What do the four colors of poker stand for and what are their implications?
Playing cards are divided into four colors: spades, diamonds, clubs and hearts. People all over the world give different cultural explanations to the four colors with their own national cultures. The French understand it as spear, square, clove leaf and red heart; Germans understand leaves, bells, acorns and hearts; Italians understand it as a sword, coins, crutches and wine glasses; The Swiss understand it as acorns, bells, flowers and shields; The British understand it as shovel, diamond, clover and red heart. Why use these four patterns as the patterns and colors of playing cards? There's always been a lot of talk. There are two kinds of centralized views: one is that these four colors represent four industries in the society at that time, and spades represent spears and symbolize soldiers; Plum blossoms represent clover and symbolize agriculture; Square represents bricks used by craftsmen; The heart represents the heart and symbolizes the priest. Secondly, these four colors come from the patterns of ancient European utensils, and spades represent olive trees and symbolize peace; Plum blossom is a four-leaf clover, which means good luck; The square is a diamond, symbolizing wealth; Red hearts are red hearts, symbolizing wisdom and love. The 54 patterns of playing cards are also wonderful to explain: the king represents the sun, Xiao Wang represents the moon, and the remaining 52 cards represent 52 weeks in a year. The four colors of heart, diamond, plum blossom and spades symbolize spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively. There are 13 cards in each suit, which means there are 13 weeks in each season. If J, Q and K are regarded as 1 1, 12, 13 points, then the king and Xiao Wang are half points, and the total number of points in a deck of playing cards is exactly 365 points. The size of the king in leap year is 1 minute and ***366 minutes respectively. Experts generally believe that the above explanation is not a coincidence, because the design and invention of playing cards are inextricably linked with the week, ancient divination, astronomy and calendar. J, Q and K in playing cards are abbreviations for English attendants, queens and kings. At present, we often see that the top card of 12 represents a real person or a legend in history. In different times, the characters represented by these top cards are often different. In recent years, many countries have printed representative pictures reflecting their own culture, folk customs and styles on poker. This kind of design and color playing cards integrates knowledge, entertainment and appreciation, and is deeply loved by poker lovers and collectors. When consumers entertain with playing cards, they not only increase their knowledge, but also enjoy beauty again and again.
