Description
A gamified device for the dissemination of traditional culture Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional culture dissemination technology, specifically to a gamified device for disseminating traditional culture. Background Technology
[0002] Chess is a popular traditional Chinese game with a long history and a broad popular base. It's an intellectually stimulating game with a long history in China. Due to its simple equipment and high entertainment value, it has become an extremely popular chess activity, deeply loved by people. However, with heavy academic burdens and many other forms of entertainment available, the number of children who play chess is decreasing. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the promotion of chess culture. Many people enjoy playing chess outdoors, but chess pieces are generally large and inconvenient to carry. Therefore, designing an outdoor chess table is essential. However, existing outdoor chess tables only solve the problem of being able to play on-site but not take the chess pieces with you. While this provides great convenience, if only the pieces that need to be moved frequently are damaged, the damaged pieces cannot be repaired or replaced individually; the entire outdoor chess table must be replaced, making maintenance inconvenient and costly.
[0003] Furthermore, outdoor weather often includes rain and snow. When rain, snow, and dust accumulate in the movement slots of the chessboard, it can prevent the pieces from moving smoothly, making it difficult for people to play chess outdoors.
