    Cultural introduction

    Mahjong, originating from China during the Qing dynasty, is a game deeply entrenched in cultural tradition and symbolism. Its name, meaning “sparrow” in Chinese, reflects its early association with the chirping of birds. Over the centuries, Mahjong has evolved into a beloved pastime enjoyed by millions worldwide. Its intricately designed tiles, adorned with symbols from Chinese mythology and daily life, hold deep cultural significance. Mahjong is not just a game of skill and strategy; it is a reflection of social dynamics and familial traditions. Played during festivals, family gatherings, and special occasions, Mahjong serves as a means of bonding and socialising among friends and relatives. Beyond entertainment, Mahjong embodies the values of etiquette, humility, and respect for tradition. Today, it continues to captivate players of all ages and backgrounds, bridging cultural divides and fostering a sense of camaraderie through shared enjoyment of this timeless game.
