Can only play mobile phones during the New Year? Check out those interesting traditional games of the ancients

In the pre-Qin period, "The Book of Songs" contains a large number of poems depicting feasts, such as "Xiaoya·Southern Jiayu", which has the sentence "The gentleman has wine, the guests can enjoy the swallow." Among the ceremonial scriptures, "Ritual", , "Swallow Ceremony", which describes the ceremony of the banquet guest and host, "Book of Rites", has "Yan Yi" on the banquet, which is of great significance. The trust and harmony expressed good expectations.

Of course, the ancient rituals of the pre-Qin Dynasty were complicated and given more political meaning, which is still very different from today.

So, the Chinese wine table culture has also received special attention.

However, because scandals of bad habits on the wine table are frequently seen in the news, the term "drinking table culture" is now on the scene, which often reminds people of negative images that persuade drinking and alcoholism, and some people think of China's "drinking table culture" since ancient times. Disregard the image and speak out.

Ancient: I am not, I don’t, don’t talk nonsense. Xiaoyin said that drinking is to comply with the "Basic Law"!

You may be confused when you come here. What else can you do besides drinking, chatting, and gossip on the wine table at ?

ancient people: look at our banquet activities, it is really super rich!

Yes, as far as "eat" is concerned, ancient China has actually spawned various entertainment activities. For example, one of the most marketable games among the scholars is Xing Jiu Ling .

I must be familiar with the "Dream of Red Mansions" among the four classics, right? In "Dream of Red Mansions", the scene of Baoyu and the others at the banquet in Jia's Mansion was vividly performed many times. And Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun joined together to write the pomp of the wine order, which is " divides Cao Zun's order, shoots and listens to Sanyi. The dice is red as a dot, and the flower drum is indiscriminate. "

So what is the wine order? ? What should I do?

In fact, in a strict sense, the drink order does not specifically refer to a certain game, but a general term for a class of games. As mentioned in the joint sentence above, dice order, shooting cover, guessing, drumming and passing flowers, and throwing pot are all categories of wine order.

and the earliest "drinking order" is related to the supervising participant not drinking too much at the banquet, in order to prevent gaffes from disturbing the etiquette and law officials such as "supervisors" and "historical". It is a kind of "drinking order"— -Orders must be done, liquor is fined for violations. In this way, under the coordination of the "Lingguan", the frequency of drinking can be adjusted freely by .

makes , the most common one. The ancients engraved the drinking rules and order words on the order made of bamboo and wood, and placed them in the pick-up tube. The officer drank a glass first, announced the start of the order, and everyone took turns shaking a drink, and responded according to the label of Ling.

There are also many kinds of order words , such as occupying the flower name -each sign is painted with flowers and plants, and an old poem is attached. When you get it, you will proceed as stated on the sign.

catching Cao Cao to make is also very interesting. Let's start with the production of Lingchiao. There are twelve Lingchiao roots, which are written as Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Five Tigers of Shu, and General Wei. Participants are twelve people, each draw one as their own identity and cannot tell others. The person who got Zhuge Liang started to order Cao Cao, and he guessed it the first time, so he “heavily punished” according to Zhuge Liang's request. If it was the second time, Cao Cao would reduce the penalty and decrease in order. If it is a Shu general, he can be asked to help point out Cao Cao, if it is a Wei general, an order will be issued for one of the Shu generals to guess the boxer, and so on.

Shooting over is also a kind of drinking game, and its core is-"Guess".

We are now playing shooting and covering games, Xiaoyin covering, you shoot.

Xiaoyin (see the tree): "Dongfeng"

You look around, look for things related to "Dongfeng", see the tree, and guess that you have taken the code of "Dongfeng Nights, Thousands of Flowers", and you know it here Covering a "tree", there is a tree-related classic-"Several early warblers compete for warmth on the tree", so you say "ying".

Xiaoyin (nodding), which means that this round is a successful "shoot".

From this point of view, in fact, the shooting game is based on a mystery that everyone knows in the bottom of their hearts. They confront each other with the code .

It seems that the games of the literati are a bit complicated...

, isn’t this coming! Xiaoyin is a simple and easy to use, but also because of the large variables that make people worry about the game- drumming and passing flowers . As we all know, the drum beats the flowers, the drum stops, and the flower holders are punished. However, nowadays, storytelling and singing may be too common, and the combination of truth or dare is also a game for reference!

The hit drama "Celebrating More Than Years" some time ago I don’t know if everyone has watched it? Previously, Xiaoyin had a brainstorm with everyone in "Brain Hole Question: On Clothing "Qing Yu Nian" Which Dynasty Is More Like?".

One of the clips that Xiaoyin finds very funny is the scene where Fan Sizhe sees who wants to push Pai Gow with whom .

Xiaoyin can’t help asking, what is Pai Gow? Does it have anything to do with Mahjong?

The origin of Pai Gow dates back to the Northern Song Dynasty Xuanhe period, when a game appliance called "domino" appeared. Each set of dominoes has 32, divided into Wenzi and Wuzi .

The pair of cards is Wenzi , including the sky, earth, people, goose three long and four short, a total of 11 types of cards, two of each type, there are 22 cards, and another 10 cards is not a pair. Takeshi .

Although it sounds a bit around , Pai Gow is actually relatively simple to play. Whether it is big or small, the center of gravity is- is "bigger than big" . The combination of

with the largest card is called "Supreme Treasure", followed by "Tian", "Land", "People", "Harmony", "Plum Blossom", "Long Three", "Long Two", " "Tiger Head" waits for pairs, but the miscellaneous cards that cannot form a pair are even smaller.

When pushing Pai Gow, everyone takes turns to sit on the bank. The banker piles up the cards and throws out the points. The participants take the cards in order and compare them with the banker.

Small Pai Gow is easier, each person only needs to draw two cards to compare the size.

also uses the above-mentioned domino declaration and card , Tianjiu is another way to play, although it is relatively large, but more complicated.

The number of participants is the same as playing mahjong. Tianjiu is four people together.

first roll the dice, draw and play according to the points. In addition to the distinction between civil and military cards, there are three types of cards, namely big cards, long cards, and short cards. In the same type of cards, big cards can be played with small cards, but different types of cards cannot be played with each other, long cards can be played with short cards, and short cards are distinguished by the number of points.

sounds vaguely familiar, right? It seems to be very similar to our current poker game, are all following cards, but sometimes they are not face-to-face, but the cards are placed face down, so until the final "knot", no one can know who wins and who loses. .

Having said the peace card, let’s talk about the silent peace card. Although is only one word difference, the source is quite different!

mohe card belongs to the "horse tag" system, if it is traced back, you can get a game called "leaf play".

The origin of the leaf opera is the blossoming of a hundred flowers, or some people say it is related to the marching pastime of the Han Dynasty, and some people say that the liquor license of the Tang Dynasty is actually its birthplace. Of course, regardless of the origin, the Ye Zi Opera flourished during the Tang and Five Dynasties! Regardless of men and women, young and old, palace courtyards or in the streets and towns, this kind of beautiful paintings with characters, allusions of emperors, generals, talented men, beautiful ladies, and gods and ghosts are written, which can be described as "Meeting each other every year"! How fashionable was

"leaf play" at the time? Let’s take a look at Xiao Zhouhou, the concubine of Li Yu, the queen of Southern Tang Dynasty. Her main work is the "Shooting the Meng Xiaoyege" , which tells the gameplay of "leaf play"!

During the Ming Dynasty Tianqi period, the leaf opera evolved into a horse tag , which appeared in the public's field of vision. The horse tag pays attention to "smart, wisdom and skill". Feng Menglong wrote "The Thirteen Chapters of the Paijing" stating that "every card is in the hands of the hand...they can be caught but the ones who are indulged are also bait...the ones who hide the surplus and leave the empty... More..." So, so on, talking about the skills of riding a horse crane. Xiaoyin said, "do not do business properly" so serious, telling the truth is convincing!

In the Qing Dynasty, one of the horse tags was simplified to have only three cards: "Wanzi", "Suozi", and "Wenqian". These are mohe and . In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, "look at bamboo" appeared.

zWhy is 3z

"watching bamboo"? This means that Wang Xizhi is so obsessed with bamboo that he sighs, "How can there be no such monarch in a day?" People in the late Qing Dynasty were obsessed with "playing mahjong" like Wang Xizhi's love bamboo, so they had such an elegant title.

Mahjong or Pai Gow are actually card games in traditional Chinese games. Although they are not of the same origin, they all drift overseas by coincidence. The former include Japanese Mahjong , American Charleston Mahjong Z44z, Filipino Mahjong, and other genres, the latter went to Milan with the Italian missionary Domino, and became what we know today as the "domino" .

When the flowers are blooming in spring, the people of Tang dynasty carry wine on horses and move between flower gardens and gardens, feeling wild. "If you wait for the flowers in the forest to be beautiful, you will be the flower-watchers when you go out." has such a grand occasion, which led to the birth of the flower market in one fell swoop.

In the poetic intoxication of nature, in the pursuit of all kinds of beautiful things, "Fighting Herbs", "Fighting Flowers", "Fighting Tea" and many other games have emerged.

In ancient times, "Fighting Herbs" was mostly a game for women and children, and it was also played by adult men. Bai Juyi's "Viewing Children's Play" made "Flick the dust to fight the grass, and enjoy the day." This is a children's "Battle Grass Play".

Li Qingzhao's "Wanxi Sand" has "Haiyan will fight grass in the future, Jiang Mei has passed the willows, and the rain and wet swing at dusk." is the scene of outdoor women laughing Yan Yan, fighting grass for fun.

"Fighting grass" can be divided into two types: fighting and fighting.

The method of "fighting" is very simple and clear. They hold a piece of grass and hold the two ends of a piece of grass with both hands. The two grasses intersect and pull. The first one loses.

It can be seen that the "fighting" fights the grass tension and toughness , which can be opened at any time.

"Wen Dou" is more famous. For example, you can collect the number of flowers and plants in a bucket. The more collects, the more complete the categories, the better, the peculiar species, the better the name, and the better. What is the name

? The ancients said: "Auspicious but rare wins."

seems to have the cursive name "Polygala" and the cursive name "Forget Worry". In life, who can be worry-free? If you can forget your worries, it is naturally a beautiful thing, so it is slightly better.

Another common "Wendou", also known as "Moutou" , is mainly the name for flowers and plants.

These flowers and plants can either be picked actually, or they can come from the knowledge reserve in the brain out of thin air.

How to fight?

The party participating in the game will first say the name of a kind of flower, and the other side is like a pair, and the name of another flower is opposite. The small print of

prints "Gentleman Bamboo".

prints "Setaria", then "cockscomb" can be used. The small print of

printed "Guanyin Liu" and the respondent would say "Podocarpus".

is so particular about confrontation, and keeps being right until the other party can't answer.

"Dou Hua" is also similar to "Dou Baicao", emphasizing the quality of flowers, the wonder of flowers and the many flowers.

"Kaiyuan Tianbao" records the story of Wang Shi'an fighting flowers in Chang'an . The book says: "Wang Shi'an in Chang'an fights flowers in spring. The person who wears the strange flowers wins, and the famous Qianjin city flowers are planted in the garden. , To prepare for the fight in the spring." It is really "prepared" fully.

Xiaoyin: Can you do this? stunned.

In addition to the above games, in traditional entertainment activities, the ancients of seem to have the idea that everything can be used to fight (?), there are also "cockfighting", "cricket fighting", "fighting incense" , etc. The former two have put a lot of effort in training, while the latter is quite poetic.

Seeing this, I wonder if you all, like Xiaoyin, want to get the same game activities of the ancients?

Are there any interesting traditional games in your hometown?

look forward to you chatting with Xiaoyin in the message!
