Quick answer
An Even Numbers hand is built only from twos, fours, sixes and eights. Lines in this group vary in how many suits they use and whether dragons or flowers join the numbers.
How to recognise it in a deal
A rack that skews even after the deal, with several copies among the even numbers and few odds, is the sign. The discipline is passing the odd tiles early rather than hedging, since only four numbers qualify and every odd tile is dead weight.
