"I'll do it!" Wang Mu put down the script, but he couldn't stand the temptation of the national treasures at all.

There is no mahjong in this hotel. An assistant went downstairs to buy a pair. Everyone talked about how to play, and then they started to "rattle".

...

"eat!"

...

"bump!"

...

Qu Ying soon discovered a problem. He played a picture of nine and said, "Did you pay attention to this mahjong cake, strip, and the shape of Wan is different from the traditional ones!"

"It's true, Brother Ying is careful, I didn't even notice it."

"Yeah, really!"

This "nine bars" are just nine "vertical bars". In the traditional "bars" of color, each "bar" has texture.

Li Fan said: "I have discovered this card for a long time. It cannot be called mahjong at all! This is a completely insult to the national treasures, and it is a nonsense to change it! A normal 'bar' must have texture on it, otherwise it will lose its own historical heritage."

Gu Yating, who was standing by watching the battle, rolled her eyes when she heard this, saying, "This gambler, this nonsense gambler!"

Everyone was puzzled:

“Then why must there be texture?”

"Yes, why is this?"

Li Fan said: "Because, this 'bar' is an abstract picture, and the pattern prototype of the 'bar' is a barn, which is a side view of the barn. That is to say, we stand and look at a barn, and then planarize the cylinder, which is a rectangle with texture. And those textures are the patterns formed by ligating the mats layer by layer."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, only Gu Yating curled his lips.

Qu Ying asked curiously: "Then why is there no one, but she uses a yaoji to replace its position?"

When this question was thrown out, everyone was curiously raising their ears, and even the few people who were busy playing games cast a "seeking knowledge" look.

"Good question! Let me tell you: Yaoji replaced 'one', and the reason is of course because the Cangguan hated the sparrow that stole the food.

Since ancient times, as the most important strategic material, food has strict regulations on custody, and the loss of food storage is also strictly limited. Once the loss exceeds the regulations, the head will be lost.

However, the old grain and wet grain have to be dried, and there are too many sparrows in the barn. Not only do they come to "grab grain", they even repair their nests in barns and raise groups of next generations. Then the warehouse of grain disappeared because they gave birth to sparrows.

In mahjong, a (barn) was replaced by a sparrow (yao chicken). Moreover, the sparrow pattern gradually evolved into ayao chicken. Ayao chicken, half a bird and half a chicken, both animals eat food.

Replacing 'Yaoji' with 'Yaoji' also reflects how much the warehouse managers hate the sparrows, and use this to remind themselves."

Everyone's knowledge increased significantly.

Gu Yating continued to whine his mouth, thinking nonsense!

Chen Fang shouted while playing games: "Where is the style 'cake'?"

Li Fan said: "Bihe, it was originally called "tube". It is an ancient dialect, "granary treasure" means, and "tube" is a top view directly above it, which means "tube" is an abstract screenshot.

In ancient times, when storing grain, people used mats to form a barrel-shaped column space, and the grain was stored inside. In order to prevent rain leakage, two circles of straw mats were formed with concentric circles on the top.

Therefore, looking down from directly above the granary, the abstract thing we see is one ‘tube’, two granaries are two ‘tubes’, and so on.

The reason why the 'tube' later became a 'cake' was because of the errors that arise during the mahjong flowing to the south."

Wang Mu took out an "80,000" and slapped it on the table, saying, "What about ten thousand?"

"This 'Ten Thousand'," Li Fan pushed the card in his hand and said, "This 'Ten Thousand', I'm not going to be so stupid! Get the money!"

At this time, Li Fan called and he got up and went out to answer the call.

Qu Ying picked her thumbs up and smiled, "This is the real expert in playing mahjong!"

"I didn't expect that a small mahjong placard was also quite interesting."

...

When Li Fan returned indoors again, He Huan had already made up her position.

Well, go out for a walk by yourself.

"Gu Yating, go to the night market?"

"OK!"

The two of them came out together, and took advantage of the beautiful weather with the stars, and chatted while walking and walked to the center square.

"Actually, those you just talked about are all wrong. I will save face for so many people. I don't have the nerve to expose you."

Li Fan looked at the young man dancing in the middle of the square and smiled and said, "Is that so? Hey, how do you think they are dancing?"

"Not really!" Gu Yating decided to let Li Fan realize her mistake, and urgently hoped that Li Fan could realize it! In that case, she would finally be able to step on Li Fan, the stinky brat, making him always look like "knowing everything in the world"! Humph!!

Gu Yating said: "Hey, I said the origin of mahjong you just mentioned is wrong. Can you listen to me carefully and don't look too lazy to pay attention to it?"

"It is your right to say it or not, it is my freedom to listen or not, Iron Lotus, you can't bind me!"

"Get out! Don't mention these two words again."

Li Fan leaned against the iron fence and said leisurely: "Okay, you said it, I'll listen to it, and you will correct it for you by the way."

Gu Yating rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, mahjong was originally a 'grain protection brand' in Taicang, Jiangsu.

The sparrows are afflicted. In order to reward those who catch birds and protect food, the officials who manage the granary used bamboo chips to record the number of birds and paid the reward. The cards are engraved with various symbols and numbers, which can be viewed, played, or used as certificates for redemption of bonuses. The gameplay, symbols and title terms of this grain chip are all related to catching birds.

The three basic colors of the Sparrow Card are called "Wan, Shu, Tube". The pattern of the "tube" is the cross-section of the gunpowder gun, and the "tube" is the gunpowder barrel, and the several gunpowder guns represent several gunpowder guns.

‘Scable’ means ‘Travel’, which is a bird strung with a thin rope. Therefore, the pattern of ‘YiScable’ is represented by a bird. The number of ropes is the number of birds, and the bonus is calculated based on the number of birds. ‘Trops’ means the unit of reward, and tens of thousands are the number of rewards.

In addition, the wind direction of "southeast, southwest and northwest" is the wind direction, so it is called "wind". The wind direction should be considered when shooting birds with gunpowder guns.

‘Zhong, white, hair’, ‘Zhong’ means shooting, so it is red; ‘Bai’ means white board, empty cannon; ‘Fai’ means giving a bounty, and getting rewards makes money.

The terms of mahjong gameplay are also related to catching birds and protecting food. For example, "touch" means the gunshot of "bang". Also, the card is called "he", which is homophonic with "he" and "falcon". "falcon" is a kind of eagle that catches birds.

In addition, terms such as "eating" and "bar" are also related to bird catching.

So why is it also called 'mahjong'? In the Taicang dialect, 'sparrow' and 'mahjong' are pronounced relatively close."

"Well, it makes sense!" Li Fan nodded.

"How is it? This is not what I said, it is introduced in an authoritative magazine! What you said before is completely nonsense!" Gu Yating said proudly.

Just as she was about to organize a group of language to conduct in-depth criticism and education on Li Fan, Li Fan suddenly changed his tone.

Li Fan: "It makes sense if it makes sense, but it is best to read some magazines and books less, which will make people misleading their children."

Gu Yating had a cold face: "What does it mean?"

Li Fan: "I mean, in terms of the accuracy of muskets in ancient times, they were used to kill birds? If we had this technology, could the Eight-Nation Alliance bully me? "

Gu Yating frowned and said, "Why do you say that gunpowder guns can't kill birds?"

"Oh, stupid kid!" Li Fan had to introduce to her the various disadvantages of ancient muskets. A girl had never heard of these, and it made Gu Yating confused.

"You're just talking nonsense, bullying my girl doesn't understand military affairs!"

Li Fan said: "Okay, then let's find someone who understands me. Mr. Xiao, please understand. That's an old man who wants to sleep with his arms around mahjong. He also loves to collect mahjong. Let's ask him if he can succeed? Let's give us an explanation."

"Yes, no problem."

"Since there must be a winning or losing statement, then, why should one of them be particular?"

Gu Yating thought for a while: "If I win, you are not allowed to call me 'Iron Lian' or anything else in the future, and you are not allowed to give me a new nickname."

"What if I win?"

"Don't worry, you can't win!"

"What if I win?"

Gu Yating thought to herself how could you win? What I said was published in an authoritative magazine.

She said indifferently: "You can just say it, I promise you."

Li Fan glanced at Gu Yating. The little girl was so beautiful. The music in his ears was very rhythmic. He suddenly remembered the dance that Gu Yating danced during the day when recording in the basketball hall, which was great.

Li Fan thought about it and said, "Why don't you do that? If you lose, will you go over and challenge the group of modern dancers and dance with them?"

Gu Yating thrust her chest, "No problem!"

"Let's take Mr. Xiao's first statement as the basis! Will it be successful?"

"certainly!"

Li Fan was in a good mood, and this girl was on the verge of her.

Gu Yating hung up the phone to Mr. Xiao and turned on the voice-over, "Teacher Xiao, I'm disturbing you. I know you are very knowledgeable about mahjong. Can you tell me..."

In the phone microphone, Mr. Xiao's voice sounded, and then:

Gu Yating was stunned, her big transparent eyes didn't blink, and she seemed to be smiling, "Oh...ah...so!"

On the other end of the phone: "This is the origin of mahjong, by the way, Li Fan--"

Seeing this, Li Fan broke the silence and immediately interrupted, saying, "Hello Mr. Xiao, I will bring the tea you asked me to bring to you when I return to Chuncheng. I remember it, you don't need to remind me from time to time. Mr. Xiao, let's have a hang up first, we have something urgent to do!"
