Such as 將 is jiàng instead of jiáng.

I checked with zhongwen.com, which was my original source on the characters, and it agreed with you on this. So I made the correction.

Also, 前後 is totally wrong.

I checked zhongwen for those two characters and made corrections. I do not recall what source I got the other ones from.

You may use translators. Traditional Chinese is hard to understand -- The website contains Ancient Chinese so Microsoft Translator is a good choice: Translat Traditional Chinese into Simplified Chinese, then Pick out Ancient Part, then translate them to English. Microsoft Translator even support tlhIngan!

So can anyone comment a source code of Diagram of 象棋 here? I'm not an editor or a contributor, and I want to copy that to Play-test page.

You can call up the source code by clicking the 'here' link below the board twice, and pressing the 'Source code' button that will then appear under the legenda for the piece list.

Beware that the buttons for changing the piece and board theme on this page are not part of the Diagram, but additional elements included in the HTML page, which manipulate the Diagram's settings and then re-initialize it. But you can see how this is done by using the 'Page Source' item in the context menu of your browser, which shows everything that is on the page, including the Diagram definition.

Go to a search bar, type "view-source:https://www.chessvariants.com/xiangqi.html", then click the earth icon below the search bar.

I tried it, but the pieces are not on the grids perfectly.
