Weiqi originated in China. Legend goes that it was created by Emperor Yao. Weiqi contains the richness of Han national culture, and is the embodiment of Chinese culture and civilization.

 

When talking about "Weiqi emperor", most people think of “Nie Weiping”. Su Qiaoqiao is not telling you Chinese ancient Weiqi emperors.



Yan Ziqin and Ma Suiming, Ancient Chinese Weiqi Saints 



In Bao Pu Zi (Jin Dynasty), “Weiqi players who are unconquerable are called Weiqi saints. That’s how Yan Ziqin and Ma Suiming got their name. They are the ancestors and models for amateur Weiqi players.”

Wang Jixin, Peerless Weiqi King


During 712 and 756, Wang Jixin passed imperial examination and became a “Weiqi officer”. Based on experiences of forefathers and himself, he concluded “Ten Codes” for Weiqi.




Gu Shiyan, Devine Weiqi Player


After the peerless Weiqi King Wang Jixin, another “Weiqi Officer” according to history lived in the 9th Century. He was the imperial Weiqi player of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.  



Liu Zhongfu, Weiqi Saint of Song Dynasty


He dominated the world of Weiqi during Emperor Zhezong and Emperor Huizong of Song. People said his skill was even better than Wang Jixin’s. He once wrote “Weiqi Tactics” and “Zao Wei”, but only the former is preserved today.
