The close relationship between playing cards and calendars

Many people will use playing cards for various games and entertainment activities, but I'm afraid few people know the history of playing cards. Poker is the epitome of a calendar.

Of the 54 cards, 52 are genuine cards, indicating that there are 52 weeks in a year; Two are decks, the king represents the sun and Xiao Wang represents the moon; Spring, summer, autumn and winter are represented by peaches, hearts, plums and squares respectively, with the center and squares representing the day and spades and plums representing the night.

Each season is thirteen weeks, and each suit in poker is exactly thirteen cards; Ninety-one days per season, thirteen cards add up to exactly ninety-one days. Add up the dots of four colors, plus Xiao Wang's dots, and it is 365. If you add the king point, it happens to be the number of days in a leap year.

The twelve cards of J, Q and K *** in poker not only represent the twelve months in a year, but also represent the twelve constellations that the sun passes through in a year.

The four colors in playing cards have different meanings: spades symbolize olive leaves and represent peace; The heart is heart-shaped, indicating wisdom; Plum blossoms are black and have three leaves, which are derived from clover; The diamonds represent diamonds and wealth. These four colors are people's best wishes in a year.
