Sz'kwa help request

Hello! I have a question about the article sz'kwa, "children's game played in China". I was trying to find the hanzi for this but was not successful. The pinyin is also unusual - does this look correct or would you suggest something else? Please let me know what the hanzi are so I can add it to the article and also if the pinyin should be changed to something more standardized. 謝謝 Kazamzam（留言） 2024年1月11日 (四) 12:36 (UTC)

@Kazamzam：The playing board of sz'kwa is looked like 西瓜棋（Xī Guā Qí）. But, I'm not sure that they are the same games. Best wishes. --傘木 霙^留言 2024年1月11日 (四) 13:29 (UTC)

@Kazamzam：It looks like a romanization system used before pinyin was invented. "sz" may be si in pinyin, which could be 四 (four, sì) in "the game of four directions." "kwa" could be gua or kua but I don't know any related word meaning "directions." ——魔琴 [ 留言 貢獻 新手2023計劃 ] 2024年1月11日 (四) 13:57 (UTC)

Could be 卦?--Cookai餅塊🍪_{（💬留言）} 2024年1月11日 (四) 14:21 (UTC)

But 卦 does not have the meaning of "directions." I searched 四卦棋 and no results were found. ——魔琴 [ 留言 貢獻 新手2023計劃 ] 2024年1月11日 (四) 15:12 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. I'm just saying I think it's reasonable if someone translated a game called "四卦" into "the game of four directions". Of course, it's just a guess.--Cookai餅塊🍪_{（💬留言）} 2024年1月11日 (四) 15:33 (UTC)

The only Chinese reference I found is the painting plate (mentioned in #cite_note-Bell1988-3) titled "中國棋" (Chinese Chess)[1], which might not help much.--Cookai餅塊🍪_{（💬留言）} 2024年1月11日 (四) 14:45 (UTC)

About main Guestbook page

Do we really need so many messages for languages from India? Hindi - Indeed, their National mother tangue, Tamil - Indeed, one of four official languages of Singapore, and commonly seen in Malaysia and Indonesia, Nepal - Indeed, official language of Nepal (where it bordered with Mainland China), but why Bengali? Telugu? Sinhalese?--Liuxinyu970226（留言） 2024年10月2日 (三) 13:03 (UTC)
