[quote=WANHU,339428]Zheng He was a famous Muslim sea fairer in the 15th century, I am told. Mahjong or majiang is a game involves with skills, strategy and mathematics but also is associated with stakes and gambling. Thus probably the game does not originate from him. Many historians believed that it was based on a Chinese card game called madiao or ma tiae, so just because Zheng He's birth name is Ma doesn't mean he created majiang. It is believed that mahjong was developed by the great thinker, Confucius but no tangible proof was brought forth. Sometimes there are some similarities in culture, but again it doesn't mean one imitates the other. Eating rice is renowned in Indonesia, and so is in China, does that mean Indonesians imitate Chinese? Wan Wan[/quote]
