Dominoes are said to have originated in China and were introduced to Europe in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. According to “Zhengzi Tong”, in the second year of Song Xuanhe (1120 AD), a game called “dominoes” appeared and was awarded to the world during Emperor Gaozong of Song. At that time, dominoes were mostly made of teeth or animal bones, so dominoes were also known as “tooth cards”.

On August 16, 1849, Italian missionary Domino returned from China to Milan, where he had been away for eight years. The whole family welcomed him excitedly. Domino took out one gift after another, but his most beautiful daughter, Little Domino, only liked a set of 28 bone products – Pai Gow. But she did not play those traditional games, but liked to connect the cards by the size of the points. Her boyfriend, Wisdom Ahrendt, was an impulsive person, and Little Domino asked him to stand up the 28 cards one by one without falling down, and limited the time limit. If he did not succeed, he would not be allowed to attend the dance for a week.

After seventy-seven or forty-nine days of training, her boyfriend became a tough and strong character, and did things steadily and calmly, which surprised the people of Milan. In order to allow as many people as possible to play the elegant game of dominoes, the missionary Domino made and produced wooden cards still called dominoes, which quickly spread in Italy and Europe, and was named “Domino” after the missionary. By the 19th century, dominoes had formed the sport of the world, and became the most famous, most participated, and most widely expanded sport in non-Olympic sports.

Domino (domino) is a rectangular domino made of wood, bone or plastic. It is a hands-on, brainstorming sport. A pattern consists of hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of dominoes. The dominoes need to be laid down one by one. It not only tests the participants’ physical strength, endurance and willpower, but also cultivates the participants’ intelligence, imagination and creativity.

Domino is another culture. It originated in China and has a history of thousands of years. The long process of development has endowed it with unique educational functions. When playing cards, the dominoes will fall down again and again due to accidents, and the participants will always face and suffer the blow of failure. Don’t be discouraged or flinch when encountering setbacks. You must build up confidence, summon up courage, and start again. Only through countless such experiences can people become mature and eventually succeed.
