Ke Jie said in a live broadcast: Japanese Go has raised a bunch of stinky chess. This time it blew up again, and netizens' remarks on Ke Jie were basically divided into two factions:
One faction thinks that Ke Jie has a big mouth, does not respect Japanese colleagues, does not respect Japanese Go, and does not know how to maintain the friendship between China and Japan. Without the support of Japanese Go, how could there be the current grand occasion of Chinese Go, and without the grand occasion of Chinese Go, how could there be Ke Jie's success?Ke Jie should be grateful.
The other faction put forward a different view on the weakening of Japanese Go, believing that the weakening of Japanese Go is not a good thing for the development of Go in the world, and that Chinese Go should learn a lesson and avoid following the old path of Japanese Go.
The following is an excerpt from the speeches of netizens.
Refined egoists take control, resisting and restricting reform in the name of preserving tradition. Those who want to reform do not have the resources in their hands, and those who have resources do not want to reform. They don't need fresh blood and don't care about the development of the industry, they are intoxicated with the past glory of touting each other to create gods before the rise of China and South Korea.
There is a very important reason for the weakening of Japanese Go, that is, a small number of old people control the vast majority of resources, and young people do not need to join, and young people outside do not want to join. At a time when China and South Korea are still worried about the lack of success, Japan has almost no such problem. In this regard, there are still similarities between Japanese Go and domestic chess.
Japanese Go used to be glorious, but now it's more of an art or traditional cultural performance. As for whether it can be revived in the future, I think it is very difficult, and it is too dangerous to want to move the cake of those with vested interests.
The nineties were not, the nineties were the last glorious time of the Japanese Six Super League, and each of the Japanese Six Super League at that time had the strength to win the world championship (of course, the Six Super League was actually only Mr. Kato who did not win the world championship). The real loss of competitiveness in the world was in the 90s when the prize money for the chess holy war was much higher than the Ying Cup (in fact, it is still now), and it is difficult to ask them to adapt to international competitions instead of living at the pace of Japan.
When Zhao Zhixun, a generation of Japanese chess hegemons, was no longer competitive in China, and won the world championship in the Samsung Cup in 03, it can only be said that Japanese chess players did not have a big voice in the chess world in the nineties, mainly because of the prize money.
The saddest thing about Japanese Go is not the poor level, but the loss of competition and hard work. For example, Yili Liao, Tiger Pill may now say that the chess power is really stronger than Lao Jingshan, but once it is necessary to fight, Yili Liao and Tiger Pill will begin to surrender and not fight.
Truth be told, it's like that in Japan. Most of the "intangible cultural heritage", or useless "science students" and "liberal arts students", have relatively decent jobs and incomes, and everyone is not involved in this. Only in the most cutting-edge industries, "engineering students" and "economic management students" can have involution. Although there are a lot of social problems in Japan, I don't think that's a bad thing for me because really smart people don't go to Go, but to industries where they can really make the most of their abilities.
In fact, Ke Jie doesn't understand the situation, and the main reason for playing Go in Japan is that the income is very low. So very few people have the motivation to develop into a professional chess player. For example, the players who have ranked tenth on the prize money list in Japan over the years are generally only five or six hundred thousand yuan, which is not much higher than that of ordinary office workers in Japan. More Japanese professional chess players with average grades have to work elsewhere to make ends meet, and since there are few chess teaching clients, they are usually very humble, and some even take the initiative to write scores for their clients in the chess club (Yuichi Shiraishi is the case).
On the other hand, in China, due to the huge children's market, professional chess players are really doing well. When Cao Hengting and the Shandong team had a lawsuit before, the Shandong team said, "You can teach chess very decently, why do you want to do this kind of thing with us", and it is almost a consensus that professional chess players can live well by teaching chess, which is really much happier than Japanese chess players.
Japanese Go also follows the spirit of craftsmanship, although it is not practical, first of all, you have to pay attention to a heritage, ancient meaning, so it is mysterious, and the sense of ritual is full. The first hand must be in the upper right corner, this is called etiquette!Then a few old guys with ** touted each other, squeezing out outsiders, hey, look at this lightning five whips, specially, at a glance, it is Tai Chi authentic. Chinese and Korean chess players don't talk about those bells and whistles, roll up their sleeves and crack a hammer, Go is a boring and painful calculation. Aesthetics?Top a spleen!
The summary and analysis of netizens are still very sharp and sharp, in a familiar sentence: the eyes of the people are bright.
Chinese Go should learn from this and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. Chang Hao, the new president of China's Weiqi Association, spoke about the weakness of Japanese Go in an interview. China now has a population of 50 million Go players, 3 million new children learn to play chess every year, and a total of 15 million rank certificates are issued. The Chinese Weiqi Association has also been vigorously promoting and popularizing Go. China now has a lot more Go tournaments (professional and amateur) than Japan and South Korea.
Chinese Go has never been complacent. From learning Xi Japan before the 80s, to learning Xi Korea in the 90s, and now learning Xi AI. If you are better than me, I will learn Xi from you, which may be the reason why Chinese Go has been improving.
I have to say that the level of this session of Go netizens is too high.
