We are very wrong about how we're thinking about these Gnoses. Well, probably. See, ever since version 1.1, I feel like the entire Genshin lore community has collectively agreed that each Gnosis represents a different piece of a singular chess set. And up until the release of Sumeru, we only really had two Gnoses to work with: the Anemo- and Geo-Gnosis. And no one really thought twice about the Geo-Gnosis being a rook and the Anemo-Gnosis being a queen. And then, when we finally got the Electro-Gnosis, most agreed that it's either a bishop due to the shape or a knight because the Shogun is like a war general. And this concept basically pleased everyone, myself included. With seven archons, we'd have had enough Gnoses to make two bishops, two rooks, two knights, and one queen, with one theorized eighth Gnosis taking the place of the king. And that was likely being held by Celestia or some secret eighth archon in Khaenri'ah or something. You know, it makes sense, right? It's good. And that's probably why basically every theory about the Gnoses to this day has been about which archon would have which chess piece represented by their Gnosis. I'm guilty of this too. But recently, I've started to think that we're asking the wrong questions and making the wrong assumptions when it comes to the association between chess and Gnoses. So in this video, I want to pitch a bit of a different idea about the Gnoses, which may just change the way we think about the role of the archons.

我們對于神之心的看法簡直大錯特錯——或許是的吧。自 1.1 版本之后，整個原學(xué)圈似乎一致認(rèn)為，每枚神之心代表了一副國際象棋中的不同棋子。在須彌之前，我們只有兩枚可供研究的神之心：風(fēng)神之心和巖神之心。我們沒多想就默認(rèn)了巖神之心是車，風(fēng)神之心是后。之后，我們終于見到雷神之心，主流看法認(rèn)為它要么是象——因為形狀相似，要么是馬——因為“將軍”相當(dāng)于軍隊的將帥?；旧纤腥硕颊J(rèn)同這個觀點，包括我自己。塵世執(zhí)政有七位，神之心足夠匹配兩個象、兩個車、兩個馬和一個后，原則上還有第八枚神之心代表王。它可能由天空島或某個神秘的第八執(zhí)政持有，位于坎瑞亞之類的地方。這很合理，是吧？挺不錯的猜想?；蛟S就是因為這個原因，目前每個論及神之心的猜想都談的是某位塵世執(zhí)政的神之心代表哪個棋子。我也犯了這個錯誤。但最近我漸漸認(rèn)為，我們在看待國際象棋和神之心的關(guān)聯(lián)時，提出的問題和做出的假設(shè)都是錯的。因此，在本視頻中，我想提出一個稍顯不同的神之心觀點，這或許會改變我們對塵世執(zhí)政的看法。

And now, back to the video. Now, where were we? Oh right, we were talking about the most common theories that most people have about which archon has which Gnosis and how they arrive at that conclusion.

Now, one of the most popular ways to predict which archon will have which Gnosis is something I've dubbed "Movement Theory." This theory suggests that a Gnosis as a chess piece is determined by how that chess piece moves. For example, Venti is the god of freedom and also the queen piece. And the queen piece in chess can move however it likes, in other words, it can move freely. While Zhongli is the god of contracts and he is therefore inflexible and can only move in a straightforward manner, kind of like a rook. So, you get the idea, right? Like it's pretty straightforward.

But this kind of got me thinking. When we saw the "Winter Night's Lazzo" trailer, we got to see the Anemo- and Geo-Gnosis on a real chessboard as they replaced literal pieces. Only Venti's piece didn't make any sense. You see, the chessboard was a very specific layout from a very specific and famous chess game: Deep Blue vs Gary Kasparov in 1996, game one, move 34. The first game in a series of six Championship chess matches, where an AI, that's Deep Blue here, defeated a chess master, Kasparov. So, we know what this board should look like and what the pieces on the board should be.

那么，回到正題。剛才說到哪兒了？啊，對，說的是我們對哪位塵世執(zhí)政擁有哪一種神之心的主流猜想，以及我們?yōu)槭裁吹玫竭@些結(jié)論。

這類預(yù)測的猜想中有幾個最為流行，其中一個我稱之為“走子理論”。它認(rèn)為，神之心選用哪種棋子，由這種棋子的移動方式?jīng)Q定。例如，溫迪是自由之神，棋子是后。后在國際象棋中可以靈活移動，四舍五入就是自由移動。而鐘離是契約之神，就容不得靈活了，只能直來直往，有點像車。大概明白意思了吧？這解釋簡單明了。

但這也讓我另有想法。在“冬夜愚戲”預(yù)告片中，我們看到風(fēng)神之心和巖神之心在棋盤上代替了真正的棋子。但溫迪的那一枚卻講不通。這盤棋用了一個非常特別的布局，出自一場著名的國際象棋對局：1996 年的“深藍(lán)”與加里·卡斯帕羅夫首局的第 34 步。這也是國際象棋錦標(biāo)賽六局戰(zhàn)的第一局。最終，人工智能“深藍(lán)”擊敗了國際象棋大師卡斯帕羅夫。因此，我們知道棋局應(yīng)該是什么樣子，棋盤上應(yīng)該擺放哪些棋子。

?

Now, logic dictates that if the Geo-Gnosis is a rook, then it should take the place of a rook on the board. And if the Anemo-Gnosis is a queen, then it should take the place of a queen on the board, right? But the Anemo-Gnosis is actually in the place of a king. Now, this sparked a whole series of new theories that the Anemo-Gnosis was actually a king all along and not a queen. And I kind of bought into this myself. Well, actually, I suggested that the abilities of the queens and kings were switched in general. But whatever the result is, basically the same. The point here is that either Venti has to have the king piece or else he's a queen masquerading as a king, which is weird because why would Hoyoverse do that? Maybe we should take another look at this Deep Blue versus Kasparov game thing.

那么，按邏輯推斷，如果巖神之心是車，那么它就應(yīng)該替換棋盤上的一個車。如果風(fēng)神之心是后，它就應(yīng)該替換棋盤上的一個后，對吧？但風(fēng)神之心實際上卻替換了王。這引出了一系列的新理論，認(rèn)為風(fēng)神之心其實一直是王而不是后。我先前也有點認(rèn)同這個說法。我的想法是，后和王在整體上交換了能力。但無論如何，觀點基本上是一樣的。分歧在于，要么溫迪的棋子是王，要么他是偽裝成王的后。這很奇怪，米哈游為什么要這么做呢？也許我們應(yīng)該再看一下“深藍(lán)”對陣卡斯帕羅夫的那場比賽。

?

Okay, so there are six games total in the Deep Blue versus Gary Kasparov series in 1996. And this is just game one. Game one seems to incorporate three regions: Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Liyue. So, this means that we have enough chess matches remaining to assign an entire match to each of the following regions: Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, Snezhnaya, and Khaenri'ah (I'm counting Khaenri'ah because it's included in Travail).

1996 年“深藍(lán)”與加里·卡斯帕羅夫下了六局，這只是第一局。這局棋似乎代表了三個國家：蒙德、稻妻和璃月。所以，我們還有足夠的對局分配給之后的每個國家：須彌、楓丹、納塔、至冬和坎瑞亞——我算上坎瑞亞是因為它也包含在“足跡”預(yù)告片中。

?

Okay, game one carries up to the end of Inazuma's story arc, which lets us map a pawn to Signora and the knight that captured her to the Shogun. But if we think of the archons as being represented by their Gnoses, then that means the Electro-Gnosis should be a knight, right? But hang on a second, it makes sense to me if the Shogun or Ei is represented by the knight piece since she was the battle-ready one of the twins. But Makoto was the true original archon. So, by that logic, the Gnosis should reflect Makoto and not the Shogun. But to confuse things even more, the person who had the Gnosis for the last 500 years was actually Miko, who then gave it to Scaramouche. So, there are four options to choose from here.

那么，第一局持續(xù)到稻妻劇情的結(jié)尾，于是我們將兵對應(yīng)為“女士”，將吃掉它的馬對應(yīng)為雷電將軍。如果認(rèn)為塵世執(zhí)政以神之心為代表，那么雷神之心就應(yīng)該是馬，對吧？先別急，認(rèn)為代表雷電將軍或者影的是馬，這不無道理，因為她是兩姐妹中負(fù)責(zé)戰(zhàn)斗的那個。但真正的、最初的塵世執(zhí)政應(yīng)該是真。所以，按這個邏輯，神之心代表的應(yīng)該是真而不是雷電將軍。但情況還要更加復(fù)雜，因為最近五百年持有這枚神之心的其實是神子，然后她又將它交給了“散兵”。于是，這就有了四個選擇。

?

That means the real question is: Are we using the Gnoses to represent the current archons, the original archons, or just the person who happens to possess the Gnosis? Unfortunately, we don't have another "Winter Night's Lazzo"-style trailer chessboard to compare Match 2 with yet. But the endgame of Match 2, which should represent just Sumeru's Archon Quest, was basically a fight between two bishops. Which is why many, myself included, believed that the Electro-Gnosis and the Dendro-Gnosis were both bishops. You know, since Scaramouche and Nahida confronted each other and both of them were in possession of their respective Gnoses.

所以真正的問題應(yīng)該是：神之心代表的究竟是當(dāng)前的塵世執(zhí)政、最初的塵世執(zhí)政，還是恰好持有神之心的人？可惜，我們沒有另一個“冬夜愚戲”的棋局來與第二場對局相比較。第二局棋的收尾階段應(yīng)該只代表須彌的魔神任務(wù)，大體上是兩個象的戰(zhàn)斗。所以包括我自己在內(nèi)的很多人認(rèn)為雷神之心和草神之心都是象。因為“散兵”和納西妲對峙之時，兩人都持有各自的神之心。

?

But that still doesn't answer the question of who or what the Gnosis is actually representing on the board. If it's just representing whoever's holding it, then the Electro-Gnosis is probably not a knight but instead a bishop, since Scaramouche was the one who was actually holding and using the Gnosis. Which means that Makoto would also be a bishop of sorts, I guess.

但這依然沒有解決“神之心在棋盤上代表誰或什么東西”的問題。如果它只代表持有它的人，那么雷神之心就可能不是馬，而是象，因為持有并使用神之心的實際上是“散兵”。這表明真也可能是象——是嗎？

?

Although you could also make the case that there could be two Electro-Gnoses, since you know the Electro Archons were twins. So one Electro Bishop Gnosis and then one Electro Knight Gnosis. But like, even though I can kind of see that because we have two different types of Electro slimes, it still just seems really unlikely. Because why wouldn't Ei just talk about using her own Gnosis for things? Why use Makoto's? Why is all this emphasis on Makoto's Gnosis? And really, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to trying to decipher who has what piece and why. And I could go on for a really long time going over all of them, but no matter how you rationalize this, no matter how you look at every theory around these Gnoses representing different pieces of the same chess set, they all come with some kind of currently unresolvable problem.

你也許會說，雷神之心可能有兩個，因為兩代雷神是兩姐妹嘛，所以有一個象的雷神之心，一個馬的雷神之心。盡管我能理解這種說法，畢竟有兩種不同的雷史萊姆，但它似乎還是不太可能。因為影為什么不用自己的神之心？為什么要用真的？為什么要強調(diào)真的神之心？不過呢，這些都只是解釋誰持有哪個棋子、為什么是這個棋子的冰山一角。我可以繼續(xù)講很長時間，把所有“神之心代表一副國際象棋不同棋子”的猜想都說一遍，但無論如何尋找合適的理由、無論如何看待這些猜想，它們都存在目前無法解釋的問題。

?

So let me play devil's advocate for a bit. Chess is not like Checkers where you have to capture all of your opponent's pieces to win, and it's not like Go either where you have to go around capturing as much territory as you possibly can. The only goal of Chess is to capture or corner the king, and that's it. That's the whole point of Chess. It's just capture the king. It's like Capture the Flag but on a board game.?

Now, thus far in every region, the goal of the Fatui has been to capture or corner the Archon, because the Archons have the Gnoses. So in my eyes, Game One must have ended in Inazuma because the Archon did not have the Gnosis. So even if they cornered her, it wouldn't have let them achieve their goal because she wasn't the king piece. She didn't have the winning piece. Scaramouche had already taken it with him. So the Fatui lost the match because the enemy team didn't have a king piece to capture. There was no way to win that game, which is probably why Pierro's just like, "Oh yeah, we lost the battle but not the war" (I'm paraphrasing, but you get the idea).

所以就讓我當(dāng)一回魔鬼的代言人吧。國際象棋不像國際跳棋，必須吃掉對方的所有棋子才算贏；它也不像圍棋，必須盡可能多地占領(lǐng)地盤。國際象棋的唯一目標(biāo)是將死或困住對方的王，僅此而已。把王將死，這就是國際象棋的重點，就像桌游版的奪旗賽。

截止目前，愚人眾在每個國家的目標(biāo)都是“將死”或困住塵世執(zhí)政，因為他們有神之心。所以在我看來，第一局棋在稻妻結(jié)束，因為雷神沒有神之心。所以即使愚人眾把她逼到死角，也無法達(dá)成目標(biāo)，因為她不是“王”，她沒有代表勝利的棋子?！吧⒈睅ё吡怂?，所以愚人眾輸?shù)袅藢?，因為對方?jīng)]有王可以“將死”。由于沒有贏的條件，皮耶羅才會說：“好吧，我們輸了這場戰(zhàn)斗，但沒有輸?shù)粽麍鰬?zhàn)爭”——我只是說個大意，你們明白意思就行。

?

Now take a look at Game Two. I mentioned earlier that it was a battle between two Bishops, and that's definitely true. But the identities of these Bishops are not equated to Nahida and Scaramouche. Instead, these two are each side's respective Kings. Technically speaking, before this match even started, Scaramouche had already half given the Gnosis to the Fatui since he was one of their number. It hadn't gone all the way to Tsaritsa yet, which is probably why it could be on the board. But this would also put Nahida in the position of the King on the opposite side. Neither Nahida, nor Scaramouche have much freedom of movement during the Sumeru Archon quest, so this kind of fits their position as kings in this particular match way more than it does the Bishops.

再看第二局。前面提到，這局是兩個象之間的戰(zhàn)斗，這肯定沒問題。但這兩個象的真身并不是納西妲和“散兵”。其實，他們應(yīng)當(dāng)是雙方的“王”。原則上說，在局棋開始之前，“散兵”的神之心已經(jīng)半入愚人眾之手，因為他是愚人眾的一員。它還沒有送交冰之女皇，這或許是它還在這局棋盤上的原因。而這也將納西妲置于對方王的位置。在須彌魔神任務(wù)期間，納西妲和“散兵”的行動自由都不大，所以他們更恰當(dāng)?shù)奈恢檬峭?，而不是象?/span>

?

Now, at the end of the Archon quest, Nahida is confronted by Dottore, who eventually takes both the Dendro and the Electro-Gnosis from her, thus allowing the Fatui to win the game. However, if you compare this outcome to the ending of Game Two, you'll notice that the Bishop is the piece that puts the losing side's King into check. Therefore, the Bishop here must be Dottore and not Scaramouche, which means that the other Bishop could be the Traveler. Now, this game ended by resignation, which is actually in line with how Nahida gambled on Dottore, buying her bluff about Celestia waking up. It's just check versus checkmate, really. It's a distinction I'm trying to make. But again, in this scenario, that makes Nahida a king piece, which is the same as Venti. And yeah, you can have two knights, Bishops, and Rooks in a set, no problem. But you can't really have two kings, now can you?

在須彌魔神任務(wù)的最后，納西妲與“博士”對峙，最終被他取走了草神之心和雷神之心，因此這局是愚人眾贏了。然而，如果你將這個結(jié)果與第二局棋的殘局比較，可以看到，能夠?qū)⑺罃》街醯钠遄邮窍?。因此，這里的象必然是“博士”，而不是“散兵”，于是另一個象可能是旅行者。比賽以“深藍(lán)”認(rèn)輸結(jié)束，這其實對應(yīng)了納西妲與“博士”的打賭。她要喚醒天空島不過是虛張聲勢，結(jié)果也只是困死和將殺的區(qū)別——這是我有意做的區(qū)分。這種情況下，納西妲代表的棋子就是王，與溫迪相同。一方的棋子有兩個馬、兩個象和兩個車，這沒問題。但不會有兩個王，對吧？

?

And that's what I started wondering. What if we're just wrong about the way we think about the Gnoses? What if they're not all pieces from the same chess set? What if instead, they are each their respective Kings from their own chess sets? Take another look at the three Gnoses that we have seen thus far in-game. Do you notice anything odd about them? Each of them is visually distinct. Yes, they're all gold, black, and with a gemstone filling to match their Archon's element. But beyond that, they don't really look like they belong together.

于是我有了別的想法。我們對神之心的看法是不是錯了呢？它們是否并非一副棋的棋子，而是各自的國際象棋中的王？再看看游戲中能夠看到的三枚神之心。你注意到它們的奇怪之處了嗎？每一枚的外觀都獨具特色。誠然，它們都是金中帶黑，并且鑲嵌了對應(yīng)執(zhí)政元素的寶石。但除此之外，它們真的不像是同一副棋里的棋子。

?

Just look at the bases. The Electro-Gnosis doesn't flare outwards at the bottom or have the little flared bits at the top. The patterns on them are also different, as are the overall shapes and decorations. And take another close look at the top of these Gnoses. Notice how the Anemo- and Geo-Gnosis both have four-pointed crowns, while the Electro-Gnosis... okay, well, you could argue for both two and four points here, but the main point I want to make is that its top actually represents the helmet of a Shogun. And Shoguns were often described as kings by foreigners due to similarities in the power and influence that they wielded, even though they were technically ranked beneath the Emperor. But they were basically the real power behind the throne, anyways. So, whatever, it still applies. This basically makes it kind of like a king's crown, right? I know it's a little bit of a stretch, just roll with me. And if you want to get clever, you can compare a crown indicative of each Gnosis's influential region, and you'll notice that they match up pretty well.

只須看看它們的底座。雷神之心的底部沒有向外突出，上面也沒有外翻。它們的圖案也各不相同，整體形狀和裝飾也是如此。再仔細(xì)看一下這些神之心的頂部。請注意，風(fēng)神之心和巖神之心都有四角王冠，而雷神之心嘛……好吧，你說它是兩個角還是四個角都行，但我想說的主要觀點是，它的頂部其實代表了將軍的頭盔。雖然將軍的地位原則上低于天皇，但外國人經(jīng)常將他們視為國王，因為他們的權(quán)力和影響力與國王相差無幾。真正的權(quán)力屬于皇室背后的他們。總而言之，這些是對得上的，因此它基本上也等同于王冠，對吧？我知道這或許有點牽強，但先跟著我走。聰明伶俐的你，可以比較每枚神之心與它所代表的國家的王冠，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)它們非常匹配。

?

The Anemo-Gnosis, this matches that of a medieval European king's crown, which fits perfectly for Monstat. And Inazuma obviously matches the Japanese Shogun. And, well, I admit the Liyue comparison is a little bit of a stretch, but you can still see the basic square shape of a Chinese Emperor's headpiece here. I would actually like to propose that the Geo-Gnosis is probably also referencing either the dragons of the five directions or the five emblematic animals, of which the yellow dragon, who would be Zhongli in this case, is at the center. And that makes a four-pointed box, which would match Venti's four-pointed crown. And while the Shogun's crown doesn't appear to have four points total, you could make a case at the top that branching out and splitting into two counts as four. I know that's weak, but I'm gonna account for some artistic license here. But in any case, this idea that every Gnosis is the king of a different region's chess set also resolves issues the one chess set theory had, like how there were only seven archons and eight chess pieces, or who were the pawns in those chess sets, or why would Electro potentially have two pieces, etc. etc. You get the idea.

風(fēng)神之心的王冠與中世紀(jì)歐洲國王的王冠相符，非常契合蒙德。稻妻的顯然是日本將軍。呃，我承認(rèn)璃月的有些對應(yīng)不上，但依然可以看到與中國皇帝的冠冕相匹配的方形。這里我想說，巖神之心或許還參考了五方神龍或五方神獸，其中的黃龍，游戲中是鐘離，位于中心。這就構(gòu)成了一個四角盒，與溫迪的四角王冠相匹配。將軍的王冠雖然貌似沒有四個尖角，但頂部兩支的分叉一共也可以算成四個了。我知道這個論斷有些薄弱，其中大概有些藝術(shù)上的考量。但無論如何，“每枚神之心都是各個國家的國際象棋的王”這個想法，能解決國際象棋論中的某些問題，比如塵世執(zhí)政有七名，棋子卻有八個；又如，這些棋局中的兵是誰，或者雷神為什么可能有兩個棋子等等。我就不多說了。

?

And it works well with the theory that the Gnoses came from the power of the seven sovereigns, the seven Dragon Kings, right? That's a pretty popular theory when it comes to Gnoses. It also means that the chess pieces they replace on the board, ala Lazzo, doesn't even matter because the Gnoses are just there as placeholders. Think of it more like swapping out your player piece during a game of Monopoly or if you're playing a game of something like Risk or Stratego. The Gnoses can take the place of basically any soldier on the field. It's kind of like putting on a costume and then assuming a role. Also, keep in mind that Visions are called primitive Gnoses by Venti, which might suggest that, metaphorically at least, Vision wielders are the pawns. The special property of a pawn in chess is that if it makes it to the other side of the board, it can promote or maybe Ascend is a better term. And from there, the pawn can become any piece in the game, except the king, because there can only be one king per color. And not to tie this back to Deshret, like I do a lot of the time, but Deshret, the Scarlet King, wanted to make Humanity the king of all Kings, to rise above the gods and basically become their own Gods. And to do that, he tried to break the cycle of seven by implementing the same plan as the dragon Kings. Obtain Forbidden Knowledge and use it to challenge heaven. And maybe if he succeeded, then those little pawns could Ascend to the Forbidden role of King.

此外，它也與神之心來自七個君王，也就是七龍王之力的猜想相吻合。這是另一個關(guān)于神之心的非常流行的猜想。這也意味著，它們在那什么愚戲的棋盤上代表什么棋子，其實根本就不重要，因為神之心只是“占位符”而已。你可以在《大富翁》里用神之心替換你的角色棋子，如果你玩的是《大戰(zhàn)略》（Risk）或西洋陸軍棋之類的桌游，也可以用它們替換戰(zhàn)場上的任何士兵。這就像換套衣服，然后去扮演某個角色。還記得溫迪將神之眼稱為初級神之心的事吧，這可能暗示神之眼是兵，至少也是種隱喻。國際象棋中的兵有個特殊規(guī)則：如果它到達(dá)棋盤對面的底邊，就可以升變，或許用“晉升”更恰當(dāng)一些?？傊?，兵可以變成任何一種棋子，王除外，因為每種顏色只能有一個王。這里不必像我經(jīng)常做的那樣，將這一點與赤王聯(lián)系起來。但提到赤王，他想讓人類成為眾王之王，超越眾神之上，成為自己的神。為此，他意圖打破七之循環(huán)，實施與眾龍王相同的計劃，獲得禁忌知識，并以此挑戰(zhàn)上天。如果他成功了，那些小小的兵就可以晉升為禁忌的角色——王。

?

Anyway, I don't really have much more to add for right now. I guess we'll just have to wait and see until we can see at least one other Gnosis before we can say for sure one way or another what these pieces are, what they represent. Or maybe we'll get another Winter Nights Lazzo, that would be awesome too. But that's gonna do it for my spicy take theory salad. So what'd you think? Is it possible, plausible, probable? Or is it just poop? Let me know in the comments down below. A special thank you to all of my channel members who have been very patient with me as I was trying to catch up after not posting videos for like a whole month. I've got a lot of stuff in the oven right now and I cannot wait to share them. In, oh, oh hey, you, the one who's still watching this video, thanks for sticking around to the end. Never doubt your awesomeness. But all right, guys, take care of yourselves. Stay hydrated, don't forget to stretch, and I will see you all in the next one. Bye for now.

至此，我也沒有什么要補充的了。我想，我們只能等到至少另一枚神之心出現(xiàn)，才能確定這些棋子是什么，代表了什么。又或者，我們也許會看到另一場“冬夜愚戲”，那也很不錯。我的這份辣味猜想沙拉就到此為止了。你覺得怎么樣呢？可信嗎，合理嗎，有可能嗎？還是胡說八道？在下面的評論中告訴我吧。衷心感謝所有耐心等待了我一個月的頻道成員們?？鞠淅镆呀?jīng)塞了很多東西，我迫不及待地想要分享給大家。啊，對了，你，還在看這個視頻的人，感謝你堅守到最后。別小看了自己的了不起。那么，大家多保重，多喝水，記得舒展身體，我們下期再會。拜拜。
