However much they love gambling, Chinese also emphasize the ethics of the game. It is said that "one should choose a son-in-law at the gambling table," because that is where one can see the true character of another in the face of sudden gains or losses.
雖然愛賭，但中國人也強調賭品，一句諺語「牌桌上選女婿」，就是講在賭博面對輸贏時，可讓一個人的品性修養一覽無遺，可見賭品的重要。
