Playing cards in my hometown-"Twenty or Seventy"

In the days when mahjong was popular, I couldn't stand the noise and profundity of mahjong, and I always loved my hometown card-"Twenty or Seventy". This is a simple, low-key and quiet card.

In fact, this brand is the characteristic of Leshan, and it is called "Leshan's twenties and seventies". However, because my hometown is adjacent to the border of Leshan City, almost all the people in my hometown are playing "twenties and seventies". The skills and comfort of playing "twenties and seventies" are passed down from generation to generation.

? "Twenty or seventy" is narrow and long, with two fingers wide and one hand long. The numbers on the card are red and black. From one to ten, after washing the cards, each person touches twenty cards and habitually inserts three cards vertically. We call three cards and one vertical position "a rub". Each player holds six shuffle cards and two cards. These twenty cards are arranged in a fan shape and are firmly held by players. Really very literary!

How old should children in my hometown learn to play this card? This should be due to the contact and influence of parents day and night. Of course, I am no exception. I have been able to play since I was a child, and no one has specially taught me. I am self-taught. As the saying goes, if you watch too much, you will. It should be "born", but I am always not good at playing cards and can play.

In my childhood memory, the greatest happiness of adults after a day's work and dinner is playing cards in groups of three or five. At that time, the winning chip was not money. Those who lose at cards will be punished: either drilling the table, drinking boiled water, squatting on the stool or sticking stickers on their faces. In short, winning or losing has nothing to do with money, only with fun. Winning is fun, losing is luck. Then, the game was over and everyone went home. On the way home, the stars have been shining. Maybe now you will think that such winning or losing chips are too childish and ridiculous. But at that time, in that place, this kind of cards that had nothing to do with gambling often contracted the jokes of that day, which eliminated the fatigue of the day and was far more comfortable than winning money.

When it rains, during the slack season, men, women and children, or sitting quietly in front of the porch, or looking for a place that doesn't get wet, even in the haystack upstairs in the cowshed, or even in the attic upstairs in the pigsty, can start playing cards. People call "playing cards" playing cards, but in fact "playing" is just a bluff. When playing cards, there is no sound at all. Everyone quietly touched the cards, quietly played cards, and quietly played cards. I especially like the comfort and comfort of this quiet flow of years.

Such a game of cards is in the warmth of the brazier in the middle of winter; In the sound of firecrackers during the Spring Festival; In the smoke of Tomb-Sweeping Day's sacrifice; In the starry summer, frogs are screaming and fireflies are flying; In the fragrance of fruits and vegetables, rich rice fragrance is harvested. From spring to winter, the four seasons cycle, is a card, from beginning to end witnessed our quiet good time, amazing good time.

When it comes to weddings and funerals, playing cards gives full play to the role of usurping the master. The beautiful bride at the wedding banquet has no time to peek, and the delicious food on the table has no time to chew slowly. Everyone tried to organize a card game in a hurry. Some cards are very good and particularly popular, and some cards are very poor, which is inevitable. But it doesn't matter. In the end, everyone can find their favorite card partner. Often, as soon as the wedding banquet for lunch is over, before the messy cups and plates on the table are removed, the "twenties and seventies" can't wait to appear, so they have been playing cards until dinner is served, and they are still wanting more. This is the simple happiness brought by playing cards.

Once upon a time, playing cards was related to money. And the chips are getting bigger and bigger. Too long, I don't know.

In short, when playing cards becomes a kind of gambling, it is really insulting. If it is really a "small bet", no problem, but it is often a "big bet". What's more, when he gambles, his eyes are red, his six relatives deny him, his family is ruined, and he is still addicted to it.

Zhuangzi said, "If things are not things, they will be gained and hated!" ! The words of a wise man often contain great wisdom.

People who live between heaven and earth are inevitably lonely, lonely, empty and indifferent. When you are bored, you can find one or two bosom friends, warm a pot of wine, make a cup of tea, chat and play cards. Isn't it beautiful? If you go against your original intention and aim at winning money, you will end up covered in copper stink and blushing. Is it always hard?

? To make matters worse, in the past two years, playing cards has become popular on mobile phones. A few irrelevant people, far and wide, hiding in the APP of mobile phone, playing in the dark, not knowing the sun. No communication, no jokes, only you lose and I win. Is this also called "playing cards"

Heaven is impermanent, and feng shui is reincarnation. Maybe one day in the future, we can go back to that innocent and beautiful card time.
