Ma Jiang 麻将 supposedly developed from earlier card games.
One I read about is Ma Diao - 马吊 of the Ming Dynasty.
Furthermore there seems to have been another card game during the Sund Dynasty - Ya Pei? Or Ya Pai? (Spare me Yuppie and Yazee wordplays, okay ).
How is this Ya Pei written in Chinese characters? Did not find anything myself.
Ma Jiang is sometimes referred to as the “Game of 100 Intelligences”. But also for this I could find neither a Chinese translation or source.
Does anyone know if this was actually a term coined in China? Or was it rather some sales slogan / advertisement during the Mah Jong craze in the U.S. during the 1920s?
