Which suit is the biggest in playing cards?

In poker, spades are the biggest, hearts are the second, clubs are the third and diamonds are the smallest.

Judging from the meaning and rules of western traditional poker, spades are the biggest. Their standard size order is: spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. You can see that spades are the only big pattern in the A card.

The purpose of drawing spades comes from the anti-counterfeiting vouchers used by early western countries to prevent others from impersonating. However, when poker entered the East, especially after it was integrated into China culture, the order of size changed. Because China people have always worshipped red, the status of red heart has become the first in domestic poker. There are many ways to play poker in different parts of the motherland, but the red heart is the biggest.

The origin of playing cards:

One theory was invented by Zhang Sui, an astronomer in the Tang Dynasty. It was originally called "Ye Zi Xi" because the card is only as big as a leaf. Ouyang Xiu, a writer in the Song Dynasty, also recorded "Ye Xixi" in the Record of Returning to the Field, which was developed from word games. During the Yuan Dynasty, Kyle Polo traveled to China and served as an official in the court of China for a long time. He has a close relationship with the upper intellectuals and learned this game.

Later it spread to Europe. At first, it was only a luxury of the nobility, but it soon became popular among the people because of its low cost, diverse gameplay and easy learning. Europeans improved the card game according to their own culture and traditions, and finally "playing cards" appeared.
