The original intention does not change, meet
Chinese people have always had a strong interest in Weiqi, from the national pursuit of chess master Nie Weiping, to the enthusiastic attention of Alphago; National leaders have repeatedly used chess as a proxy for potential and to solve problems, and the whole people have learned chess. Chess clubs have sprung up all over the country, and the professional market marketing of Weiqi has emerged. The first Weiqi college of undergraduate universities in China has begun to recruit students. All kinds of news are revealed - the national Weiqi fever has become increasingly heated.
Among them, the most active backbone force is nothing more than the well-known Weiqi clubs that roam the capital market and the professional Weiqi arena. Shanghai Qingyi Weiqi Club is one of them.
Shanghai Qingyi Weiqi Club is jointly forged by world champion Hu Yuqing Eighth Dan and gold medal coach Liu Yiyi. Liu Shizhen, vice captain of the National Go team, serves as the head coach of the club. World champion Jiang Weijie, Fan Tingyu, champion of the Intellectual Games Mi Yuting serves as the technical guidance. As the top Weiqi club in China, Shanghai Qingyi has cultivated three world champions and the No.1 player in the set stage match in recent years. Now it is the elite talent base of Shanghai Sports Bureau and the only elite base of Shanghai Weiqi Academy. It shoulders the responsibility of cultivating Shanghai youth team and Shanghai Youth team.
Zhongyan Group, as a multi-industry integrated development group company, has always taken the inheritance of Chinese culture as its own responsibility. Zhongyan and Shanghai Qingyi are more about the love of traditional Chinese culture and the spirit of Weiqi. Speaking of this matter, Mr. Feng Xiang, chairman of Zhongyan Group, said that sponsoring Weiqi originated from the love for traditional Chinese culture. He hopes that Weiqi can help people in the impetuous society to have a more real understanding of traditional Chinese culture.

Therefore, when the innovative Zhongyan Group met the ancient traditional essence of Weiqi, the two sides decided how to carry forward this ancient Chinese cultural treasure in the most fashionable and modern way in the field they are best at.
Mutual achievement, look forward to
If sponsoring the Go team is Zhongyan Group's initial public interest in the Weiqi industry, then Zhongyan Group has a deeper consideration on how to complement each other, operate the Weiqi market more deeply, and how to promote the Weiqi, a treasure of traditional Chinese culture.
Drawing on the experience of Japan and South Korea, which lead the market operation of the Go industry, Zhongyan gives full play to the strength of its industrial companies, and invests human and material resources to develop the first entertainment go hand game - "Weiqi Shengen" by means of technological innovation.
By combining Weiqi with e-sports, the mobile game "God General of Weiqi" can not only enjoy the competitive nature of Weiqi with original flavor, but also intersperse Weiqi culture, Weiqi stories and well-known characters in the process of role playing tasks, so as to combine education with pleasure and support the education and training of Weiqi. The research and development team is not only joined by professional players, but also assisted by Weiqi teachers who have been engaged in education and training for many years. We strive to achieve good performance in the professionalism, competition, culture and game of Weiqi.
Mobile games are used to attract the public, so that more young people who love games like Weiqi, understand the culture of Weiqi and join the game. At the same time, Shanghai Qing No.1 Middle School Mobile Game Team will spend one year, on the one hand, continue to introduce excellent chess players, on the other hand, pay great attention to training, in 2019 will be a challenge to the first division team, to ensure the realization of the goal of promotion to the First Division in three years.

It can be predicted that when "Weiqi God General" this mobile game is hot, it will be able to set off a wave of Weiqi boom again in China, and set up a successful model for the modernization of Chinese culture.
Postscript:

It is the responsibility and mission of all the sons and daughters of China to carry forward this ancient and modern game, which originated more than 4,000 years ago, and pass on the beauty and mystery of Weiqi to more future generations.
