'''Juhsung''' (or '''jushung''', 桌戰 "table battle," [[Classical Nanai]]: dʑuX ɕwuŋX, [[Du Nanai]]: Jux Hsungx /tɕu˩˧ ɕuŋ˩˧/) is a [[Nanai people|nanai]] board game, and the ancestor of all varieties of [[Men (board game)|men]]. It is styled after a battle between opposing generals (the royal pieces), and the names of the pieces reflect this, being based on infantry ranks. The objective is to either bare the opponent's general (i.e. capture all pieces except it) or to ''humble'' (checkmate) it.

== Rules ==

=== Pieces ===
Each piece in juhsung moves in a specific manner

==== General ====
The ''general'' (將 dætX) is the game's royal piece, i.e. it must be protected at all costs. It moves one tile in any direction. Capturing the general or baring it ends the game. Most sets mark the general with a character, usually ''butterfly'' (蝶 læ) for the white general and ''crab'' (蟹 paitH) for the black general. As such, the names for either side, traditionally, are the ''butterfly squadron'' (蝶軍 læ dʌpX) and the ''crab squadron'' (蟹軍 paitH dʌpX).

==== Minister ====
The ''minister'' (士 tɕamX) may move one tile orthogonally or leap (over pieces) two tiles diagonally.

==== Sergeant ====
The ''sergeant'' (帥 gɑk) moves one tile orthogonally.

==== Archer ====
The ''archer'' (箭 maŋH) may move diagonally up to two tiles. Given their movement, both archers are bound to tiles in alternating order.

==== Soldier and Marshal ====
The ''soldier'' (兵 ɳe) is the most restricted piece. It moves one tile forward. Once it has left its initial position, it may only capture by moving one tile along its rank. Once it reaches the opponent's first rank, it may be flipped over and promoted to the ''marshal'' (官 bʊkH). The marshal moves like the general, one tile in any direction.
