It's good to know that Mahjong has been becoming popular in the net.Some of the game site now includes Mahjong as one of their top games. Well, Poker is Poker whatever your race or gae maybe, it's the universal language of cards.
Myth told us that Mahjong was invited by the very famous Chinese Scholar CONFUCIUS. He likes bird so much that the game was named after a "maque sparrow". If my memory serve me right there are 3 distinct pictures on the tile or should I say color: red, green, white. And it represents benevolence, sincerity and filial piety (whew!). Those are the 3 virtues the great scholar was trying to instill to his follower. To be honest with you, it was my first time to encounter the words "filial piety", as simple as : respect for parents and ancestors.
So everytime you hold one of those mahjong tiles, this is not only a game to be played but a virtue to be lived.
Sweet!
