It happens often with a player:
Having sat rich in the poor man.
Who took the card, pretty progress,
That is not to know the games happy.
Gambling Game:
She is not God's God, -
Satan came up with her!

Sebastian Brand. 1494

Have you ever asked yourself a question: what do playing cards mean? Where did the names come from - currency, ace, trefy, peaks, cherries, etc. If - yes! Then this is an article for you. Especially impressionable request not to read)

A few words about the history of the question:

There are 3 versions of the origin of the cards:

1. First - chineseAlthough many still do not want to believe in it. Chinese and Japanese cards are too unusual for us and in appearance, and by the nature of the game, which is more like Domino. However, it is undoubted that already in the VIII century in China, the first sticks were used in China, and then the strips of paper with the designations of various symbols. These distant ancestors of cards were also used instead of money, so they had three masters: a coin, two coins and a lot of coins. And in India, on the playing cards, the figure of a four-row shiva was depicted, which kept the cup, sword, coin and rod. Some believe that these symbols of the four Indian classes and gave rise to modern card masters.

2. Egyptian The version of the origin of cards converted by the latest occultists. They argued that in ancient times, Egyptian priests recorded all the wisdom of the world on 78 gold signs, which were also pictured in the symbolic form of cards. 56 Of these, "younger arcans" - became ordinary playful cards, and the remaining 22 "senior arkan" were part of the mysterious tarot deck used for fortunes. This version was first published in 1785 by the French Occultist of Ettela, and its successors of the French Elimas Levi and Dr. Paul and the British Mates and Crowley created their own interpretation systems of Tarot. The name is allegedly comes from the Egyptian "Ta Roche" ("path of the kings"), and the cards themselves were listed in Europe or Arabami, whether the gypsies, who were often considered to come from Egypt. True, no evidence of such an early existence of the Tarotie scholar deer found.

3. European version. (Let us dwell on it more - it is considered the main one). Conventional cards appeared on the European continent no later than the XIV century. Back in 1367, in the city of Bern, the card game was banned, and ten years later, the shocked Papal Messenger watched with horror, as the monks enthusiastically cut into cards at the walls of her abode. In 1392, Jacken Gringonner, a jester of the showerful French king Karl VI, drew a card deck for entertaining his master. The then deck differed from the current one detail: it only 32 cards were in it. Not enough four ladies, whose presence seemed to be superfluous. Only next century, Italian artists began to depict Madonn not only in the paintings, but also on the maps.

4. Occulta. According to the writer S.S. Narovchatova, with Ivan the Terrible appeared in Moscow someone Cherchelli. Cherchelli, in Italy was called French, in France - Hermann, in Germany - Pole, and in Poland - became Russian. He brought to Moscow, a chest coached in a shawl, black with red divorces, which as it were to match the masters - black and red. Cards began to be in demand. At first, it was tolerated for classes with the maps of power, but then they began to persecute for them, because the intervention of unclean strength was seeing. From the legislative monuments about the maps for the first time mentions the Code of 1649, which prescribes with the players to act "as written about Tatya" (thieves), i.e. Be a little, cut off your fingers and hands. Decree 1696 It was introduced to search all those suspected in the desire to play cards "and someone will be removed, beat the whip." In 1717 The game is prohibited at the threat of money fine. In 1733 For recidivists, prison is defined, or baute.

So what do the masters and the values \u200b\u200bof the cards mean?

The structure of the card decks everyone is known: Ace, the king, lady, the currency is even lower than dozens, nines, and so before the sixth or to the twos in the full deel - a typical hierarchical staircase from higher to the lower:

Joker - a frivolous figure in the Triko, the Schutskaya Cap, the Bubakers ... And in the hands - the Scepter with a head of a man-held on him, who is now humane artists replaced with musical "plates". In pre-revolutionary stage values, a similar character was called Fradyavolo. "Joker" above all, it does not have a suit and in the game is considered the strongest. Thus, at the top of the pyramid is not the king, but Daus ...

Ace - the word of Polish origin from German Daus. The German-Russian dictionary indicates the meaning of the word: Daus - Devil. It is possible that DAUS is a variant of the distortion of the Greek "DOLBOS" - the scatter slander.

King. Interestingly, all card images had real or legendary prototypes. For example, four kings are the greatest monarchs of antiquity: Karl Great (worms), Biblical king David (peaks), Julius Caesar (Bubnes) and Alexander Macedonian (Trephi).

In relation to the ladies of such unanimity was not - for example, the lady of the worms were judith, then Elena Troyanskaya, then Didona. The lady peak was traditionally depicted as the Goddess of War - Athena, Minerva and even Jeanne d'Ark. In the role of ladies, peak after long disputes began to portray the biblical Rachel: she perfectly approached the role of the "Queen of Money", because he robbed his own father. Finally, the lady Tref, in the early Italian maps speaking as a virtuous Lucretia, turned into argin - the allegory of bustle and vanity.

Valet (FR. Valet, "servant", "Laki", egoologically dimming from "Vassal"; the old Russian name "Holop", "Klap") - a playing card with a picture of a young man. All the real prototypes of the currencies (according to the European version) - the French knight of La Gir on the nicknamed Satan (Chervi), as well as the heroes of the epic of the bearer of the Dane (peaks), Roland (tambourines) and Lancelot Lake (Trephi).

The "trump" cards, their very name, have their own special purpose. "Kosher" i.e. "Pure" called Talmudists ritual sacrifices ... What, as you understand, connected with Kabbalah.

Now suit:

In the French version, swords turned into "peaks", the Cups in "Chervi", denary - in the "Bubnes", and "Wands" - in the "Crosses", or "Treft" (the last word in French means "clover leaf") . In different languages, these names are now sounded differently; For example, in England and Germany, this "shovels", "hearts", "diamonds" and "clubs", and in Italy - "Spears", "Hearts", "Squares" and "Flowers". In German maps, you can still meet the old names of the masters: "Justice", "Hearts", "Bells" and "Leaves".

What are the category of cards in different countries?

1. French:
   le Pique - Peaks
   le Carreau - Bubnes
   le TR # 232; FLE - TREFA
   le C # 339; ur - worms
   The English sequence is the same:
   spades, Diamonds, Clubs (Cards), Hearts
2. From the history:
   Conventional cards appeared on the European continent no later than the XIV century. Back in 1367, in the city of Bern, the card game was banned, and ten years later, the shocked Papal Messenger watched with horror, as the monks enthusiastically cut into cards at the walls of her abode. In 1392, Jacken Gringonner, a jester of the showerful French king Karl VI, drew a card deck for entertaining his master. The then deck differed from the current one detail: there were only 52 cards in it. Not enough four ladies, whose presence seemed to be superfluous. Only next century, Italian artists began to depict Madonn not only in the paintings, but also on the maps.

   In these Arab maps, only the wrong eye guards king worms and the top five.
   There was no uniformity and in cardas
   In the early Italian decks, they wore the names of "swords", "Cups", "Denaris" (coins) and "wands". It seems like in India, it was associated with the estates: nobility, clergy and trading class, while the rod symbolized the royal power standing over them. In the French version, swords turned into "peaks", the Cups in "Chervi", denary - in the "Bubnes", and "Wands" - in the "Crosses", or "Treft" (the last word in French means "clover leaf") . In different languages, these names are now sounded differently; For example, in England and Germany, this "shovels", "hearts", "diamonds" and "clubs", and in Italy - "Spears", "Hearts", "Squares" and "Flowers". In German maps, you can still meet the old names of the masters: "Justice", "Hearts", "Bells" and "Leaves". As for the Russian word "worms", it happened from the word "Chervoy" ("Red"): It is clear that the "hearts" originally treated red suit.

   German 19th century cards with images of actors

Each of us knows what playing cards and many played in them. But someone thought, how did the first cards and the masters depicted on them appeared?

One option for the origin of cards and masters is the assumption that the first cards appeared in Asia, from where they were already distributed by Arabs in Europe.

Foreign merchants, delivering goods and traveling along various lands, traded cards with four masters, who called Pentacles, Sources, Cups and Swords.

The origin of cardas is not known for certain, but there are several quite probable theories

For other assumptions, they appeared in Europe during the reign of Karl Fourth - they came up with the royal merchant for fun of the Lorsk family.

In the old world, the cards for gambling are first described about the same period of time. Of the variety of decks, their quantitative and qualitative composition, you can allocate certain commonality:

• all decks had 4 masters (as well as special cards, called jokers);
• each suit contained several representatives that differ in the picture or informational sign;
• the map combined in itself and hierarchical place.

Modern deck is a French version of the combination of a map of the card and her seniority, which appeared in the 15th century. The popularity and prevalence of this particular instance is explained by the low cost of manufacturing. In French maps, low rank was designated by Arabic symbols, which excluded the difficulty in the drawing.

On how visual images of suit were formed, there are the following opinions:

• equipment knights (peaks - spears, worms - shields, Bubi - banners, cross-swords);
• four social groups of feudal society (army - peaks, church - worms, merchants - Bubi, peasantry - to cross);
• objects related to the death of Jesus Christ (Peaks - Spear, Chervi - Sponge, Bubi - Hats Nails, Captive - Cross).

The last of these explanations is caused by the well-established condemnation by the church of gambling, including cards, which are considered to be the generation of the devil. Many European countries have rooted a rather interesting name of the masters. For example, in Germany, the worms are called hearts, peaks - leaves, bubes - buberets, and the cross is acorn.

Names of card masters

In the Spanish set of masty masts, also referred to as peculiar words. Residents of France are called otherwise: peaks (spears), squares, hearts, clover. The most common and familiar in Russia were the terms that came from France, or derivatives similar to them.

Thus, the Bubi originate from the "Bubares", Trephists are uttered on the Russian word "Trefle", worms - derived from "Chervoy", the peaks speak for themselves.

Hierarchy of card masters

In all the variety of card games, there was no universal seniority as masters, so many games have their own scale: for example, in Bridge or poker there is a hierarchy - peaks, worms, bubes, baptism. For this reason, such an order is organized in the games, which would regulate the location and, so to speak, the strength of the masters.

Trumps and special suit

In the "bribe" games, such a suit is always present, which throughout the game is more powerful compared to others. In some games, a specific value may have one or more masters. In the game "Peaks", by the way, a concrete suit is set, which is the trump card during Kona.

Another example of using special texts is the game "Worms", where the presence of cards with hearts introduces you to a losing situation.

The composition of the deck

The standard card deck consists of 36 cards, but this is considered to be an already modern option, however, initially cards in the deck were 54 pieces: 36 basic and 18 auxiliary. Each card is "repeated" 4 times - one in each of the four masters.

Interest cause names and depicted on playing cards. Many have accustomed to see the half and mirror-reflected figures of kings and ladies, but this is the trend of new time, and in the old days the figures of the cards were drawn in full growth.

All cards in the deck are divided into four masters, which are customary:
- Cherry;
- Bubnes;
- Trephs;
- Peaks.

Card designations

Treft and peak cards are taken in black, and the tambourines and peaks are red. Cards are numerical designation and image in the form of drawings. The numeric cards include the smallest cards, and to the "drawings" more significant, such as ace, king, lady, currency. Ace is the most significant card, in many translations it is as "deputy head" or "Deputy King". The word "TUZ" in translation from the Greek means "sower slander", and from German almost the devil. Anyway, this card is a cunning and gives a lot of power.

The position of the king cards and ladies in the deck is obvious, and the name speaks for itself. What can not be said about the map of the currency. Translated from French "Valts" is a servant, on the map he is depicted as a young man in the way of a squire.

Masty.

Very interesting to the names of the masters. Previously, instead of the usual peak or worms, the following notation was:
- Cups;
- swords;
- Wands;
- Denaria.

Cups, which were awarded winners, turned over time in a cinder, reminiscent of the Form of the Cup and heart appreciation, and the rods in the trephies or crosses. Denaria turned into a tambourine, and swords became sharp peaks, in fact, denoting weapons.

In some decks there is another card called. On the map, Joker is depicted by a jester in a color version or black and white, he rarely plays, but his move is always designed to confuse the plans (cards) of rivals.
