In one of the ancient Chinese dictionaries is the explanation of the chosen suits and the number of cards.
Four suits - symbolize four seasons,
52 cards in a deck - the number of weeks in a year.

The symbolic interpretation of the value of the maps was partially preserved. The number of cards in a deck corresponds to the number of weeks in a year - 52; the seasons are four suits; Despite the fact that each season has 13 weeks, each suit also has 13 cards. The following calculations are a bit more complicated. Each card has a designation of points, or indices, 1-10, cards "Nizhnik", "Kralya" and "King" also have an appropriate number of points, 11-13. Thus, if you combine all these points, the result is 91 - this is the number of days in each season. If you find the sum of points of four seasons (four times 91), then 364 are obtained - the number of days in a year without one day.

Types of the standard deck
large, medium and small:
A large or full deck consists of 52 cards (from ace to two) or 54 cards (with the addition of two jokers). Some manufacturers invest a promo card - an advertising leaflet in a card format that does not participate in games;
The average deck contains 36 cards (from ace to six)
a small deck - 32 cards (from Ace to Seven). A small log is also called Picket, skates and preference - from the names of famous games, in which they play a small deck.
