Don't underestimate that 140 dead mahjong tile (several flowers), which contains a lot of knowledge and philosophy of being a man, and it is also the philosophy of China people. First of all, the rules of mahjong, four people sitting around a table and taking turns sitting in the village, have equal opportunities, which embodies the principle of fairness in our traditional culture in China. Although in China's traditional culture, the emperor is the most important and the nobility is the most respected, at the mahjong table, everyone is equal and must abide by the rules. Mahjong not only has this principle, but also pays attention to eating, touching and bumping. The so-called eating refers to what we usually say. For example, if you have two or three cards in your hand, you can eat one or four, and so on, that is, three adjacent cards can eat, but touching is relatively simple, that is, two identical cards can touch another identical card, and the so-called touching means that three identical cards can touch the fourth card. This is the general rule of mahjong. Mahjong has different rules in different places. For example, Taiwan Province province uses 16 card, and Chinese mainland uses 13 card. Even in Chinese mainland, there are many different ways to play mahjong. For example, Sichuan Mahjong, which we are familiar with, is not allowed to eat, but can only be touched, and it needs a door. And Wuhan Mahjong, which we often play. This is just the way to play mahjong. Let's talk about its game skills, when to eat and when to touch. This is not difficult to understand, the so-called tight home and touch the right door. Sometimes, the cards in your hand are obviously useless to you, but you can't play them because you know that playing them may be beneficial to your family. Therefore, you would rather lose the game than let others win. This is mahjong. In fact, this is also a characteristic of China people. It's a little reactionary, but it is. Mahjong has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, which will affect our daily behavior to a certain extent, even if I have a bad life, I will not let you have a good life. Of course, this is negative. Does mahjong have no positive influence? Of course, there are also people who play mahjong well.

If a person plays mahjong well, then he must be a very excellent talent, because mahjong combines various factors, not only depending on the cards in his hand, but also on the cards played by his opponent. All these require a series of complicated brains. In addition, to learn to cheat in mahjong, you need to know what kind of card you want, what kind of card you can play to your opponent, and so on. Fairness in mahjong. Mahjong is fair. Each card has four cards, which is fair to everyone. And unlike poker, four must be greater than three, five must be greater than four, and so on.
