There are many theories about the origin of chess, and in the Tang Dynasty, there were already chess pieces such as "general", "horse", "chariot", and "pawn". In the Song Dynasty, chess was basically established with the addition of "cannon", "scholar", and "elephant". During the Ming and Qing dynasties, chess experienced significant development and became one of the most popular chess games in China.

Instructions:
Chinese Chess, also known as Xiangqi, is a traditional board game in China. It is played on a 9x10 grid board with 32 pieces in total, 16 for each player. The pieces are divided into different types, such as the general (or king), advisors, elephants, horses, chariots (or rooks), cannons, and soldiers (or pawns). Each type of piece has its unique movement rules. The objective of the game is to checkmate the opponent's general, meaning to trap it so that it cannot escape capture on the next move. Players take turns moving their pieces, following the specific rules for each type, and strategizing to outmaneuver their opponent and achieve victory.
