The game shows a fight between two armies.Chuhe hanjie,which refers to the Chu-Han War, divides the board into two sides.The main goal is catching the enemy's general.It is played on a board with nine vertical lines(纵线)and ten horizontal lines(横线).The pieces are put on the intersections(交叉点). Each player controls 16 pieces.The pieces are flat,round disks with a Chinese character on them. To distinguish between pieces of the two sides,one player uses red pieces and the other uses black ones.The black characters are a little different from the corresponding red ones. Elders play it in parks to make friends and chat.Families play it to spend happy time together.Parents teach kids,and they talk and laugh happily during the game.Playing xiangni also helps you learn useful skills:you need to plan ahead,guess what the other player will do,and stay calm when things are hard.These skills help you in daily life too,like solving school problems.
