Features: Go has a history of over 2,000 years in China. Music, calligraphy, painting, and Go are part of China's ancient and profound culture, which has long been respected by people worldwide. Our country advocates learning Go, especially encouraging children to study it, as a means to cultivate their competitive spirit and ultimately enhance the cultural literacy of the entire nation. In this book, Zhu Wenxin incorporates her years of experience in learning and teaching Go. The book is divided into 37 lessons, covering introductory knowledge, basic theory, fuseki (opening patterns), tesuji (life-and-death techniques), and gote (endgame). Each lesson concludes with a short story about Go. To suit children's learning style, the book includes numerous illustrations, introducing fundamental Go techniques in a step-by-step manner. It combines learning, fun, and entertainment, making it feel like reading a comic strip for children. Additionally, exercises are provided after each lesson to reinforce memory. This type of Go book is a unique creation by Zhu Wenxin, highly meaningful and ultimately effective. Through this book, we hope to inspire more children to develop a love for Go, and by studying it, help young learners become smarter.
