Origin of Mahjong

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, when Mahjong was popular, it gave rise to a kind of recreational equipment called "paper tiles" (also known as "silent peace tiles"). Cards are also for four people to play, made of paper cards two inches long, less than an inch wide. Tiles start **** there are 60, divided into three suits of money, Suozi, Wan Guan, its three colors are one to nine each two, and the other two of the three colors of the youngest head (i.e., mahjong tiles in the middle, hair, white) each two.

When playing mahjong, each of the four players takes ten tiles first, and then the tiles are taken and played in turn. The first three cards in a row are called a deck, and the one who has three decks plus a pair of cards is the winner. A winning hand is called a "he" (pronounced hú, ㄨˊ). When one player plays a card and two or even three players tell him/her at the same time, the one who gets the first card wins the game. These tiles and the way they are played are much like today's mahjong tiles. This kind of card game is always silent in the process of playing, so it is also called the silent peace card.
