About This Novel

Small playing cards have an unusual history in southern Liaoning. The origin of playing cards has a history of thousands of years. "Taiping Guangji" records that the leaf grid was made by Li Ming in the Tang Dynasty, and Ouyang Xiu wrote in "Guitian Lu" that "the leaf grid has been around since the middle ages of the Tang Dynasty..." Is an example. By the Tianqi period in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, leaf grids evolved into horse tags. This kind of card has portraits of characters from "Water Margin", as well as Wanzi, Suozi and Wenqian. After the emergence of horse tags, they became popular in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Around the 14th century, as the forerunner of paper media and printing technology, they were first introduced to some European countries. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, "horse tags" were quite popular. Influenced by "Xuanhe cards" and "Penghe cards", they became "Mohe cards". From "Mohe cards" they gradually evolved into the current "playing cards".
