For example, the "tube" pattern is a gunpowder gun. Others say that the basic number of mahjong tiles is 108, representing the 108 heroes in the Water Margin, and the southeast, northwest and north-west represent that these heroes came from the southeast, northwest and north-west; and the middle-aged white people mean that some of these people are middle-class, some are high-ranking officials and noblemen, and some are of white-collar origins.
