Flower cards are the essence of China culture, ranking first in the flexibility of all board games.
When talking about Hua Pai, we have to recall its inventor, Mr. Liu, who is called the painter. This wise inventor of card art was born in a farmhouse near the ancient city of Liling, and he succeeded in making a living by hard work. Their ancestors migrated from Hunan, except for a small amount of cultivated land, and made a living by paper for generations. With the increasingly skillful skills, Mr. Liu was not satisfied with the simple paper-binding business. He was inspired by the local people's activities of playing dominoes, and he had a whim and devoted his life to inventing a kind of "flower card" which was combined with ingenuity and favored by the people. Mr. Liu makes cards, and the raw materials are very particular. Except paper, all the pastes, pigments and tung oil used are boiled by hand. The flower cards he made are not shelled, discolored, moldy and durable. Influenced by him, the traditional custom of making cards in Huangjinkou area has been inherited to this day.
Liu's flower cards are a combination of enlightening and entertaining, combining calligraphy, painting and literacy. Although the 11 cards are small, they contain mystery: simple and vigorous calligraphy is pleasing to the eye, exquisite paintings are breathtaking, and each painting reflects the profoundness and profoundness of China's traditional culture. In the simple words of the flower card, the artist Liu Painter conveyed the essence of "Kong Yiji, Hua San Qian" to people, and then dissolved the educational concept of the ancients in the flower card, making education entertaining. Gu Zhuo and weirdness are another feature of the flower card. This kind of writing, which seems to be official and non-official, is between running script and cursive script. Writing with a brush is rigorous in structure, urgent and appropriate. This special word, which can't be found in ancient and modern calligraphy dictionaries, was called "Liu Ti" by later generations. It has strong local characteristics, no matter where you go to the ends of the earth, as long as you see it, you will know where it comes from and who its author is, thus becoming a symbol of the golden mouth image. Coincidentally, this seemingly hard-to-read word is easy to popularize, and even illiterate ordinary workers will quickly master the application in a short time. Strangely, in a stack of cards, as long as a prefix pops up, you can accurately tell what card it is. It's really clever in the clumsy, and clever in the subtle.
