Playing poker is an entertainment that can eliminate fatigue. The French say that charles vi, the French emperor in the14th century, was unhappy all day after his illness. A French scholar invented this card to cheer charles vi up. Belgians think that Belgian poker is earlier than France 13 years-1379 years. Recently, however, Carter, an authority on American printing history, believes that the earliest ancestor of playing cards is Ye Zi Opera in China in the Song Dynasty, and it was later brought to Europe by Kyle Polo. ...

Of course, playing cards are also used as gambling tools. Many people are fascinated by these 54 cards and even lose all their money.

But in any case, playing cards is more successful than ever. In the era of cultural backwardness, it once played the role of a textbook. French Cardinal Ma Chai Lin was worried that the young king Louis XIV was playful and didn't study hard, so he made up a set of "educational poker". There is also a playing card "K" with a map of Europe, "Q" with a map of France and "J" with a map of Spain. In addition, Greece, Britain, etc. Everyone has played poker, but they have actually achieved good results. Poker was once very popular in Europe.

The relationship between playing cards and calendars However, the calendar in astronomy is undoubtedly the best combination with playing cards. In fact, its evolution and development are influenced by the calendar. You see, a set of 54 playing cards and 52 real cards is exactly the number of weeks in a year; King and Xiao Wang represent the two most important celestial bodies in the sky: the sun and the moon. Look at its color, spades, red hearts, grass flowers and squares just represent four different seasons: spades represent young leaves sprouting and spitting green in spring, red hearts represent sweet peaches in summer, grass flowers are similar to yellow leaves, and squares represent sparkling ice in winter. The only two colors in the card are red and black, which symbolize the alternation of day and night: red stands for day and black stands for night.

Every season averages 13 weeks, so each suit has 13 cards. If j is 1 1, q is 12, k is 13, and a is 1, then the total points of each suit are1+2+3+...+1. If you encounter a leap year, you can add king points.

The general Gregorian calendar is arranged according to the apparent movement of the sun, which passes through the zodiac in turn in a year. There are just 65,438+02 big cards-J, Q and K, which just represent 65,438+02 constellations on the ecliptic: Pisces, Aries, Taurus (sun in spring), Gemini, Cancer, Lion (sun in summer), Virgo, Libra and Scorpio (sun in autumn).

Of course, calendars and playing cards can't be equated after all. For example, the "month" in the Gregorian calendar has no trace in playing cards. In fact, the "month" in the modern Gregorian calendar itself is somewhat "neither fish nor fowl". It has nothing to do with the rise and fall of the sun, and it does not match the profit and loss position of the moon. It is just an artificial medium-length unit of time. No wonder it should be ignored in poker.
