博客來This book was originally intended to serve as an instruction booklet,
teaching people how to play ＂Mahjong.＂ In this book, readers will gain a deeper understanding of
mahjong, not only as a game played by people, but also as a social
networking instrument and a historical mirror, reflecting the periods of
the Second World War, the Cultural Revolution in China, and modern
times. It is also a bridge of cross-cultural and cross-generational
recollection, communication, and appreciation. Nowadays, mahjong
is even recognized as offering substantial therapeutic value for seniors,
and has become a game played not only by Chinese people but also by
people worldwide. This book also discusses various styles of mahjong and briefly explains
how each style is played. The final chapter provides a practical guide
on how to play the game in the Cantonese/Hong Kong style.
