General Han Xin (韩信)



A real historical character born before Han Dynasty.

He was quite well-known in the history for helping Emperor Han, Liu Bang, to get his Empire.

During the period at the border, fighting against the armies of Xiang Yu, General Han Xin invented a few games for the soldiers to play (as a pass-time game), soon after the war ended, such games were brought back to the commoners' areas and being spread around among the folks.

Such games were passed down generation by generation. So what were these games?

Here they are:

Pai Jiu, hkk: Bai Kow


Mahjong:


Chinese Chess, Xiang Qi


After years of spreading and passing down, certain games have been "imported" into the "Gambling System".

And this is why, in certain countries like Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and even Singapore, treated General Han Xin as the Deity of Gambling -> which is not accurate.

Anyway, this trend has been spread around in the community now, we can't do much, just hope that it won't affect the reputation of such a well-known General of the Han
