Classic of Arts

The Classic of Arts (Chinese: 艺经; pinyin: Yi Jing) was a 3rd-century Chinese book written by Handan Chun on the various cultivated arts of ancient China.[1][2] The book also briefly discussed some basics of the game of go, and it was the first to state the 9 Pin Zhi, a system for Go ranks and ratings. Although the earliest surviving complete manual on the game is the 6th century Dunhuang Go Manual.
