A Brief Mahjongg History
One of the myths regarding the origin of Mahjongg suggests that Confucius, the great Chinese
philosopher, had developed the game about 500 BC. According to this myth, the appearance of the
game in various Chinese provinces coincides with Confucius' travels at the time he was teaching his
new doctrines.
Another theory implies the game was developed from existing Chinese card and domino games
around 1850. Some historians believe it was based on a Chinese card game called Mádiào (also
known as Ma Tiae, Hanging Horse); or Yèzí (Leaf) in the early Ming Dynasty.

This game was played with 40 paper cards similar in appearance to the cards used in the game Ya
Pei. These 40 cards, numbered 1 to 9 in four different suits along with four extra flower cards, are
similar to the numbering on Mahjongg tiles today.
This traditional Chinese game was banned in its homeland in 1949, when the People's Republic Of
China was founded. The new Communist government forbade any gambling activities, which were
regarded as symbols of capitalist corruption. After the Cultural Revolution, the game was revived, and
once again Mahjongg has become one of the favorite pastimes of the Chinese people.
