As the instructor of this course, I hope to create a relaxed, safe, and encouraging artistic space for children.

🌟 中国象棋是中国传统的益智棋类游戏,有着几千年的历史。
中国象棋的棋盘中间有一条 “楚河汉界”,这是它和国际象棋最大的不同之一。它使用 “将、士、象、车、马、炮、兵” 等棋子,摆放在棋盘的交叉点上,而不是格子里。棋子不能像国际象棋那样随意走,每个棋子都有自己独特的走法。
🖋️ 通过学习中国象棋,学生可以了解中国文化,体验中华智慧的魅力。
Instructor: Mr. Zhu, Tieyuan
🌟 Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) is a traditional Chinese strategy game with a history of thousands of years.
The board has a special dividing line called the “River,” which is one of the biggest differences from Western chess. It uses pieces such as the General, Advisor, Elephant, Chariot, Horse, Cannon, and Soldier, which are placed on the intersections of the board rather than in squares. Each piece has its own unique movement rules.
🖋️ By learning Chinese chess, students can explore Chinese culture and experience the wisdom of traditional Chinese thinking.
