Please note the SL sub-page "/English to Chinese" gives the same terms as this page[1], but with the index (or ordering) based on English rather than on Chinese.

The romanization given in this Chinese Go Terms list is in Hanyu Pinyin. If the simplified characters and the traditional characters for a Chinese term are different, then the traditional characters will be listed in parentheses.

Terms marked with an asterisk (*) have meanings that are not specific to Go.

About Hanyu Pinyin

If you have a Chinese term in characters, do not read Chinese, and want to find its meaning, copy the characters and paste them into the window at the website [3] and you will get the pinyin version which you can look up in the list below.

When you encounter two characters with the same Hanyu Pinyin romanization, it is possible that they represent different Chinese characters with the same pronunciation.

There are four main tones in Hanyu Pinyin (yīng, yáng, shǎng, qù), as well as a light tone. The light tone has no diacritical tone marks. Due to the difficulty in entering the diacritical tone marks in computers, it is common to see the them replaced by numbers in the form yin1, yang2, shang3 and qu4. Also, ü is often entered as v or uu for the same reason.
