- Mahjong is a strategy game
- The basic goal is to find out a specific card type
and prevent opponents from achieving the same
purpose.
- Playing mahjong should focus on skills,
strategies and calculations, but also involves luck.
• According to the “Game History” ( written by F
engming Cai ), the following are two version
s of origins of Mahjong :
• 1.
It originated in “Six Bo.” of the Qin dynasty. Bot
h players have six chess pieces,including six bl
ack and six red,along with six dice , so it is cal
led "six-Bo.“
• 2.
There is another saying that it is derived from a
sign hanging on horses. In the Chinese novel’
Golden Lotus’ , it has a statement about fightin
g for hanging on horses. The amount of the sig
ns is 40 , and it has four kinds of patterns
• It was a period that mahjong was popular.
• The design of it is related to a man whose na
me is 萬秉迢 ( wàn tong tiao ) .He liked th
e Chinese novel “All Men Are Brothers”very
much , so he defined new meanings to 108 t
iles just as 108 heros written in the novel.
• The tiles Winds(Winter , Spring , Summer , Fall) come from the story that 108 heros went to
the same place in all directions.
• And the patterns of mahjong included Characters
( 萬 ) 、 Stones ( 筒 ) 、 Bamboos ( 條 ),which
derived from his name wàn bing Tiao (萬秉迢 )
• Some of 108 heros are poor , and some are
wealthy, so ( 發) and (白 ) in Dragons imply
rich and poor respectively. Afterwards , the
tiles of flowers and seasons are added in.
• This is the development of mahjong
nowadays. Total tiles amount to 144.
• Each game set contains:
• three ‘simple’ suits (stones, characters,
and bamboos)
• two ‘ honor ’ suits (winds and dragons)
• two optional suits ( flowers and seasons )
• Stones (also called wheels or circles)
• These tiles feature one to nine round shapes
on each tile (similar to the face of a dice).
The round shapes represent a 筒 (tóng), a
coin with a square hole in the middle.
• Characters (also called numbers, thousands or coins)
• These tiles have pattern 萬 (wàn), which
means 10,000 , along with the Chinese
numbers from one to nine.
• Bamboos (also called sticks)
• These tiles have bamboos which represent
the strings ( 條 ) that ancient copper coins
were strung in sets of 100 ( 弔 ) or 1,000
coins ( 貫 ).
• But the number‘one’ does not have
bamboo on it. Instead, it has a bird sitting
on a bamboo, so this set is sometimes
also called ‘bird.’
• Flowers and seasons
• This set of eight tiles featuring pictures of
flowers is optional suit.
• Flowers can also help players earn extra
points.
• The eight tiles include four tiles
representing the four seasons:
winter , spring , summer and fall
• The other four tiles represent the four
plants: bamboo( 竹 ), chrysanthemum
( 菊 ), orchid ( 蘭花 ), and plum ( 梅 )
• Winds
• Each of the tiles features different
directions: East Wind ( 東 ) , South Wind
( 南 ), West Wind( 西 ), and North
Wind( 北 ).
• Dragons
• This threesome has several meanings
which are derived from the ancient
imperial exam, archery, and Confucius’
cardinal virtues.
