Inventions have different popularity in different countries. Italians say that the Venetians invented playing cards first in the world. Ancient Venetian merchants went out to do business and invented playing cards to calculate the date and amuse themselves. The Frenchman said: Poker was designed by a scholar in 1392 to entertain the mentally ill French emperor charles vi. The Belgian said: As early as 1379, playing cards appeared in Belgium. However, there is a document of a Swiss monk in the British Museum, which records that playing cards were spread to Switzerland in 1377. ? Some people abroad think that playing cards should be invented by China people. Because in the Song Dynasty in China, a kind of "Ye Zi Xi" brand (called "Ye Zi Brand") was popular among the people, and its size was two fingers. The "leaf card" with a length of 8 cm and a width of 2.5 cm is made of silk and paper, and the pattern is printed by woodcut. They believe that this kind of playing cards was spread abroad by businessmen and missionaries in the Ming Dynasty or the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Inspired by this, it was transformed into a popular playing card in the west.
Poker culture Poker is divided into four colors:
Spades, diamonds, clubs and hearts. People all over the world give different cultural explanations to the four colors with their own national cultures. China people understand the four colors as spring, summer, autumn and winter. The French understand the four colors as spear, square, clove leaf and red heart; Germans understand the four colors as leaves, bells, acorns and hearts. Italians understand the four colors as swords, coins, crutches and wine glasses; The Swiss understand the four colors as acorns, bells, flowers and shields; The British understand the four colors as shovel, diamond, clover and red heart.
Every Facebook card is different. (The so-called Facebook card refers to what we call J, Q, K, and Joker can also be added. ) Let's talk about a king represented by K in history: Xin K, Charlemagne of the Frankish Empire. His hair was curled in. Because the stereotypes at that time were all made of wood, a stylist at that time accidentally carved the beard of Charlemagne, so King Xin K was the only one among the four kings without a beard. Diamond K represents Julius Caesar, the German king of the Roman Empire in history. His hair is curly and his weapon is an axe. Because his statue is one-sided, he is the only one-sided king on the card. K of clubs stands for Alexander the Great, king of Macedonia, and K of spades stands for King David, king of Israel.

Let's start with Q: Diamond Q stands for Rachel. In the Bible, she is Joseph's sister. Heart Q stands for Julius. According to legend, she is a brave queen, and the red heart itself represents courage. Q of spades stands for Athena. I believe everyone is familiar with her, and she has appeared in many stories of Greek mythology. It symbolizes wisdom, and love also symbolizes war, so she is the only queen with weapons in poker Q. Finally, Club Q represents Queen Elizabeth I of England. When America was sparsely populated, she had ruled Britain.
The four Qs have similarities and differences: they all hold a flower in their hands, but their hair and clothes are quite different. If you look carefully, you will find it easily. ...
Different jacks represent brave soldiers behind different kings.
There are also two jokes on the Facebook card, one big and one small. I believe everyone knows their uses, so they are also called Jokers in many places.
