Common playing cards, what secrets are hidden inside?

Playing cards are varied and interesting, and the history of playing cards is also interesting. When playing cards were born, there is never an accurate statement. According to a research that can't be verified, playing cards originated from Ye Zi Opera in ancient China, then spread to countries in Central Asia and West Asia along the Silk Road, and then spread to Europe, becoming a popular game in all countries. However, this is only speculation. The most well-founded view is that it originated in Europe from 1 1 to 12. However, this view does not have enough realistic basis, so the real origin of playing cards is still a secret.

? The reason why playing cards have such great charm is not only because of their various ways of playing, but also because of their rich contents in terms of quantity, color and printing. When you really know them, you can't help but marvel.

First of all, judging from the number of a complete deck of playing cards, a deck of playing cards has 54 cards. After removing the king of size, there are 52 cards left, which is exactly the number of all weeks in a year. The remaining king of size can just represent the sun and the moon. The points of 52 cards add up to 364, and one king is 365 days in a normal year, and two kings are leap year days. Besides, points are points for a single suit.

Let's take a look at four designs, a *** 12 JQK print, taking the number K as an example. Among them, K of Spades is said to be the second king of Israel in the Hebrew Bible and the ancestor of Jesus. K of hearts is Charlemagne, the king of Franks, whom we may be more familiar with. He ruled almost all of Western Europe in the Middle Ages. The seal on the plum blossom K is Alexander the Great, King of Macedonia. He is the god of war in European history and has never lost in his life. The king of diamonds is Julius Caesar. You may not know this man, but you must have heard of his domineering saying: I came, I saw, I conquered? .

So some people say that a deck of playing cards condenses half the history of Europe. From this perspective, it makes more or less sense.
