明太祖朱元璋虽然出身卑微,没念过什么书,然而在他叱咤风云的政治生涯中,却养成了爱下棋的习惯。据传,朱元璋善下模仿棋。清魏瑛《耕兰杂录》载:「明太祖智勇天纵,于艺事无所不通,惟于弈棋不耐思索。相传其与人对弈,无论棋品高低,必胜一子。盖每局必先着,辄先于枰之中间,孤着一子。此后黑东南,则白西北;黑右后,则白左前。无不遥遥相对,着着不差。至局终,则胜一子也。帝王自有真,非凡手所能拟议矣。」 Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang although humble origins, did not read any books, but in his all-powerful political career, has developed a habit of playing chess. According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang good imitation chess. Qing Wei Ying, “Geng Lan Miscellaneous Catalogs” contains: “Ming Taizu Zhiyongtian longitudinal, art in all directions, but in the chess intolerance. According to legend, its game with people, regardless of the level of chess, will win a child. Each board must be the first, every time before the middle of the Lone, lone a son. Since then, the southeast of the Black, the white northwest; black right after the white front left, all distant relative, with not bad. Also, the emperors have their own real and extraordinary hands that can be proposed. ”
