How many tarot cards are there in a standard deck?

Generally speaking, there are two situations called tarot cards: one is 78 cards and the other is 22 cards. Some people say that 78 tarot cards are complete tarot cards and 22 are simplified or entry-level tarot cards, which is actually not completely correct. Next, what kind of cards can be called tarot cards?

Take 78 tarot cards as an example. They consist of two parts and three cards. First of all, let's introduce the difference between these two parts. Among the traditional 78 tarot cards (that is, before the Golden Dawn Revolution), 22 cards are design cards, which are called the main ackner cards, or simply the big cards. These 22 cards are usually marked as 1 to 265438+. In addition, there are 56 colored cards, called alker, or small cards for short. These 56 cards are divided into four colors. According to the traditional Marseille cards, they are scepter, holy grail, sword and coin, and each color has 14 cards.

In small cards, we can divide them into two parts. In each suit of 14 cards, there are digital cards (pip) from the number 1 to 10, which are represented by four different characters and are called court cards. According to the traditional Marseille brand, it is the king, queen, knight and waiter. Each of the four colors has 10 digital cards, so there are * * * 40 digital cards in the tarot card; And each of the four suits has four character cards, so there is 16 palace card in the tarot card.
