Summary

Woodblock-printed page from Elegant Pastime (適情雅趣), volume 3, position 209, whose cartouche is printed 參參見佛. The band under the diagram reads 白棄車馬卒勝. The page comes from the Peking University Library copy of the Qing-era reprint, digitised as CADAL02095149 (volume 3 of CADAL02095147–55), and was retrieved as page 22 of the Wikimedia Commons file "CADAL02095149 適情雅趣（三）.djvu".

The same position and its nine-ply text are carried by two independent modern transcriptions: the Dongping Xiangqi website record and the 永乐象棋棋谱网 record, and by the 识典古籍 text layer of the CADAL scan.
