 FAQ 11. History of Mah-Jongg
According to Cofa Tsui, Chen Yumen's calling card (image above) reveals that Zhengyue is his proper legal name, while Yumen is his nickname or familiar name.
This origin attribution (that Chen Yumen was solely responsible for modifying existing games and thereby creating the first true mah-jongg set and game) still needs more research before it can be fully accepted universally by mah-jongg scholars and historians.
For one thing, it is not known precisely what changes Chen Yumen made to the precursor games - and the exact rules of the game that Chen Yumen devised are likewise not known.

 DESORPTION STUDY OF CRUDE OIL IN YUMEN DIGGINGS'S CONTAMINATED LOESS SOILS
When pH value rises, the surfactant can be made to stimulate the reaction of inorganic alkali to the organic acid in the oil and the inorganic alkali will in turn reciprocally affect the surface of loess soil, which helps to alter the composition and electriferous surface of the said soil.
It has been discovered in our experiment that the anion surfactant intributed to the desorption of the oil in Yumen case is able to boost the desorption rate by 5 times as high as that of the original.
Since anion surfactant contributes to the increase of the negative potential energy in the oil and soil, it is also beneficial to strengthen the repulsive force of the crude oil and soil, so as to lead to the desorption content increase in the oil.
