Mahjong tiles (also known as sparrow tiles) evolved from the popular horse tiles and mahjong tiles in the late Ming Dynasty. And entertainment games such as horse cards and cards are inextricably linked with Bo Xi, the oldest entertainment game in China history. Even "blood" relationship.
Nowadays, popular chess and other games are developed, derived and evolved on the basis of Bo Opera.
When did Bo Gu Opera begin? It is difficult to tell the exact time. According to the Records of Historical Records and other related documents, there were operas of Bohai State at least before Yin Dynasty.
Historical origin
The earliest Bo Opera in China is called "Liu Bo", which consists of six sticks, 12 pieces. The stick is a long bamboo product, which is equivalent to the dice used to play mahjong today.
According to Yan Family Training Miscellaneous Arts, Bo Opera can be divided into big Bo and small Bo. Dabo's method of playing chess is impossible. Xiao Bo's playing method is recorded in detail in Bo Gu Jing.
The method is: two people sit opposite each other, the chessboard is 12, and there is water at both ends. Put six black and white rectangular pieces on the chessboard. Put two more fish in the water Both sides of the game take turns to throw Joan (that is, dice), and according to the size of the throw, the number of steps forward of the chess pieces is determined.
When the chess pieces reach the finish line, they stand up and become small chess (or small chess). If you become a chess player, you can "attract fish" into the water and get a raise. Get six chips and you win. Xiao's chess is called scattered chess. Xiaoqi can attack the opponent's pieces, or give up the chance to walk, but you can't break the chess.
