Weiqi originated in China and was handed down by Emperor Yao. It was recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was introduced to Japan through Korea and then to European and American countries. Weiqi contains rich cultural connotations in China, which is the embodiment of China culture and civilization.

Weiqi uses a square chessboard and black and white round pieces to play chess. There are 19 vertical and horizontal lines on the chessboard, which divide the chessboard into 36 1 intersections. The chess pieces walk at the intersection, and the two sides play chess alternately. After falling, they can't move, and most of them win.

Because the black side went first and took advantage, it was artificially stipulated that the black side should post to the white side at the end of the game. In ancient China, Weiqi was a block system in which black and white players placed two pieces in the diagonal star position (diagonal star layout), and the white player took the lead.

Modern Weiqi was developed from Japan, and the seating rules were abolished, so the changes of Weiqi became more complicated and changeable. Weiqi is also considered as the most complicated board game in the world.
