Why is the design of spades A in playing cards quite complicated?

If you pay attention when playing poker, you will find that among the four aces, the pattern of spades A is the most unique and largest, with little-known historical allusions.

The history of spades a

There is great controversy about the invention of poker. Among them, it is generally believed that poker evolved from the French Luo brand and was introduced to Europe in the13 ~14th century. /kloc-in the 0/8th century, playing cards became very popular in Europe and became an important social activity.

At this time, the Englishman ZF couldn't sit still. I think since the usage of playing cards is huge, it would be best if tax can be extracted from it, so I formulated a new tax to collect taxes from manufacturers, named? Poker tax? You know, taxation is pulling the most goose feathers and listening to the least goose crowing.

However, ZF in Britain did not collect taxes directly, but thought of a way to force spades A to be printed only by the government, then sold to manufacturers at a high price, and then integrated into a deck of playing cards by manufacturers and distributed to the market. At first, because Spade A was too simple, some manufacturers secretly forged Spade A to avoid taxes. Later, in order to prevent counterfeiting, ZF in Britain gradually designed Spades A to be more complicated and the pattern became bigger and bigger. Later, the complex pattern of spades A has been used to this day.

In many playing cards, except the king of size, the ace of spades is regarded as the biggest card. In 2003, Americans invented the wanted card of poker, and the trump card of Spades A was Saddam Hussein.

Poker cold knowledge

In playing cards, there is a lot of cold science knowledge, such as the following:

(1) There are 52 cards, representing 52 weeks in a year, and two cards (king and king) represent the sun and the moon.

(2) Playing cards always have two colors, red and black, which represent day and night respectively.

(3) The four colors of playing cards, spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds, represent spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively.

(4) Each suit has 13 cards, representing a season with 13 weeks, and the sum of points of each suit is 9 1, representing a season with 9 1 day.

(5) The sum of all the real points is 364, with one Wang representing 365 days in a normal year and one Wang representing 366 days in a leap year.

(6) J, Q and K of playing cards represent Jack, Queen and King respectively.

(7) Of the four K's, only the character in the red heart K has no beard, because the red heart K represents Charlemagne in France, and the war between Britain and France lasted for many years, so the British removed the beard of the character in the red heart K to show their contempt for Charlemagne.
