What is tarot?

The word "TaRot" is taken from Egyptian characters "tar" and "ro", which means "king". So "Tarot" refers to the wisdom and decision-making ability that a king should have. In the past, tarot cards were not divined in the form of cards, but only a book dedicated to conveying God's will. When Lao Wang has any doubts, he can use the knowledge of this book to solve the problem. Later, because the Egyptian dynasty was destroyed, in order to prevent this mysterious book from falling into the hands of different nationalities, it was drawn in the form of pictures. Later it was spread to Europe by Alexander, and the so-called tarot cards were formed around the Middle Ages. Tarot cards are very popular in Germany and Italy. However, not many people have studied the history of tarot cards. It was not until 178 1 that the French writer Courtde Gebelin wrote Monde Primitif that the information of tarot cards was mentioned. He is a Protestant theologian from the south of France, devoted to unsolved ancient legends and primitive languages. Because Tarot was mentioned in the book, he became famous in later generations. Later, a librarian of the Paris Ministry of Education named Jean-Baptiste PieTheus wrote a book "The History of Magic" under the name of Paul Christian. It is mentioned that there are 22 patterns on the wall of the underground passage of the ancient Egyptian pyramid, which proves that these 22 tarot cards came from the ancient Egyptian dynasty. Although this is considered as a Christian guess, since then, the design of tarot cards has spread rapidly in Europe, and new designs have been continuously developed. For example, an Englishman, A.E. Waite, translated Pappus's books, and Pamela Coleman Smith helped him to print different designs he designed. After years of evolution, designers have different styles, so the order or patterns of many cards are very different from the original version of Goebbelin, or even completely different! In Goblin's book, he clearly describes the design of each tarot card. He believes that these 22 trump cards represent the social atmosphere and customs in Europe at that time, and the other 56 small cards are also related to social class. The above tarot pictures are not from Egypt. Because Egypt was still a mysterious place in Goebbels' time, there were many mysteries worth exploring. In fact, many evidences show that these cards are remnants of an educational card game in the Middle Ages, which was used to teach people patterns. Tarot cards are quite common in eastern Europe, but their patterns are different from what we usually see: they include 2/kloc-0 digital cards and a non-digital card. This non-digital card is a clown or a fool, and the musician on the first trump card may be associated with the "magician"; The second trump card has a giant eagle on the rock; Other cards, like modern Italian tarot cards, have Augustus designs on both ends. This card can be used for divination like other tarot cards, and it also has its own history and tradition. Today, we have 22 trump cards and four sets of 14 cards, which have evolved over time and come from different sources. For centuries, users of tarot cards have often given it far-reaching significance, and many designers of tarot cards will modify their patterns with the same mentality, which may make some traditional tarot cards obsolete, but indirectly give them irreplaceable power in the torrent of the times.
