Features: The trial version of "Rules for Chinese Upgrading Competition" has three distinct characteristics: First, it is inclusive. Although it cannot fail to standardize the diverse playing styles to reflect the seriousness of the rules, it maintains a tolerant attitude toward local habitual play, striving to avoid conflicts between the content that attracts the masses and the provisions of the rules. Second, it fully considers the level of public acceptance, making the trial version transitional. A typical example is the rule for discarding the bottom card. Third, it combines popularization with improvement. The rules propose a new concept of the "" competition format and the use of standard scoring, which can be said to represent the direction of the development of upgrading competitions. It is reasonable to expect that this format will be adopted in future national and formal competitions.
