The civil tiles are ranked according to the Chinese cultural significance of the tile names, and must be memorized.  The [[hendiatris]] of {{ill|Three talents|zh|三才|lt=heaven, earth, and man}} ({{lang|zh|天地人}}) dates back for over two thousand years <ref>{{cite web |url=http://ctext.org/pre-qin-and-han?searchu=%E5%A4%A9%E5%9C%B0%E4%BA%BA |title=Chinese Text Project}}</ref> while the harmony ({{lang|zh|和}}) of the three have been in dice and domino games since at least the Ming dynasty. Remembering the suits and rankings of the tiles is easier if one understands the Chinese names of the tiles and the symbolism behind them.
