Dragon Pung/Kong (箭刻) — 1 Faan per Set
A Dragon Pung is worth 1 faan per set — a pung or kong of any dragon tile: Red (中), Green (發) or White (白).
What it is
The Dragon Pung is one of the easiest faan to pick up: a pung or kong of any of the three dragon tiles scores 1 faan, per set. Dragons are called 箭 ("arrows") in formal terminology, hence the Chinese name 箭刻.
How to form it
Hold any pair of dragons and wait — punging it banks an instant faan. Unlike winds, dragons don’t depend on your seat or the round: Red, Green and White score for everyone, so a dragon pair always carries value.
Example hand — 1 Faan per set
Common scoring mistake
Each set counts independently: two dragon pungs are 2 faan, not 1. One level up — two dragon pungs plus the third dragon as your pair is Small Three Dragons (5 faan), and three dragon pungs is Great Three Dragons (8 faan). At that point the named hand replaces the per-set counting; don’t stack the individual pungs on top.
Combines with
A dragon pung is the classic filler on the way to a 3-faan minimum: one set plus Self-Draw and Concealed Hand gets an ordinary hand over the line. It also fits Half Flush naturally, since honours belong in that hand anyway.
