Poker has a long history. People only know that poker originated in foreign countries and Europe. In fact, paper toys originated in China.
As early as the beginning of the week, the young man and his younger brother once played the game of "cutting tung leaves into reeds" in the palace. Paper had not been invented at that time, so leaves were used as toys. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, our ancestors invented a kind of card, which can be played and gambled, and it was called "Ye Zi Xi". It is also said that General Han Xin invented a card for entertainment in the army in order to alleviate the homesickness of soldiers. Because it is only the size of a leaf, it is called Yezixi. From bachelor of arts to ordinary people, they are always happy.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "Ye Zi Xi" had 40 cards in each deck, which were divided into four categories. There are many patterns on the card, including people, birds, animals, flowers, birds, insects, fish and so on. From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, playing cards were about 8 cm long and 2 cm wide, so people called them playing cards. Before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, card gambling was still popular in Chaoshan area, and the gameplay gradually diversified from simple arrangement. Each card is printed with numbers ranging from 1 to 10, or with 32 Chinese characters "handsome, official, handsome, car, etc.". In chess, there are 64 cards in red, green, black and white.

In the future, there will be 52 international playing cards in each deck, plus two wild cards (also known as kings or children) and 54 cards. At this point, the design and color, the number of points and the patterns of K, Q and J on the playing cards are basically finalized.
Playing cards are divided into four colors, namely spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. Four colors have different names. The French call it "spear, heart, square and clove leaf", the Germans call it "leaf, heart, bell and acorn" and the Italians call it "sword, coin, stick and wine glass".
Later, according to the calendar in astronomy, westerners unified the content of this card game, which was set at 54 cards and four colors. In this way, after a long period of evolution, it gradually tends to be consistent.
