: The reason why Chu Sizhuang's chess quality is high, because it has been used for a long time, and people can't be right.
Emperor Qi Gao hurried back to the palace, not because he was tired and went back to bed in the palace, but to return to the palace to fulfill his agreement with the great general Zhou Fu to play chess.
In the chess game, Emperor Gao made a mistake and wanted to regret the game, and Zhou Fu pressed Emperor Gao's hand and did not allow repentance. The two did not look like monarchs, but like old friends.
In history, there have been many cases of monarchs playing chess without etiquette.
Wang Ji, the second son of King Hun of Jin, was a martial artist. There are few talents, handsome words, and excellent tricks. The style is heroic, the air cover is temporary, good at riding and shooting, and the courage is unique.
Wang Wuzi and Emperor Wu of Jin played chess, and their hands were in chaos, and there was a loss of etiquette among the monarchs, and Emperor Wu of Jin did not think much of this.
However, Sun Hao, who was watching chess next to him, could not look at it and accused Wang Wuzi, who was not only not afraid but also quarreled with him.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Wu Guo's Go was the most prosperous, the most chess players played chess, the highest level of Go, and there were twenty-four games of chess scores wu tu passed down.
Sun Cezhao Lü Fan Yi's chess chart is published in the Song Dynasty Go work "Forget Worry QingLe Collection", and Sun Hao is also good at Go.
The Tang Dynasty man Du Mu has a poem: Don't go after the bamboo window on a snowy night, a lamp covers Wu Tu.
Sun Hao was watching chess next to him, and Wuzi asked Sun Guiming, "Why is it good to peel people's skin?" Hao Yue: "Whoever sees no reason for the king, then peel it off."
When Wang Ji and Emperor Wu of Jin played chess, they often stretched their feet to play chess, so Hao hao sneered.
Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty commanded King Wuzi to play chess, which is published in the Song Dynasty Go work "Forgetting Worries and Qingle Collection".
Liu Shilong (442 – 491 CE), courtesy name Yanxu, was a native of Xie County, Hedong County (present-day Yongji, Shanxi), and chancellor of the Song and Qi dynasties during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Liu Shilong sexually dabbled in hunting, and QiQuan Taizu borrowed the Secret Cabinet Book, and the upper quasi-two thousand volumes.
Liu Shilong made little meritorious name, was good at playing, and was late in talking about righteousness and self-employment. Good at playing the piano, drums, its sound is like a beautiful jade striking, clear, round, pleasant, reverberating, known as Liu Gong Shuangzhuo, for the first of the soldiers.
Shi Long often said: "Ma Hammer is the first, Qing Tan is the second, and playing the piano is the third." "In the dynasty, the curtain is not political, the curtain is drum and the piano, the wind is far away, and it is very well-known in the world." Yongming died in the ninth year, and was given to Sikong and Zhongwu.
Xiao Ziliang (萧子良) (460– 494 CE), courtesy name Yunying, was a native of Nanlanling (present-day Wujin, Jiangsu) and the second son of Emperor Xiao Zhao of Qiwu, who was the Prince of Fengjingling.
Xiao Ziliang rarely has a clean and virtuous, a good scholar, the world is not doubtful, and the world's talents and learning are all gathered. The son is good and does beautiful things, and the summer moon arrives, and he writes culture and education for the sake of melon and sweet fruit.
During the reign of Southern Qi Yong, Xiao Ziliang opened the West Residence and recruited talents. Lanling XiaoYan (Emperor Wu of Liang), Xiao Chen, Wu Xing Shen Yue, Lang Evil Wang Rong, Chen Jun's Xie Zhen, Nanxiang Fan Yun, Le'an Renfang, Wu Jun's Lu Qian, and other eight talents traveled together to gather around king Jingling, calling them "Eight Friends of Jingling (Xidi)".
Xiao Zi was a famous Go minister in Southern Qi.
Emperor Gao's eldest son, Xiao Zhao, was emperor Wu of Qi (r. 483– 494 CE).
Emperor Wu of Qi also set up the rank of chess player, with King Jingling as the capital of the Go prefecture Dazhongzheng, Wang Kang as a chess player, and Chu Sizhuang as a second-pin chess player, and the two entered the matter. Prince Liang of The Imperial Household made Xiao Huiji in charge.
Xiao Ye, king of Wuling, was the fifth son of Emperor Xiao Of Qi, the fifth son of Emperor Xiao Daocheng of Qi.
Xiao Ye was born filial piety, and his birth mother Luo Shi, from Xiao Daocheng in Huaiyin, was condemned for his sins. Shi Ye was four years old, and he was no different from an adult, vomiting blood every time he mourned.
Dao Cheng said that the eldest son, Xiao Zhao, said: "The nature of samadhi is like this, I am afraid that it will not be good, and Ru can live with it, and every time you are comforted." It can be seen that Xiao Ye is deeply loved by his father.
Although Daocheng was Fang Bo, his family was very poor, and his sons studied without paper and pencil. Ye is rigid and vigorous, often drawing words in the air and drawing palms with his fingers, and practicing the seal method. When he was young, he did not have a chess game, but he broke the di di into a piece, thought it was a chess game, pointed out the action, and became a famous product.
Xiao Ye was frank and frank, and he often played chess with Xiao Ziliang, the king of Jinling, before Emperor Wu. Every time Xiao Ye showed no mercy, Zi Liang was great north, his face was red, and he retreated when he was finished.
Yuzhang Wang Ling said: "Ru and Situ talked by hand, so when Xiao Xiang pushed and gave way." Persuade Xiao Ye to give Zi Liang a little face, and win small wins. Xiao Ye replied, "Since Ye stood up, he has not tasted a single day of nonsense." This means that he has never lied in his life, let alone played fake chess.
Xiao Huiji, a native of Lanling, was favored by Liu Yigong, the King of Jiangxia, when he was young, married the daughter of Yigong, and was the inner history of Wuling during the Southern Dynasty Song Ming Emperor.
Huiji Gong Lishu, good at Go, Taizu Xiao Daocheng and the love of good, early encounter.
Since the Southern Dynasty Song Dynasty, there have been few good people in the sound of the song, more Zheng Wei is obscene, and there are few good people in the sound of the music. Huiji interprets the rhythm, especially the Wei Sanzu song and the "Xianghe Song", each play, the bystanders can not be more than appreciative.
There were not many people playing chess in the Northern Dynasty, but there was no shortage of Yilin masters. When Tuoba Yuanhong , emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty ( reigned 471 – 500 AD ) had a chess player named Fan Ning'er , he was extremely skilled.
Fan Ning'er once accompanied Li Biao on an envoy to the Southern Dynasty to meet Emperor Qiwu, and it was when Fan Ning'er and Wang Kang played a game, and Fan Ning'er defeated Wang Kang and returned.
Whether Fan Ning'er's chess strength is better than Wang Kang's, posterity believes that the chess strength of the two chess players is between Bo Zhong, and both are a generation of Go masters.
Wang Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty said in his book "Yi Qing": "Resisting the heavy and Ning Weiye, Ning Er has the heart to resist, and the resistance has no heart to treat Ning Er, just like Sima Zhongdazhi and Zhuge Kong Mingye, and this game of ears is not determined."
Wang Kang's reputation is outside, Fan Ning'er is in the dark, and Ning Er has made full preparations for this game, and the victory or defeat of a game of chess cannot determine the level of chess skills of the two. The chess skills of the two can be described as Sima Yi is better than Zhuge Liang, at the same level, and both are chess players.
Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty produced a go master, according to the "Records of Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties": Northern Qi Yang Zihua, known as the painting saint in the world; sometimes there was a prince who was good at chess and the gods, and the number was two absolute. Prince Chong wrote the "Chess Posture" ten. The Book of Sui - The Book of Classics is when Northern Yan had Luo Teng, the character Shulong, exhausted chess, and walked alone at that time. In Russia, Beiping has a music copy, with few words, and is on a par with Roten.
Northern Wei Dynasty ancestor Tuoba Tao (reigned 424 AD – 452 AD) Shanyi. Once Shizu and Liu Shu went to play, the minister Gu Bi wanted to play the matter, and Shizu concentrated and turned a deaf ear.
Gu Yi sat for a long time and did not receive any complaints. Nai got up and left his seat, grabbed Liu Shu's head in front of Shizu, pulled him out of bed, slapped his ear with his hand, and beat his back with his fist: "The court is not cured, and the crime of Shi'er is true!" Shizu lost his color and put on a chess game: "If you don't listen to the music, you are really degenerating, what is the sin of the tree?" Leave it alone! ”
Shizuqi Gu bow is straight and straight, and he plays it.
Hou GuBi was exempted from the crown and impeached himself.
Shizu enlightened: "Qing Qi's crown shoes." What is the crime of the secretary? From now on, those who benefit the society and benefit the country and the people, although they have repeatedly created a lot of trouble, the secretary of state has done nothing for it and has nothing to worry about. ”
Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, loved Go, that is, at the beginning of his reign, he often played Go with his favorite courtiers.
One day, the Hou Lord and the attendants played chess, and the Minister Xiao Yu entered the palace, saw the Hou Lord playing chess, was furious, and threw the chess game to the ground.
The Lord was horrified and asked, "Do you want to emulate Wei Zheng evil?" Yu replied, "If the subject is not Wei Zheng, then His Majesty is not Emperor Taizong." ”
The Hou Lord immediately understood Xiao Yu's intention not to mislead the country with chess, and the Hou Lord dismissed the game for this reason.
After the death of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Xiao Yu returned to his hometown with an old age, Du Men lived for several years, and lived for more than seventy years.

Northern Qi Huangmen waiter Yan Zitui, advising people not to be too confused when playing chess. "Yan's Family Training - Miscellaneous Arts" Yun: "Go has the purpose of sitting and hiding, which is quite elegant, but it is difficult to be sad and lose a lot, and it is not often also."
Although there were fewer people playing chess in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there were no famous people who compiled chess books, and there was the Dunhuang Chess Classic. The manuscript was found in the stone chamber of Dunhuang in China during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty.
The Dunhuang Chess Classic, originally known as the Book of Chess, is now in the collection of the British Museum in London. The Dunhuang Chess Classic, with its original head damaged, is a shining pearl in the treasure house of Go history.
The original volume of the Dunhuang Chess Classic should be eight, and now there are seven and a half surviving chapters, including: the anonymous chapter (the mutilated half), the enticing chapter, the potential use chapter, the elephant name chapter, the interpretation of the map posture, the chess system chapter, the Ministry Xiang chapter, the chess disease law chapter, and the Liangwu Emperor
