HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE: Mahjong was first developed in the south of China in the mid-1800s toward the end of the Qing Dynasty, around the Yangtze River Delta. It was one of many male-dominated gambling games that emerged at that time. The word “mahjong” means “sparrow” in southern Chinese dialects, as the tile clacking noises produced during reshuffling were very bird-like. Mah Jong is currently experiencing a well-deserved revival and surging in popularity
