Well, his main attittude is on promoting Chinese culture to West by promoting
XiangQi.
Chinese culture, Chinese way of thinking is based on and illustarted by
hieroglyphs.
XiangQi with hieroglyphs replaced by figurines would not represent Chinese
culture anymore because figurines are Western analogy to hieroglyphs.
It is like proposing to implement more action/dynamics into Chinese theatre to
make it more attractive to West ;-)
