Mingren

The Mingren () is a Go competition in China organized by the Chinese Weiqi Association. The word míngrén means "brilliant man". The Mingren is equivalent to the Nihon-Kiin's Meijin and the Hanguk Kiwon's Myungin titles.

Outline

The Mingren is sponsored by the Zhongguo Qiyuan and the People's Daily. It consists of a preliminary tournament in which 32 players compete against one another to determine the challenger to the previous year's winner. The preliminary is a single-elimination format, and the title match is decided in a best-of-three. Prior to 2016, the final of the preliminary tournament was decided in a best-of-three, and the title match was decided in a best-of-five.

The winner's purse is ¥400,000 and the runner-up's is ¥200,000, as of 2025. This was increased in 2023 from the previous edition (2019), where the prize money was ¥300,000 and ¥100,000.{{cite web|url=https://sports.sina.com.cn/chess/weiqi/2023-03-28/doc-imynmvfx7987596.shtml|title= "中吉号杯"第33届中国围棋名人战深圳开幕|website=Sina Sports|date=28 March 2023|language=zh}}
