Which country invented playing cards?

There are two theories about the origin of playing cards. One was invented by Zhang Sui, an astronomer in the Tang Dynasty. Because playing cards are only as big as leaves, they were originally called "leaf play". 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 nobles, 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.

There is another saying. According to legend, as early as the battle between Chu and Han at the end of Qin Dynasty, General Han Xin invented a card game to relieve soldiers' homesickness. Because these cards are only the size of leaves, they are called "Ye Zi Xi".
