Who invented poker?

Poker is a card game, and there are many beautiful legends about its invention. According to legend, poker was invented in China. In the Song Dynasty, there was a kind of card drama called Ye Zi Opera in China. Later, foreign businessmen who came to China brought this card game to Europe. On the basis of "Ye Zi Xi" brand in China, the shrewd Venetian businessman has a unique eye and connects this card game with the calendar. He created a new card game according to the calendar. Because there are 52 weeks in a year, I made 52 cards, plus 54 cards of the king of size. According to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, four patterns of heart, square, plum blossom and spades are made. According to the difference between black and white in a day, the four colors of poker are black and red. * * * each color 13, representing each season 13 weeks. There are 12 cards with K, Q and J, which means that a year is divided into 12 months. The king represents the sun and the day, so it is red; Xiao Wang represents the moon, suggesting that night is coming, so it is black. If "J" is 1 1 min, "Q" is 12 min, "K" is 13 min, and "Xiao Wang" is 1 min, then the sum of the points of 53 cards is exactly equal to 365 points. If you add the "king" of 1 minute, it is the number of days in leap year. According to a file of Swiss monks kept by British Museum, poker was introduced to Switzerland from England in 1377. There were 56 cards and 22 decks at the beginning. By the middle of15th century, the number of cards had been reduced to 52, leaving only two cards in a deck. This is a popular English playing card-red, black and four groups of pictures. The four groups of patterns have their own figurative meanings: spades and olive leaves, symbolizing peace; Heart, heart, symbolizes wisdom and love; Diamonds, diamonds, symbolize wealth; Plum blossom and black clover symbolize luck and happiness. . Each group has 10 digital cards, one for K (king), one for Q (queen or queen) and one for J (jack, noble or knight). King David's spade K is depicted in the Bible, with a sword in his left hand; King of hearts. The picture shows the French emperor Charles I holding a sword in his left hand and pressing the edge of the royal dress in his right hand; Box K depicts Julius Caesar in ancient Rome, holding a hand-raising ceremony in the ancient Roman Empire, and the axe behind him is a symbol of power; The plum blossom K depicts the imperial status of Alexander the Great of Macedonia, with a sword in his left hand and soil in his right, obsessed with dominating the world. Q cards are all portraits of Elizabeth I with a rose. Some countries are also different: Q of spades, painted with Athena; Q of hearts, painted with Le Tiefu; Q, the portrait of Rachel, Jacob's wife in the Bible; Q of clubs depicts Magdalene, Samson's lover in the Bible. J of spades, Oz, knight of Charles I, holding a sword; J of hearts, soldier Keto holds a big axe in his left hand; Box J is Joan of Arc, a French "saint" with a sword; J of clubs is Lord Lenslow of Li Guang, China, with an arrow in his hand. As for the "big king" and "little king", they are often painted like King Henry VIII of England. In France, it was painted as King Charles I of France. Poker has been born for hundreds of years, and it is still inconclusive. The French believe that poker was invented by the French in 1392. Belgians said that playing cards appeared in Belgium as early as 1379; Italians say that poker was invented by Italians in 1376, and it was invented in Egypt, India, Korea and other countries, while more westerners confirm that China was introduced to Europe in 12- 13 century (Southern Song Dynasty). According to this statement, the country that first invented poker should be China. The model, specification and quantity of playing cards have developed from early different countries (such as 22 in Italy, 32 in Germany, 40 in Spain and 52 in France) to 54, which evolved from the 52-card model founded in France in 1392 and was enlarged by the outside world and Xiao Wang. Since then, the number of playing cards in various countries has gradually unified into the current 54-card model. From the initial "dot" screen to the colorful "color" as the background, it gradually evolved from a single entertainment function to a multifunctional and all-round cultural carrier screen landscape. People all over the world give different cultural explanations to the four colors with their own national cultures. The French understand the four colors as spear, square, clove leaf and red heart; Germans understand the four colors as leaves, bells, acorns and hearts. Italians understand the four colors as swords, coins, crutches and wine glasses; The Swiss understand the four colors as acorns, bells, flowers and shields; The British understand the four colors as shovel, diamond, clover and red heart. There have been many opinions about the color of playing cards. There are two kinds of centralized views: one is that these four colors represent the four major industries of society at that time, among which spades represent spears and symbolize soldiers; Plum blossoms represent clover flowers and symbolize agriculture; Square represents bricks used by craftsmen; The heart represents the heart and symbolizes the priest. On the other hand, these four colors come from the patterns of ancient European divination tools, in which spades represent olive leaves and symbolize peace; Plum blossom is a four-leaf clover, which means good luck; The square is a diamond, symbolizing wealth; The heart shape symbolizes wisdom and love. The 54 patterns of playing cards are also wonderful to explain: the king represents the sun, Xiao Wang represents the moon, and the remaining 52 cards represent 52 weeks in a year; Heart-shaped, diamond, plum blossom and spades symbolize spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively. There are 13 cards in each suit, which means there are 13 weeks in each season. If J, Q and K are regarded as 1 1, 12, 13 points, then the king and Xiao Wang are half points, and the total number of points in a deck of playing cards is exactly 365 points. In leap years, Wang and Wang calculate 1 point and ***366 points respectively. Experts generally believe that the above explanation is not a coincidence, because the design and invention of playing cards are inextricably linked with astrology, divination, astronomy and calendar. The word "poker" is a transliteration of the English word "poker", which is a simple writing of the word "playing card", meaning playing cards or game cards. According to research, the hometown of poker is China, which originated from Ye Zi Opera in China. Zhang Sui, a famous astronomer in the Tang Dynasty (a group of monks) invented Yezixi, which is called Yezixi because cards are only as big as leaves. Ouyang Xiu, a writer in the Song Dynasty, also recorded in the Record of Returning to the Field: "The books in the Tang Dynasty were all scrolls, followed by leaves, and their system was similar to today's policy. If the characters are ready for inspection, the scroll size will help to write them with leaves. " It is not difficult to see from the words at that time that literati played word games with leaves and gradually developed into leaf games. Later, Kyle Poirot brought this ancient and magical word game to Europe. Therefore, poker is an international game with the largest number of players, and it is a combination of eastern and western cultures and human wisdom. What is the origin of poker color? After poker was introduced into Europe, countries gave different understandings and explanations to the four colors in combination with their own national cultures. Germans understand leaves, bells, acorns and hearts. Italians understand it as a sword, coins, crutches and wine glasses. The Swiss understand it as acorns, bells, flowers and shields. The Spanish understand it as a sword, a coin, a wine glass and an olive branch. Until today, we can still see these playing cards all over the world. However, the patterns of spades, diamonds, clubs and hearts created by the French in 1392 have been recognized by all countries in the world and gradually unified.
