"Study of Chess" is selected from "Mencius Gaozi". Mencius (372 BC - 289 BC) was named Ke and given the courtesy name Ziyu.
A native of Zou State (now Zou County, Shandong Province) during the Warring States Period. Ancient Chinese thinker and educator.
He is a Confucian master after Confucius and is honored as "The Lesser Sage". Later generations will collectively call him "Confucius and Mencius" together with Confucius.
"Mencius" was co-authored by Mencius and his disciples. The content includes Mencius' political activities, political theories, philosophical thoughts and personality cultivation.
The whole book is divided into seven chapters: "King Hui of Liang", "Gongsun Chou", "Teng Wengong", "Li Lou", "Wan Zhang", "Gao Zi" and "Jin Xin". There are four sentences in this ancient text, which have three meanings.
The first sentence has a meaning, pointing out that Yi Qiu is the best person in the country at playing chess. This sentence pave the way for the next chapter, because "a great teacher makes a great disciple."
The students he taught were supposed to be masters. On the second level (the second and third sentences), a disharmonious phenomenon appeared: among the two students Yi Qiu taught, one of them was attentive and fully remembered what Yi Qiu taught; But I was thinking that maybe a swan was coming, and I was thinking about picking up a bow and an arrow with a silk rope to shoot it down.
As a result, although they studied together, the latter one is far inferior to the former one. The third level (the last two sentences) is self-questioning and answering: Is the latter one not as smart as the former one? I can say: not at all.
