Chinese Go Terms / Discussion

Sub-page of ChineseGoTerms

Velobici: Can you add text to both Chinese Go Terms and Traditional Chinese Go Terms explaining the difference between the two pages? I look at them and don't understand. Perhaps, we need to indicate when a term is both current and traditional (for instance 白, there are many others). Would it be better to maintain a list of Chinese Go Terms and then have Traditional Chinese Go Terms only contain those that are not on Chinese Go Terms?

unkx80: You have a valid request, in fact, I would prefer to have both pages merged together into one. However, I have not figured how to enter traditional Chinese characters, so I will not do it right now.

tderz unkx80, please check out [ext] MDBG free online Chinese-English dictionary which has a " 繁體 Switch to traditional Chinese " and also can display both (+jiantizi).
Some long time ago, I had put several languages links onto a WeiQi pronounciation discussion page here, but it seems to be all gone.

Velobici: Ah now I understand! The difference is the character set rather than the terms themselves.
This [ext] website allows you to enter pinyin and select the character. It has the HTML codes for both the traditional and the mainland characters: 國 and 国

unkx80: Noted and bookmarked the website, thanks very much. I can merge them, but I have higher priority tasks right now, so this won't be done very soon.

Velobici: Wonderful, thank you very much.


dej2 I have an auntie that is interested in learning Go (Weiqi) she only reads Chinese. Does anyone know of where I can find a pdf that has the rules of Go written in Chinese? All my sources are only in English.

unkx80: Must it be pdf? If not, there are many good Chinese websites out there that offer rules.

One such website I recall offhand is [ext] http://www.weiqi.org.sg/chinese/howtoplay.asp ... definitely not the best one, but one you can start with.


Velobici: Can you help me with 并 / 並 and 长 / 長 ? both are listed as stretch...is there a difference between the two terms ?

unkx80: You have been asking a lot of good and challenging questions.

Typically, 长 refers to any kind of stretch, while 立 is restricted to a stretch in a vertical direction w.r.t. the edge of the board, and 并 is restricted to a stretch in a horizontal direction.

Horizontal stretch

B1 here qualifies as a 长, but is more often referred to as 并.
