6. East Wind winning on original draw from the wall. This [wind] has preference over washing cards. The Chinese consider this hand as a forecast of misfortunes to come.

7. A winning hand containing the 3 sets of dragons; red, green and white. In China these are known as the 3 Doctors of Literature. The inference of course being that many tiles must be turned away before these three sets can be made up just as many students in China are turned away by competitive examinations before the three best scholars are chosen to pursue their studies at the Royal Court with the title of Doctors of Literature.
