As Wu Yulin coaches his team of young players to progress further and further in the realm of Go, more children are taking private Go lessons. It only remains to be seen which of them will become the shining stars of tomorrow.

Many people also love this ancient game for the essence of Chinese philosophy that it contains. For example, Confucianism stresses the rule of Golden Mean, that people should not go to extremes, and not reveal the edges of their personality. Similarly in Go, you must hide your intensions and not fully reveal them until necessary. There's also the traditional Daoist doctrine that if you want to take something from others, you first need to give up something of your own. This is equally applicable to the strategies of Go. Julie Lo has forty years of experience teaching Chinese to primary and high school students. She has also taught in the National Taipei Access Courses & Textbooks for an overview of the unique approach of these courses as well as sample lessons. Qualifications.

The influence of the Go game on Chinese society is quite evident in various works of literature, which often include a scene or two featuring the Go board. One of China's classics, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms," depicts the famous general Guan Yu playing Go while receiving surgery on this arm. Another general Fei Wei was said to deploy his troops using a Go board as his visual layout.
