In the last blog, we mainly discussed the tarot cards of ancient Egypt and Italian theory. Today we mainly discuss the gypsy theory and Chinese theory. Let's take a look at it together!

Gypsy Doctrine

Scholars who study tarot cards believe that tarot cards are most likely brought to Europe by gypsies from Asia or Africa. They make a living by divination, and tarot cards are one of their divination methods.

There are relatively few historical records of Tarot as an aspect of divination, less than any other aspect of Tarot. The use of tarot reading became common some time after the cards themselves. Perhaps the gypsies saw the tarot when they migrated to Europe, and decided to use it for fortune-telling, or the gypsies borrowed some earlier derived card solution system and gave the tarot as their worldview. special meaning.

It has been found in the past that the gypsies brought the tarot from Egypt to Europe. But the truth is that the Gypsies probably came from India, and the Gypsies arrived in Spain more than a hundred years after the Tarot cards were introduced in Italy and France.

Chinese Doctrine

Origin of Tarot Cards in China? Wouldn't it be ridiculous! Certainly not, there are many scholars who support this theory. And China is an ancient and mysterious eastern country, because paper is one of the four great inventions of China, and the earliest playing cards were also invented by the Chinese.

Through the research of the guild mysticism "STARLAND.XINRES" scholars, it is believed that the origin of the tarot card is useless at all; the human beings at that time from the twelfth century to the fourteenth century did not have contact with the races in the world, although at first It was passed down from the West; but the ancients in the Central Plains of Asia have long learned to use paper for divination; but the name can definitely be derived from the name of the ancient Egyptians, and the correct Arabic pronunciation is TAROT; in the Central Plains Taoism, The sacrificial people have always been good at divination, and in the era of the Four Treasures of the Study, shamans used paper to paint exquisite ancient pictures, and used them to penetrate the mysteries of the stars in the sky;

Although this statement has been formalized in history, there is also a lack of theoretical evidence; the drawing of the first Tarot card shows the buildings of Western culture, including characters, gold coins, scepters, kings and other words; but there are also some who agree that, The historical civilization of the Central Plains originated from the time relationship in the West, so although the Central Plains did not actively develop this kind of card divination, it is possible that this thing was banned in the early rebellion period; and in the tenth century, Westerners have already entered. We land in the Central Plains, charge culture.

Furthermore, in the ancient history of China, there was also a lottery-type divination, and the method was very similar to the basic usage of tarot cards, which was based on the basic steps of drawing and interpreting the meaning of the cards.

According to the theory of Chinese origin, in 772 AD, a group of monks in the Tang Dynasty invented a card game called "leaf play", which was deeply loved by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and became popular in the court. As the earliest card game in the world that can be verified at present, "Leaves Play" is hundreds of years earlier than the appearance of Western card games (AD 1377), during which there were two great exchanges between Chinese and Western cultures.
