There are 10 Pai Gow tiles except for the big and small monkeys, that is, there are no pairs of tiles with the same number, as shown in the picture above. As for why it is called Wenwupai, the main explanation is "Wenmiwusan". In addition, the number 32 is the number of fortune-telling in traditional culture, and it also refers to the "eight stems and four dimensions" in the Feng Shui compass. The eight stems are "A, B, Bing, Ding, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui"; the four dimensions are "Qian, Kun, Gen, and Xun".
In addition to the 32 cards, the original Pai Gow also had "yin and yang poles". The so-called yin and yang pole is actually the role of dice in current chess and card activities. The making material is "sorghum stalk". Cut two small sections and split them in the middle, thus forming two sides of yin and yang, and there are four in total. When using it, just throw it down casually, look at the yin and yang sides, and decide which direction to start from.
