As a traditional and meaningful board game, weiqi was invented in China more than 4,000 years ago. And people still play it today.
The playing pieces are called stones. One player uses the white stones and the other the black. The players take turns to place the stones on the game board. As we know, the board surface has 361 cross points. The stones are placed on them.
Weiqi is also called Go in the world. Learning it can not only improve people's logical (逻辑的) thinking ability, but also develop their calm character. That's why it is more and more popular with people.
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, weiqi travelled to Japan, and then to Europe in the 19th century. Now it has grown into an international competition event. So far, people from over 40 countries have played it. Among them, players from China, Japan and South Korea have the highest level.
On 19th February, 2021, Chinese - English Dictionary of Weiqi Terms (中英围棋术语辞典) came out in Beijing. It's the first professional dictionary about weiqi in China.
