Siyuan Cup

The Siyuan Cup (思源杯) was a Chinese professional Go tournament whose name means "think of the source," a Confucian idiom about gratitude and remembering one's origins. The tournament was part of China's expanding domestic Go circuit that provided competitive opportunities for the country's rapidly growing pool of professional players. Chinese Go tournaments frequently draw their names from classical literature and philosophy, reflecting the game's deep integration with traditional Chinese culture.
