【Inheriting the old culture and revival of Tianjiu game】Hong Kong "Earth" imitation terrazzo dominoes
Terrazzo is commonly found in old buildings and markets in Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s. The material has a feeling of old Hong Kong. We also visited a hand-carved mahjong shop in Hong Kong, and asked the master to engrave two "Hong Kong" on a pair of "ground" signs This is a way to awaken the "Hong Kong land" spirit of the true Hong Kong people.
The older generation will distinguish the dominoes by comparing the thickness, 5 points thick is Tian Jiu, and thin is Pai Gow. But in fact, the two kinds of cards are the same, the points are composed of the points of two dice, and the number is the same 32, so to put it bluntly, this thin pair can also play Tianjiu. It is precisely because there are too many female friends around who complain that the thick dominoes are too large and their slender hands are difficult to hold, so this time, a special thin dominoes for girls are specially introduced.
Speaking of the "land" card, let's tell a story about the land by the way.
The "Earth" card consists of two dots, a pair of four dots in total, symbolizing the four directions of "southeast, northwest," respectively. The concept of a direction is said to be founded by Fuxi. It is said that Fuxi selected a group of hunting and fishing experts to develop territory in four directions: east, west, north and south.
But some of them were afraid that the mountains and the road would be lost, so Fu Xibei decided to bring bamboo baskets to accompany the pioneers on the road. When one of them saw this, he asked Fuxi why he was carrying a bamboo basket, and he explained that it was used to "pack things".
Everyone was very surprised, so they asked, "How should I put things?" Fuxi replied, "East belongs to wood, west belongs to metal, and wood and metal can of course be placed in a basket!"
Later, someone asked, why not put the north and the south first? Fuxi replied again: "The south belongs to fire, the north belongs to water, the fire burns the basket, the water leaks, and the water and fire are incompatible, so they can't be installed!"
The crowd asked again, "Then how do we distinguish east, west, north and south?" Fuxi explained: "East belongs to wood, and west belongs to metal. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The south belongs to fire, and the north belongs to water.
Since then, human beings have recognized the location and expanded the scope of activities. And the four points of the land card in the dominoes symbolize these four directions.
