Archived from groups: rec>games>mahjong (more info?)

This is a 2nd try of the post.

Here Shanghai Classical majiang refers to the majiang game popular in
Shanghai, especially in the whorehouses, in about 1890s~1910s. The
reconstruction is based on the various late Qing Chinese literatures
and three earliest Chinese majiang manuals, of which two was not later
than 1914 and another one was not later than 1920. This is just a
draft version.
