| Summary | "棋經" by Ni Zhang is a comprehensive treatise on the game of Go, likely authored during the early imperial periods in China, focusing on philosophical and strategic insights. This text serves as an instructional guide, contemplating the nuances and intricacies of playing Go, which is considered not just a game, but a means to reflect on broader principles of strategy, life, and mastery. The book is structured into thirteen chapters, each delving into various aspects of the game, such as tactics, the significance of the board (局), calculation (得算), and the importance of understanding one's own strengths and weaknesses (自知). It emphasizes the importance of patience, strategy, and foresight, laying out fundamental principles that guide players in making decisions during the game. Ni Zhang intertwines theoretical concepts with practical advice, offering readers insights on how to approach Go with a strategic mindset that can also be applied to other areas of life.
