The author declares that there are many "author's comments" in this chapter, and I apologize for any inconvenience.

"Prostitutes looking at bamboo was considered an elegant thing by the literati of the old times. During the Republic of China period at the turn of the old and the new, many celebrities in the cultural and ideological circles still carried the spirit of fame and morale, and they were particularly enthusiastic about these two things.

Two of the most famous of them are Mr. Yuan Yanqi and Mr. Hu Shizhi, who are known as '(one of the author's comments). Coincidentally, both of them are liberals and both are doctors in the United States. ”

First of all, Mr. Hu was quite unimpressed with the mahjong craze that swept the world in the thirties of the 20th century, and wrote a bitter criticism, "We have traveled all over the world, but we have seen that those growing nations and civilized countries are as addicted to mahjong as the Chinese. ”

However, Mr. Hu Shizhi was famous for his love of cards in his early years. In his diary for the first two months of 1910, there were 16 card games. He was also very annoyed by his wasted time, and once wrote to himself: 'Hu Shizhi, Hu Shizhi! How can you be so depraved! Have you forgotten all the study plans you made? ’

As for drinking, prostitutes are also a big hobby of the young Master Hu. After getting drunk once, he spent the night in the squad because of a fight with the patrolman.

Mr. Yuan Yanqian is a well-known man in the Republic of China, and later generations call him "the last madman in China". He often said that he was born with two things, one was the 'tongue of justice' and the other was 'the disease of King Hui'. (Author's Comment 2)

The so-called Zhengping tongue means that he likes to scold people like You Heng, a madman of the Three Kingdoms. After Mr. Yuan Yanqian returned to China, he often made comments in Chinese and foreign newspapers, and it was even more unceremonious to comment on Chinese and foreign figures at that time.

And King Hui's illness is naturally the 'widow and lustful' in "Mencius-King Hui of Liang".

As for the origin of Mr. Yuan and mahjong, it is even more well-known. The reason why mahjong has become an international modern competitive sport is precisely because of his vigorous promotion during his study in the United States, which can make mahjong occupy an important position in today's sports world.

He not only established the first mahjong club, the first mahjong school, and the first mahjong association in the United States, but also personally formulated a set of competitive and entertaining rules for mahjong, making it a formal modern competitive sport. (By the way, ask the patients which rule is better, please leave a message in the book review area.) ）

But what is puzzling is that Mr. Yuan Yanqian did not play mahjong with others after that. Someone has also asked him why he is like this, Mr. Yuan said that he popularized mahjong in the United States just to promote the quintessence of the country, and he himself felt that playing mahjong was too wasteful of time.

However, during the period when he returned to China in the early 20s, he staged an anecdote with Mr. Hu Shizhi because of mahjong.

At that time, Mr. Hu, who was teaching and writing books in Nanjing and Shanghai, repeatedly invited Mr. Yuan to play cards together, but the latter politely declined.

"This Anhui old monkey (Mr. Yuan)" is indeed a wonderful person. He actually united with two famous Shanghai princesses who were good at hand talk to write a war letter to Mr. Yuan in the newspaper.

The battle book said that the sisters wanted to play a friendly mahjong match with Mr. Yuan because he preached the quintessence of the country overseas and admired his style very much. No matter how much Mr. Yuan loses, it will be regarded as the capital of the two sisters to spend the night; And if he wins, these two famous concubines will accompany him for free for a month.

As soon as the war letter was published in major newspapers, it immediately caused a sensation on the beach. According to bystanders, Mr. Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed when he saw the war book, and immediately replied to the book. He also said in the letter (see Author's Testimonial 3).

At that time, the old man thought it was really insulting. Mr. Yuan is a well-known doctor in the United States, a good friend of the President of the United States, a secretary to the German Emperor, and a world-renowned university scholar. He should never depreciate himself and mix with this absurd farce.

In particular, Mr. Yuan's father was furious when he learned about it, and sent his second son to tell his eldest son that if he went to the appointment, then he would publish a newspaper and break off the father-son relationship with him. Mr. Yuan pondered for a moment, wrote a couplet, and asked his younger brother to take it back.

Old Man Yuan opened it and saw that it was written: (Author's Testimonial 4). His old man is a former Qingxiu who naturally understands the meaning of these two sentences, and sighs to others, the old man can't be a talent, but he has a crazy life. The matter was dismissed.

Later, there was a proverb in Shanghai that is still in use in the 21st century: (Author's Comment 5)

This game is on Sima Road (author's note: the current Fuzhou Road, the old Shanghai is similar to the Bada Hutong. It was carried out in a study room in the club, and the four of them agreed to play sixteen laps. They fought from 12 o'clock in the afternoon until the early hours of the next morning.

Mr. Yuan started with a big loss and a special loss, and the other three naturally won a big win. Mr. Hu also made fun of him, no wonder Hong gradually refused to come out to play mahjong, it turned out that the card skills were so stinky. However, the only big loser did not change his face, but only smiled.

At the north wind bureau of the last lap, it happened to be Mr. Yuan who was the banker. At this time, the situation on the field changed abruptly, and he even connected dozens of Zhuang and won back all the money he lost. According to the subordinates who served them at the time, he played his cards so unpredictable that the faces of the three of them were so white that their hands trembled.

In the end, Mr. Yuan Yanqi, who won the money back, deliberately dismantled the cards and released the punch to end the game, and he happened to win a flat Hu when he counted the chips. Mr. Yuan, who played mahjong for more than ten hours and was still in good spirits, said to Mr. Hu, (author's comment six).

After saying this, he took the two beauties and flew away, looking like a fairy. And after one night, things were exactly as he said, (Author's Comment No. 7).

Mr. Hu Shizhi later vowed to quit gambling, which was also an important reason.

After this incident, it was rumored that their Yuan family had ancestral secrets from Ge Zhichuan and Tao Hongjing, and there were really people who paid a lot of money to ask Old Man Yuan for Huang Chi's technique, which made his old man cry and laugh. In fact, these two are both Taoist celebrities who are good at "Huang Chi Zhishu", and coincidentally Ge Hong is a native of Jurong (Zhenjiang), and Tao Hongjing is a native of Moling (Nanjing).

But it's not over yet.

Later, Mr. Yuan was invited to give a lecture in the capital, and the northern academic circles were also skeptical about his card skills and 'you know'. So Mr. Mei Yiqi, a professor of physics at Tsinghua University at that time, and the first batch of Geng students studying in the United States and the future president of Tsinghua University, came forward and invited two famous Ji from the north to invite Mr. Yuan on the same terms.

By the way, Mr. Mei is also famous for his large amount of alcohol and mahjong play.

Of course, Mr. Yuan did not respond to the battle, and this time the battlefield was placed in Shaanxi Lane, the head of the eight major alleys. The whole game was the opposite of the one in Shanghai, where Mr. Yuan began to win Mr. Mei and the two Northland Rouge, but lost all the money he had won. After playing a set of accounts, I found that he still won a flat beard.

After comparing the results of the two mahjong games, the world suddenly realized that Mr. Yuan Yanqian was really the top master of mahjong.

Later, someone also made a limerick poem for these two mahjong games:

PS。 Last time, someone asked Murong if he was Jiang Lang's talent, so I can only prove myself to Feng Nu again.

Friends who watch pirated copies, Murong has a conscience, you only need to subscribe to one chapter to see so many "golden sentences". And it really doesn't matter if you don't look at it.
