围棋是世界上最古老的棋类游戏之一，起源于中国古代，属于琴棋书画四艺之一。如今，围棋已经由中国走向世界，成为国际通行棋种，但其实，围棋在中国古代的发展可谓一波三折。

Go is one of the oldest board games in the world, originating in ancient China. It is one of the "four traditional arts" alongside the zither, calligraphy, and painting. Today, Go has spread from China to the world, becoming an internationally recognized strategic board game. However, its development in ancient China was anything but linear.

围棋自诞生之后，到春秋初期，一直未有确切的文字记载。春秋战国时期出现了最初的围棋记载。秦灭六国一统天下，围棋这时在大多数人眼中只是一种微艺末技，也没有出现专门的棋艺理论著作。到了西汉时期，围棋传遍全国。

There were no written records of Go from its inception until the early Spring and Autumn period. The first records of Go appeared during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. After the Qin dynasty unified China, Go was generally regarded as a minor pastime with little scholarly merit, and no formal theoretical works on Go emerged at that time. During the Western Han dynasty, Go became widespread across the country.

之后围棋经历多次发展与调整，各朝代的玩法形式各有不同，一直到19世纪，有关围棋的准确信息主要通过被派往中国、日本等国的外交官传至欧洲，且开始出现中、日两种同源但不同规则的围棋传播体系，围棋开始正式走向世界。

Over the centuries, the rules and styles of play evolved through multiple dynasties. It wasn't until the 19th century that accurate information about Go was introduced to Europe by diplomats posted to China and Japan. From then on, two distinct but related rule systems from Chinese and Japanese began to spread globally, marking Go's transition into a truly international game.
