I. The Origin of Poker

Poker is a popular entertainment tool around the world, played under many names. Poker is its standard name, taken from English poker.

In general, it is widely believed that poker originated from French tarot cards and is a product of the long evolution of French tarot cards. The earliest playing cards were introduced to Europe in the late 14th century.

Before the 18th century, the largest card in playing cards was the K, and the smallest card was the a. After the 18th century,

The earliest playing cards were not standardized around the world, with 78 cards in Italy, 32 cards in Germany, 40 cards in Spain, and 52 cards in France. Afterwards, France added a king and a king on the basis of the original playing cards,**** 54 cards. So far, the international standard of playing cards was born, not only limited to the number of cards, the color and pattern of playing cards in various countries is also consistent.

A closer look will reveal that there are 12 playing cards in a full set of playing cards, and the colors are different from the rest. Why is this so? What is so special about these 12 playing cards?

The 12 playing cards are J, Q, K, 4 of each type. The reason why they are different from the other playing cards is that all the other cards have ordinary colors, while these 12 cards are printed with images of people.

The secret of the two K's.

In the series of K's, diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs are printed with different images of people. k is the abbreviation of King. So in honor of the King, a series of playing cards with the K was formed.

The figure on the K of diamonds is Julius Caesar of the former Roman Empire. In a sense, he was a true hero. Caesar had made a name for himself by leading his subjects in the conquest of Gaul in eight years, and also attacking the Germanic countries and Britain. In Europe, Julius Caesar used to be a god-like being and was infinitely admired by the people. After his army conquered Rome, he practiced dictatorship. In 44 B.C., Caesar was 56 years old when he was assassinated and died tragically.

The figure on the K of Hearts is Charlemagne. During his 14-year reign, he waged more than 50 wars, annexed almost all of Europe, and established the vast Charlemagne empire. He had an indelible impact on the history, military and economy of Europe. He introduced civilization from Europe, shifted the center of culture from the Mediterranean Sea to the Rhine River, and is known as the "Father of Europe".

The figure on the plum blossom is the military wizard Alexander the Great. Together with Julius Caesar, Napoleon and Hannibal, he was one of the four great commanders of Europe. His territory spanned Asia from Greece to the Indus Valley. Alexander the Great showed remarkable ability at a young age. When he was 12 years old, he saw a horse that no one else could tame. Alexander the Great simply walked up to it, whispered a few words to the horse, and the horse was successfully tamed by him.

The character on the king of spades is King David. He was the second monarch of Israel and established the unified Kingdom of Israel. He led the Kingdom of Israel to prosperity and y influenced the Jewish people. As the saying goes, a hero has many women around him in his life. Micaiah was one of them. As King Saul's daughter, Michal helped David a lot in the war between David and King Saul. David was captured by King Saul and Michal tricked her father into helping him escape. Later, Michal was forced by her father to remarry. During their time together, Misha grew to love her new husband. However, after escaping the adversity, David insisted on finding Micah back, breaking up Micha and his later husband.

The k-series playing cards are centered around the king only. As we can clearly see, the emperors in the poker are people who have done great things for their countries and even the world. Whether they are emperors who started wars and made crazy annexations, or emperors who established a unified country, or emperors who had far-reaching influence on all aspects of the country's politics, economy, culture and military, they are all heroes of a country and a nation.

q taken from the Queen of England, the former Queen.

The character on the Q of Hearts is called Zhu Di Si, a great hero of Israel. She saved all of Jerusalem and Israel by seducing an enemy general invading Jerusalem with a beauty trick and assassinating him while he was off guard.

The character on the Plum Q is Queen Agni. She mentions a war in England. The descendants of King Edward III, the Lancasters and the Yorks, also known as the Red Rose and the White Rose, vied for the throne and the war brought great disaster to the people. The people who started the war finally realized the cruelty of the war and eventually ended it through the intermarriage of Henry VII of the House of Lancaster and Elizabeth of the House of York. To commemorate the war, England adopted the rose as its national flower, and the Queen of Aquinas, who holds the rose on the poker, is a figure created by later designers to commemorate the war, and is a symbol of the war's advocacy of peace.

The Q of spades is the famous goddess Athena, who is the embodiment of beauty and wisdom, the highest pursuit of every beautiful young woman, and the most beautiful goddess in every man's heart. In ancient Greco-Roman mythology, Athena's status is very high.

Q's character is Rachel, said to be the most beautiful woman in Israel. Jacob came to Rachel's house when she was fleeing and the two fell in love at first sight. However, Rachel's father demanded that Jacob herd sheep for seven years before marrying Rachel. In order to marry this woman, Jacob literally shepherded a shepherdess for seven years, but eventually Rachel's father tricked Rachel's sister into marrying him. So it took Jacob another seven years before he finally got what he wanted, seeing as how beautiful Rachel was.

The characters in the Q series are all female representatives. Whether they are symbols of wisdom and beauty, personifications of defusing war, or people who have made great contributions to the country, they all have their own unique aspects and are worth remembering.

Four, the secret of j.

J is taken from English Jack, a knight and a prince.

The character of the square is Hexal, the first warrior of Troy. His military abilities were outstanding. He used to be the steel wall of Troy, protecting the peace of Troy. Later, he died tragically in the war.

The character of J of Hearts was Rahel, the commander of the Anglo-French war, who led the battle of Patty to victory. He was the king's best aide and had helped France defeat the British and regain lost territory.

Plum's character is Lancelot. He was King Arthur's knight, handsome, graceful and an archer. He and King Arthur fought over an affair with the queen. Later, in order to confess his sins, Lancelot sincerely repented and became a monk.

The character of the Jack of Spades is Ogier, the son of Denmark's first Christian king. In the 8th century AD, Charlemagne attacked Denmark. As a hostage, he was sent to Charlemagne's palace as a bodyguard. Later, he accidentally killed Charlemagne's daughter and escaped back to Denmark. Charlemagne marched again, and Ogier led the resistance for seven years.

In our eyes, knights will always be heroes who can guard a place and some people. Wherever you go, you will feel safe with a knight who will always be behind you, watching over you.

V.

The historical figures on playing cards have made great contributions to the progress of mankind. A ****same object of printing them on playing cards is to let more people know about them and their heroic deeds, and at the same time to remember them, so that they will always exist in people's minds.

Poker is the crystallization of human wisdom, is the product of human entertainment. It relaxes the mind and body to a certain extent and makes people mentally happy; on the other hand, it is the condensation of human greed and darkness and a symbol of gambling. The impact of playing cards has never been both favorable and unfavorable. As to how to avoid the harms and play to the advantage, you have to think about it.

No matter how the wheel of history rolls forward, heroes will never be forgotten. On the contrary, after the precipitation of history, the spirit of heroes will be everlasting.

A promising nation cannot be separated from its heroes, and a promising country cannot be separated from its pioneers.
