Learn about the complex origin of a simple game.
Rock, paper, scissors is an easy game that nearly everyone knows how to play. In the game, at least two people make hand gestures that represent rock, paper, or scissors at the same time. The rules are simple: Rock crushes scissors, paper covers rock, and scissors cut paper. However, most people don’t know where the game came from.
The earliest record of a similar game appeared in an ancient Chinese book more than 2,000 years ago. In that game, the hand gestures represented a bird, a snake, and a human. From China, the game spread to Japan, where, in the 17th century, it evolved into another game called janken. This game used the familiar modern form of the hand shapes for rock, paper, and scissors.
Throughout the 20th century, the game started to spread across regions outside Japan. This was mainly due to Japan’s increased contact with Western countries. During the 1920s and the 1930s, rock, paper, scissors was introduced to European countries and the United States. In 1927, a French children’s magazine wrote about the game in detail. Five years later, The New York Times wrote an article about the rules of the game for American readers. Since then, rock, paper, scissors has been widely used by people around the world to solve arguments or just to pass the time.

中文翻譯
剪刀、石頭、布是一個簡單的遊戲，幾乎每個人都知道怎麼玩。在遊戲中，至少有兩個人同時做出代表石頭、布或剪刀的手勢。規則很簡單：石頭摧毀剪刀，布覆蓋石頭，剪刀剪破布。然而，大多數人並不知道這款遊戲從何而來。
類似遊戲的最早記載出現在兩千多年前的一本中國古書中。在那款遊戲中，手勢代表了鳥、蛇和人。該遊戲從中國傳播到日本，並在十七世紀演變為另一種稱為 janken 的遊戲。該遊戲使用了人們熟悉的現代手勢形式，代表石頭、布和剪刀。
在二十世紀期間，這款遊戲開始遍布到日本以外的地區。這主要是由於日本與西方國家的接觸增加。在 1920 和 1930 年代，剪刀、石頭、布被引進歐洲國家和美國。1927 年，一本法國兒童雜誌詳細記載了這款遊戲。五年後，《紐約時報》為美國讀者寫了一篇關於遊戲規則的文章。從那時起，剪刀、石頭、布就被世界各地的人們廣泛用來解決爭端或單純打發時間。
