In China's 5,000 years of splendid civilization, with the prosperity and development of culture, many skills with Chinese characteristics have emerged in the long river of history. For example, the four major ancient arts known for their elegance and elegance are the qinqi calligraphy and painting.
Among them, the classification of chess is varied, and the origin of chess originated from Qin, but with the development of things, the form of this literary and artistic activity has undergone great changes, thus gradually forming today's existing form of Go.
Since ancient times, the so-called local art of Go in China has been highly respected, and famous artists have flocked to it. Even during the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when Chinese culture was relatively decaying, China still had the greatest chess master in the world of Go, Wu Qingyuan, the first person in the chess world of the Republic of China.

In October of 1928, when the golden wind first blew, the docks of Dongdu Japan were bustling with people. At the time when staying in Japan became fashionable, the most eye-catching of which was a thin and handsome teenager, who was Wu Qingyuan, who was just emerging in the Chinese chess world.
Due to the chaotic situation at that time and the warlords and the people were not happy, Wu Qingyuan, who was superb in chess, was difficult to make a living under the circumstances at that time.
It was at this time that Kensaku Setsukoshi, the leader of the Japanese chess academy, went to China to meet a talented Go teenager who was strongly recommended by his friends, and it was Wu Qingyuan, who was called a genius by Japan at the age of fourteen.
After Witnessing Wu Qingyuan's match, Kensaku Setsukoshi was greatly shocked and commented on Wu Qingyuan, saying that he was the greatest chess saint of the Edo period.
Under the active operation of Kensaku Setsukoshi, Wu Qingyuan worshiped Setsukoshi Ken, who was a seven-dan chess player at that time, as a teacher, and went to Japan to study, learning his advanced chess skills that he admired as a temple.
When Wu Qingyuan embarked on a cruise ship to Japan, he began his life sweeping the Japanese chess world.
Of course, the process has not been smooth.
Even the genius chess saint also needs food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and after arriving in Japan, Wu Qingyuan first has to face the problem of life.
Fortunately, the problem was quickly solved, and because of his excellent talent for chess, Kichiro Okura, who was at the helm of the Okura chaebol at the time, gave him four times the monthly salary of a Japanese college student: two hundred yuan for living expenses.
Of course, this support is not unconditional, he asked Wu Qingyuan three years later to participate in the Japanese chess competition to evaluate the rank of the chess competition - the big hand.
After solving the problems of life, Wu Qingyuan began his battle for a foothold in the Japanese chess world.
In this duel on Go, Wu Qingyuan, as an unknown person, won the Honinfang Hideya, known as the "undefeated celebrity", under the premise of being given the second son, and for a time the Japanese chess world was in an uproar.
Where there is frustration, there is a triumph.
Witnessing Wu Qingyuan's superb skills, the Japanese Chess Academy awarded Wu Qingyuan the title of Three Dan Qili the following year, and his teacher Kensaku Setsukoshi and his patron Ōkura Kishichiro were overjoyed.
However, Wu Qingyuan, who was supposed to be a god all the way, cultivated for a year because of the weakness of his body after leaving his homeland, before he officially participated in the duan competition required by the sponsors.
Two years after arriving in Japan, Wu Qingyuan began his battle of chess strength, and all the way through the level, he grew to four chess strengths without disappointing expectations.
In Tokyo in 1931, the chill of early spring was unexpectedly faint.
To celebrate the departure of winter, the Tokyo Shimo Shimbun held a go tournament with a single-game knockout system as the rule, and invited famous chess players at that time to participate.
Among these chess players, there is a striking Chinese who is particularly prominent, he is Wu Qingyuan, a famous Japanese chess player in the chess world.
In this competition, Wu Qingyuan, whose chess strength was rated as four dan, unexpectedly lost eighteen consecutive people and won the first place in this chess competition.
For a time, Wu Qingyuan became famous in the Japanese chess industry. Since then, Wu Qingyuan has also sharply started his more than 20 years of sweeping Japanese Go players.
Later, his chess skills had unconsciously surpassed Setsukoshi Kensaku, and for the next eight years he fell out of the window and immersed himself in chess.
Eight years of asceticism took his chess skills to the next level, reaching the seven-dan chess strength recognized by the Japanese Chess Academy, which was extremely incredible in Japan at that time.
Because Wu Qingyuan lived in Japan as early as the age of fourteen, he has been influenced by Japanese culture and life in the years that are crucial in the formation of his character and behavior, and his words and deeds are no different from those of The Japanese.
Most Japanese people, because of their preconceived discrimination and contempt for their countrymen, behaved inconceivablely after learning of Wu Qingyuan's origin.
For a senior chess player rooted in China, he is dissatisfied and has no strength, which shows the high level of Wu Qingyuan's chess skills.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > second, the hill appears in the young, and the sharp edge comes out from here</h1>
After gaining the recognition of seven chess skills, he successfully became one of the top chess players and began to challenge the mountains that stood in his way to becoming the first person in the chess world.
In the duel of Go, there are many different forms, one of which is the most proof of the level of the player himself, and the one way that one-on-one lovers are fairer is juban.
The meaning of juban chess is that the two sides of the game play ten games in a row, and in these ten games, the person who wins the most games wins, so as to avoid the occurrence of accidental events, and it is also a great test of the true level of both sides.
In order to prove his strength to the greatest extent and confirm his own level, Wu Qingyuan began to challenge juban chess with many Japanese Go masters, and over the next sixteen years, he defeated all the players who played juban chess matches. With such remarkable achievements, Wu Qingyuan became the recognized first master of The Japanese Go community, and even many people who discriminated against him were beginning to look up to him.
During this period, he not only won the recognition of the Japan Go Association's Nine Dan Chess Beauty, but also won the first place in the strongest decisive battle many times, and the fame was actually worthy of the name. However, this pomp and circumstance did not last long.
In the days that followed, Wu Qingyuan not only missed many famous Japanese chess matches due to physical weakness and other reasons, but also suffered from tuberculosis after becoming famous.
In addition, he also had the misfortune of encountering a car accident, which also destroyed the body fighting in the chess world. As a last resort, he had to announce his retirement.
So, what is the origin of Wu Qingyuan's superb chess skills and his weak body from what happened in his youth?
First of all, Wu Qingyuan was born in fuzhou, and his ancestors were famous and wealthy, which also determined his own characteristics of being empty-eyed.
Later, Wu Qingyuan indulged in the world of chess and he paid even more attention to the world's affairs, but Wu Qingyuan, who came from a large family, only witnessed the glory of the family's sunset.
Shortly after his birth, the family and his family moved to Tianjin Wei to seek a foothold by their uncles within the clan.
Qingyuan's father was also good at chess, so Wu Qingyuan had a certain foundation for him early under his ears.
With the continuous decline of the family, the family has lived a life of food and hunger.
In this case, his father had to give up the integrity of the literati and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the time, and went in and out of the shogunate as a pilgrim who ran for his life. Later, Wu deteriorated, and the family once again moved to Beijing.
It was in the only remaining dilapidated courtyard in the capital that the young Wu Qingyuan witnessed the pain of his father's serious illness and the fall of his family.
Before Wu's father left the world with his lingering body and the attachment to his wife and children, he made the final arrangement for his three underage children to exert their last strength: among them, Wu Qingyuan's eldest brother later danced for the official long sleeve in the chaotic world, which was quite a fatherly style, and the second brother eventually followed the path pointed out by his father and became a writer who wrote for a living.
Having finished speaking, Father Wu pushed the box of chess pieces he cherished when he studied in Japan with his last strength in front of Wu Qingyuan.
During the years when the Wu family barely supported themselves by selling their accumulated wealth, the box of white jade chess pieces could be regarded as the last property of the Wu family.
After the long death of Wu's father, Wu Qingyuan was forced by life to survive on his budding chess skills.
At that time, among the children of the idle family, the habit of playing chess was popular. This is a kind of entertainment for people like them who have nothing to do, but for Wu Qingyuan, it is really a survival dependency.
Wu Qingyuan went to and from the home of the powerful every day, and his chess skills were pressing to a higher level with the pace of life.
He never lost in such a match, and gradually Wu Qingyuan's reputation as a go prodigy faded. Many chess lovers are happy to play with him to see the prodigy style, and his Go talent is also seen by more people.
During the time when Beiping was running for his life, Wu Qingyuan met the first nobleman in his life, Gu Shuiru, who was famous in the Go world at that time.
Gu Shuiru was a chess player with outstanding chess skills in the declining chess world at that time, and often went to the door of the powerful people who loved Go to play against him, including duan Qirui, the Anhui warlord of the Republic of China.
Duan Qirui was the de facto ruler of the Republic of China for a long time, and a prominent figure in the Beiyang Army who used things to gain power. He was an avid go player and often played chess while in power. Mr. Gu Shuiru naturally became the object of his game.
One day, Gu Shuiru introduced duan Qirui to Duan Qirui the young boy who lost his father, That is, Wu Qingyuan, who later swept the chess world.
When Duan Qirui first heard the name of the Go prodigy, his competitive spirit suddenly rose, and he summoned Wu Qingyuan to play against him. Wu Qingyuan also showed his superb chess skills, winning three consecutive games against Duan Qirui.
In this way, Wu Qingyuan became a member of the chess players in Duan Qirui Province, and in a short period of time, he obtained a relatively stable environment where he could immerse himself in the study of chess. In this way, Wu Qingyuan's chess skills have also improved day by day.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, Duan Qirui lost power in the game between all parties, and the Qingke in the palace were also dismissed.
Wu Qingyuan, who had lost his financial resources, had to be exiled and began a scattered life of playing against others to earn family goods.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > third, the new bureau of Qiyi Cloth, sigh lost</h1>
At that time, chess lovers in Beijing often gathered in Central Park to play against each other, and Wu Qingyuan, who was exiled here, became the "changsheng general" here.
In particular, this experience of playing in the park allowed him to meet the second nobleman of his life, Mr. Lin, who invited him to play chess at the Japanese Go Club in Beijing.
In this Japanese Go club, Wu Qingyuan easily defeated Kita Fumiko, who had defeated Gu Shuiru.
This shocked the entire club, and the news caused a storm in the Japanese chess world like flapping butterfly wings.
Wu Qingyuan's teacher, Kensetsu, came to hear the news, and after many rounds of communication, brought this Chinese-born Go prodigy to the land of Japan itself.
Wu Qingyuan thus began his legendary life, and it can be said that Setsukoshi Ken was indispensable for his insight.
Wu Qingyuan retired after sweeping Japan with juban chess, but his keen interest in Go increased. There is no doubt that Wu Qingyuan is an unborn genius in the history of world Go, and the first person in the chess world.
However, such a "first person in the chess world" whose level of Go is becoming more and more perfect has always been criticized for his own belonging.
Wu Qingyuan changed his nationality three times and eventually died in Japan as a Japanese, which is obviously difficult for Wu Qingyuan to be understood by the Chinese people for the bloody feud between China and Japan.
When Wu Qingyuan rushed to Japan as a Chinese to study chess, wu Qingyuan's status as a long-term resident in Japan was embarrassing due to the international situation at that time. In addition, in order to have the qualification to participate in the Japan Go Tournament, so as to have a stable source of income to support the family to support his mother, Wu Qingyuan had to join the Japanese nationality.
Although reluctant at heart, Wu Qingyuan, who is obsessed with chess skills and somewhat unfamiliar with the world, knows nothing about politics and interpersonal communication. He did not know what this meant for Sino-Japanese relations at that time, and all he sought was the stability and integrity of his small family.
The second time Wu Qingyuan joined the Chinese nationality coincided with 1949, the founding of New China, and the return of overseas wanderers to the embrace of the motherland was also reasonable.
However, the third change of nationality made Wu Qingyuan, who can be called a chess saint, fall into a storm about fame.
In 1979, when Japan's economy took off and became one of the four Asian tigers, Wu Qingyuan chose to change his nationality and become a Japanese again.
Although Wu Qingyuan lived in Japan as a teenager and his wife and children were all Japanese, his wavering behavior and the dispute over being the first person in the chess world still made him unacceptable to the people.
As the first person to sweep the Japanese chess world after being born in China, Wu Qingyuan's level of Go can be described as unprecedented. His lifelong obsession with Go and his naïve ignorance of the world may have been the cause of his several national changes.
In life, do things later and be a person first.
Regardless of the geometry of achievements and high ability, first of all, we must uphold a firm and upright heart, which everyone should remember and maintain, and Wu Qingyuan, the first person in the chess world, has irreproachable talent, and words and deeds are ultimately something or lacking.
