Chinese chess has a long history and has a long history. It was first recorded in the Qin Dynasty. There are different records of the origin of chess, and different scholars have different records. Some scholars believe that chess is imitated based on the military system of the Warring States Period, because they believe that the so-called elephant is not an elephant in the animal world, but a symbolic meaning in literature. The various chess pieces in chess are based on the generals, commanders, chariots, horses, soldiers, soldiers and pawns in the military system of the Warring States Period. "Shuo Yuan·Shan Shuo" by Liu Xiang of the Han Dynasty, and the work "Chu Song·Calling Souls" written during the Warring States Period all have records of chess. It can be said that chess is a microcosm of ancient Chinese feudal society!
Chess has long been regarded as one of the four great inventions in the hearts of the Chinese people. However, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. There will always be some people who are jealous and jealous and want to attribute the origin of chess to themselves. nation. This is the case in India. There is even a popular theory of Indian origin in the world. They say without blushing that chess originated in India, and the elephant in chess refers to the elephant in India.
If we have to say that it is an elephant, China has records of using elephants to transport goods as early as the Shang Dynasty. India even applied for World Heritage six times, all of which ended in failure. From the fact that they have suffered repeated defeats, they still pretend to be confused while still pretending to understand. Faced with the continuous application for World Heritage, foreign experts said helplessly that chess belongs to China!
Although it is now advocated for world cultures to exchange and learn from each other, it does not mean that they can be directly misappropriated, or directly seize patent rights. This is inherently a big problem. Some people may think it doesn't matter, but there are two. China's excellent culture has been coveted many times in recent times. Not only India, but also South Korea has applied for a heritage list for China's traditional festival Dragon Boat Festival, and others, who regard Confucius as their own. My ancestor, I can only say that sometimes I get jealous and don’t care about anything! Therefore, China has a long way to go on the road to protecting its excellent culture!
