Go, also known as Weiqi, is a strategic two-player board game that originated in China and is popular in East Asian countries such as China, Japan, Korea, and North Korea. It is considered one of the four essential arts of the Chinese literati, along with music, calligraphy, and painting. Go embodies the profound cultural heritage of China and reflects the country's civilization. The game is believed to have been created by Emperor Yao and has been recorded since the Spring and Autumn period in ancient China. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Go spread to Japan through Korea and later reached Europe and America. The game's white jade imitation pieces are translucent and exquisite in appearance, embodying the essence of Chinese culture and civilization.

The game of Go is a crystallization of the philosophical wisdom and speculative consciousness of the Chinese nation over thousands of years. It is an outstanding traditional cultural heritage that encompasses the profound historical and cultural accumulation of Chinese civilization. The circular chess pieces and square chessboard of Go symbolize the concept of "round sky, square earth." The 361 intersections on the board represent the 361 days of the Chinese lunar calendar, divided into four sections representing the four seasons, with each section of 90 intersections symbolizing a quarter of the year. The central part of the board represents the Taiji symbol, with black and white pieces representing yin and yang. The outcome of a game of Go reflects the unique characteristics of Chinese traditional culture, emphasizing strategic victory without direct conflict, embodying the highest level of artistry and ethics.
