Like everything that suddenly goes viral, Egg Cracking divides the world into two parts: those who can crack eggs and those who can't. Zhang Wuji, who can beat eggs, suddenly fell off the cliff like a figure who could break eggs, and suddenly fell close to the most rammed Jiuyang Divine Skill. Beat the i-person e-man, ascend the constellation descends to the tarot, and becomes the first pickaxe to smash the social iceberg in 2023. The financial circles that are calling for wind and rain are beating eggs, and the political and business circles that are crisscrossing the world are also beating eggs. In the marketing account that is a little bit of a flurry, it seems that the eggs have become a unique study of making money every day, and the people who can see the rivers and lakes are greedy, and everyone wants to go to the top of the light, and they can learn a trick and a half from the "Zhang Wuji". People who don't beat eggs look sideways: a poker game that originated in the 60s of the 20th century and is still in Huai'an, Jiangsu, how did it become a unique martial arts game?The popularity of the egg is a button, and people who can't untie it will think that this sudden appearance of the sect is awe-inspiring, and no matter how you look at it, it reveals mystery. In the days when egg hunting was not popular, Chinese investors and Western funders socialized by playing Texas Hold'emAnd now, how rich Jiangnan is, what is popular here?Of course, it's the egg. 
Egg breaking is a small circle activity popular in the system of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it does not need to appear in a serious work group, but the people who appear in the egg group will obviously be closer. It is said that in many places in Jiangsu, there will be two tables in the private room of the hotel - the round table for dinner, and the square table for eggs.

The reason for this activity is that it accurately targets the high-net-worth customers of financial institutions: the people who can fight are basically 40-50 years old, have certain social and business influence, and live in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Their way of socializing is to find a place to drink tea and play a few handfuls of eggs in the afternoon, and then go to dinner. As long as you learn to be easy to use and easy to break the ice, you can add WeChat after a game. According to data from research institute Qingke, in the first quarter of 2023, China's equity investment events were concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta, with Jiangsu Province having the most investment events, reaching 330 and amounting to 22 billion yuan. From the perspective of capital contribution, the provinces with the most capital contributions in the first quarter of 2023 are Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces. The amount of newly raised funds is also the largest in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Fans of the egg cracker say that in the egg, the stupid person plays the game, the smart person plays the chance, not the card, but the person. 
In Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, a group of people play a poker game of "egg hunting" in a park. (Photo: Visual China).In the Huai'an dialect, "掼" has the meaning of "throwing". And "egg", in fact, refers to "bomb" at the beginning, and it is the core ** "bomb" in the game. The literal meaning of "cracking eggs" is "throwing bombs". To put it simply, the egg hunt requires two decks of playing cards, and four people work in pairs, and which team of players finishes their cards first, which team wins. The essence of the egg is the bomb, how to combine the bomb, how to use the bomb, how to crack the bomb, how to prevent the bomb, how to deceive the opponent's bomb, you can see the level of the level. If you don't use the bomb well, it will become. A handful of eggs without bombs is like a pack of walking dead consuming lives. If each person has four bombs, the hand is a "war of the worlds";And if the four of them don't have a bomb to use in a game, the boredom and suffocation of the game will make the old man and old lady playing mahjong on the street extremely disgusted.

Eggs attach importance to cooperation, and in the process of playing cards, you can bluff by squeezing your eyebrows and making eyes, and win the game by playing psychological warfare, which also tests the cooperation of people in the game, which makes Egg have the function of "knowing people". This entertainment activity after tea and dinner and Spring Festival gatherings is summed up in the height of cognition, pattern and human nature. People who play cards quickly and without thinking are generally upright;People who love to throw cards and throw cards when they are not lucky, and it is inevitable to be angry when encountering difficulties;I prefer the big names to come out first, but I can't go away in the end, and I often lack the vision to coordinate the overall situation. It should focus on steady, long-lasting development, so that the egg can also be a panacea for anxiety. Peter Lynch, a well-known Wall Street investor, said, "Texas Hold'em can teach you more than the whole of Wall Street." "And what the eggs teach you is the essence of society. 
Merchants in Shanxi may accompany their clients to play golf, but they may prefer to squat in front of their yard and eat bowls of noodlesIn a president's drawer carved from golden silk nan wood, it is not necessarily a seal or financial statement, but it may just be a pair of mahjong that does not like machine washing and loves hand rubbing. In some social situations, some people don't know how cool it can be if they can hold a long dragon card of "10jkqka" and throw it on the table. Therefore, the protagonist of the Chinese-style game must be as happy as an egg, and he must go up and down. It must not only have the strength of the earth that encompasses everyone, but also have the rules that can kill and fight cool, and the golden wind and jade dew meet for a "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". Watching Texas Hold'em, the water and soil are not adapted, and the upgrade style of play is slightly old-fashioned;A generation of Tianjiao fights landlords, everyone can do it, and the strategy is limited. As a result, with the momentum of rampage, Egg Cracking has truly become the most popular Chinese-style game in 2023. 
On July 23, 2023, Beijing, the Beijing Station of the National Egg Breaking Open was held at the Ditan Gymnasium in Beijing, with more than 300 people participating in the event. (Photo: Visual China).A Chinese-style game is always clear. It is ranked after the most commonly formed dinner and wine parties. In terms of human affection, it is not as sticky as pushing a cup and changing a lamp;In terms of intimacy, it is more intimate than eating and drinking. The game-saver can ignore the meat, and the player does not have to get drunk. In a card game, there is no extravagant consumption, this is a thing in the curtain, even if you bomb me, I bomb you, you bomb his artillery fire, after all, it is innocent, a little pleasant, hello I am good, the card game is traceless. A Chinese-style game is like a guessing puzzle. The situation to be opened may not be discussed, but only hidden in the plum blossom square from "A" to "K". The mountain gate is easy to enter, Allah is hard to find, and many times, the humble hand is often the most difficult to enter. Cigarettes are smoked one after another, water is drunk cup after cup, and people are as good as they are when the cards are played. Card situation, card potential, card strength, you can see human feelings, human potential and manpower. As long as the momentum is big, a small pair can make a splash, and good dishes can't wait for it to be cold;And the people of the Buddha system, out of the king of the bomb is also "looking up at the bright moon" and "the moon surging the river", the card grid is the character, and the card field is life. Egg cracking is a man's play after all. From the initial "bomb" to "egg", there is less fire and more male hormones. In contrast, mahjong is more like a woman's play, and in spy war movies, the lady's mahjong table is the most dangerous and the most rewarding intelligence place. The egg table can obtain information on the financial market.

The egg is the product of team combat, the enemy is clear, the friendly army is clear, unlike mahjong and the enemy are mixed, and the enemy is different when playing each card, and the battle strategy must be changed from time to time. Mahjong spelling is the ability of individuals to judge the situation, observe words and colors, and in addition to having the ability to judge the situation and observe words and colors, but also have the ability to cooperate, to know how to mobilize each other, cooperate with each other, and cover each other. It needs to be strategic, it needs to understand human nature, and it can be regarded as the most pleasing to men. 
The opening scene of the movie "Lust and Caution" is a famous mahjong scene. Director Ang Lee said that this card is the battle of Fangcheng, and the opening set the tone, so that the audience knows that in the distorted human nature of suspicion, there are colors, there are precepts, and war. Who knows what secrets, who hints to whom, who has thorns in their words, who gives whom what cards, the status of these wives, how they hoard goods when materials are difficult, and which of these four women is likely to sleep with Mr. Yi......It's all in this back and forth ivory antique mahjong. The happy story in "The Legend of Flowers on the Sea" also always has cards. The way of communication between men and women in the Qinglou** is mainly playing cards, eating, smoking, talking and laughing, as well as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the benefactor only interacts with one woman for a period of time. Scholar Xu Zidong said that this is like a parody of the ethical logic of the family - the familyization of the Qinglou, the Qinglou of the family. Playing cards became the most suitable carrier of the hidden emotions of the feudal class. 
(Picture "Lust Caution").From this point of view, it is rare to play cards without accumulating games, socializing, metaphors, gambling, and simply returning to fun. Lu Xun is good anywhere, but unfortunately he doesn't like to play cards. He wrote an article to persuade people to read, in which the opponent is playing cards, it can be seen that the fun of playing cards is as great as a flood of beasts - "I think, the hobby of reading, should be like a love to play cards, play every day, night and night, play continuously, sometimes caught by the public security bureau, after being released, still play." You must know that the purpose of those who really play cards is not to win, but to have fun. Therefore, the fun of playing cards can be pure and powerful, and filling the "three missing one" is the greatest virtue of life. Faye Wong can be questioned for not singing well, but she can't be questioned about her card skills;Lao She was addicted to the mahjong table, but the card skills were not good, so it was not easy to feed him cards, and his hair fell out at one pointHu Shi and Ji Xianlin will not invade all diseases in order to play cards. Ji Xianlin once wrote down the grand occasion of playing cards in the summer of 1933 in a diary: "Playing cards, winning a big victory." "Come on, play cards. Playing cards again at night. "It's the time to play cards. For a few days, I played almost twice a day, and my wrist hurt. "After dinner, I played cards, played a total of three games, and lost a lot. In the evening, he played cards again and won. "A generation has a generation of cards and ways to play, can only say "playing cards in the sound of the New Year, a thousand sorrows".
