Tiles dating from the 12th to 14th centuries have survived.

During the Qing dynasty （1644-1912）, the suits known as "Chinese" and "barbarian" were renamed to "civil" and "military" respectively to avoid offending the ruling Manchus.
Tiles with blank ends, like those found in Western "double-six" dominoes, once existed during the 17th century.
