Cultural Practices: Pai Sho - The Game

I'm honestly a little embarrassed it took me this long to get to this topic! As always, credit goes to @atla-lore-archive for saving all the neat ATLA tidbits and concept art from the old Nick website.

Pai Sho (牌數), meaning "several game pieces" in Chinese, takes inspiration from a few different table games:

Its most obvious influence is the German game Sternhalma, known in the English-speaking world as Chinese Checkers. Like Chinese Checkers, the game is played on a circular board.

The lines on the board and the circular tiles are reminiscent of Xiàng​qí (象棋), known in the English-speaking world as Chinese Chess. The pieces often being positioned on the intersection of lines is also very similar to Chinese Chess.

The game's four player limit and visually creative tiles are reminiscent of Mahjong (麻将), China's most famous tile game. In particular, the iconic white lotus tile appears to draw heavily from the classic Mahjong one-dot tile.

Finally, the name Pai Sho was likely inspired by Pai Gow (牌九), meaning "nine game pieces" in Cantonese--- which is both a domino game and a style of poker.

Just like ATLA's animals, it seems that Pai Sho is a fusion of different real life sources. In the next posts, I'll be covering the symbolism and cultural significance behind each Pai Sho tile shown in ATLA.

Like what I’m doing? Tips always appreciated, never expected. ^_^

Ideas for A MP100 x JJK Crossover

• Shigeo gets scouted after reports of the exorcism of several Special Grade curses from a mountain shrine spread. The higher ups, fearing his powers, call for the boy’s immediate execution.

• Reigen is having none of it and verbally smacks them down. Gojo is impressed and hires him as co teacher. Serizawa joins them later on.

• Mob is a Special Grade Sorcerer. However, Reigen insist on accompanying him if he deems a mission is too dangerous or cancels it outright.

• Out of all the Tokyo students, Mob gets along well the most with Yuta. He is a bit terrified of Maki but he respects her and follows her training. Panda does not faze him.

• Ritsu and Teruki visit from time to time and sometimes participate in the training. Ritsu does not like Gojo but gets on well with the other students.

• Mogami and Toji once had an encounter that ended with several buildings and a street destroyed. Only Kong Shiu knows the outcome of the fight and is keeping his mouth shut to this day.

• Reigen has no curse technique but his curse energy is so low that he only qualifies for Grade 4 sorcerer. He makes up for it by bluffing and punching. He and Nanami and Haibara attended the same class. Reigen and Nanami stopped talking after graduation but have started steps to rekindling their friendship.

• Dimple and Geto met each other once when there was a conflict in a schedule for a venue for their respective cults. Geto did not like the booger spirit and decided not to add him to his collection of curses. Dimple is a little offended by that.

• CLAW and Q have a bloody feud since the beginning that has cooled down for now. The Time Vessel Association claim a neutral stance in the conflict.
