Mahjong was invented in that country.

Mahjong, which originated in China, is a game method invented by Han people in China.

At the same time that the horse brand was popular in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, an entertainment device called "playing cards" (also called Mohe brand) was derived from the horse brand. Cards are also played by four people. The card made of paper is two inches long and less than one inch wide. There are 60 cards at the beginning, which are divided into three colors: Qian Wen, Suozi and Wanguan. There are two cards in each of the three colors, and two cards in each of the first three colors (that is, China, Hair and White). When playing cards, four people each take ten cards first, and then take cards and play cards in turn. Three cards together are called a pair, and the person who has three pairs and one deck wins. The title of the medal is "He" (vulva). One family plays cards, and two or even three families say at the same time that the first one to get the card wins. These items and playing methods are very similar to today's mahjong tiles. This card game is always silent in the process of playing, so it is also called silent card.

Later, people felt that the number of cards was too small to play happily, so they put two decks together to form a deck of cards to play, and the number of cards became 120. In terms of gameplay, in addition to three cards connected together, three identical cards can also become a pair. In other words, you can touch the cards you have played while eating. At this time, the combinations of cards are "column" (connected with three numbers of the same door), "bump" (three are the same) and "open column" (four are the same). At this time, the cards are also called "touching cards".

At the same time, there is a kind of "collision and harmony" in the domino, and the brand color of 2 1 is matched with five Zhang Hecheng. And there are rules such as opening a bar, touching each other, playing with each other, cheating and being punished. These styles and terms of dominoes are also accepted and inherited by cards.

Around the end of the Qing Dynasty, four kinds of wind cards (four in each color) were added to the cards. The most commonly used table at that time was the square table, also called the square table. The name of the square table comes from the fact that eight people can sit at dinner. Always face one side when playing cards, limiting two people to one side. Gradually formed the custom of four people playing cards, each sitting on one side. People are also inspired by four directions, adding east, south, west and north winds to the cards.

As for the increase of "three yuan" cards, it may be people's yearning for promotion and wealth. Success is winning the bid (winning the bid, winning the bid, winning the first prize, called winning the bid). If you win the bid, you will naturally get rich. Whiteboard may mean blank and innocent.

Later, when people played mahjong, they often took all the cards away, and no one played them, which was disappointing. In order to make up for this shortcoming, listening comprehension has been increased. At first, I just added two pieces, and gradually developed into more pieces until it developed into a painted mahjong tile.
