Where did playing cards originate?

Poker originated in the East. It was inspired by China's playing cards and was introduced to Europe by businessmen and soldiers. Early playing cards were made by hand, and only princes and nobles could play them. With the development of printing, playing cards are made more and more widely, so that playing cards spread among the masses. There were three popular playing cards at that time: 78 cards, 50 cards and 40 cards. After a long evolution, 54 copies have been formed today. Playing poker is not only the best pastime and entertainment, but also like all kinds of chess activities, it can promote interpersonal communication, activate brain function, cultivate people's character and cultivate healthy interests. Playing cards are cheap, easy to carry, easy to identify, unlimited in quantity, unlimited in venue, and diverse in play, suitable for all ages. Therefore, it is the most popular and favorite entertainment tool for the public. Percentage: The game of "playing percentage" needs 4 people, and the game is played in groups of 2 people. Wang is the biggest, Xiao Wang is the second, and A is the third. When there is no 2, 2 is the smallest (when there is 2, 2 is greater than A). Four k's and four 10 are 10 points, and four 5' s are 5 points, making a total of 100 points. When playing, people in the same group sit opposite each other (that is, "opposite the door" or "opposite the door"), each person is given 12 cards, and there are 6 cards left. At this time, the bidding begins (or "seeking cards"). The dealer needs to call first, starting from 60 (or determined by both parties). If the card is not good, don't take it. Take turns to bid counterclockwise, and add at least 5 points for each bid until 100 points. If the bid reaches a certain point (such as 70 points), others will not bid, that is, stop bidding. The person with the highest score takes the card and exchanges it with the card in his hand. Before tying cards (or burying or deducting cards), you should choose a house number as the master card (or main card) before you can play. The last bidder is the first to play, and the cards played by the people behind should be the same as those played by the first person. If there are no cards of the same suit, you can play another main card (such as king and Xiao Wang) or a secondary card. Every lap, if it is a group of non-bid cards, take out the score card (k,10,5) among the four cards. Whoever wins this round of cards has the right to play the next round After the card is played, if the player who wants the card is called 80 points, the player who doesn't want the card will get 25 points. If the player who wants them is "broken", the score will be negative (-80) and the player who doesn't want them will be positive (+25). If the unpopular party only gets 20 points or less, the important party is "Cheng" and both parties count as positive points. If the unwanted party doesn't get a score, the score of this circle is zero, and the wanted party is 200. If the unpopular party scores 50 points or more, the score can be multiplied by 2; If the unwanted party plays the last round of cards with the main card bigger than the opponent, it is called "bargain hunting". The score of the selected card is added to the score of that card and then multiplied by 3 as the score of the unwanted party. In this way, the first person to reach the specified score (500 or 1000) wins.
