Throw a pot and shoot? Boxing, card rubbing, archery, singing and dancing are the most elementary ways to play. Some ancient games were also quite simple and rude. The spoon order and wine twist order, which are quite popular on the wine table in Qing Dynasty, are as full of random meanings as our modern wine bottles, except that people turn not the wine bottles, but the spoons and wine glasses, and whoever the handle of the spoon points at or whose face the wine glasses face will drink them.
Guessing boxing can be traced back to the "Gesture Order" in the Han Dynasty. Since ancient times, games have come down in one continuous line, and several fingers and gestures represent a certain number. Two people, each quote a number. If someone happens to quote a number, which is the sum of the numbers compared by two people, it is the winner and the loser drinks.
The ancients also played dice with tricks, from simple counting to complex guessing, but the highest realm was to write poems with dice. This style of play was widely carried forward in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. People compiled a large number of wine lists according to the symbols of picking points on six sides of dice. Some wine lists have even played more than 200 rounds with multiple dice, and they can't be played all at once.
In addition to some wonderful drinking methods, the ancients also explored a lot of experience in the long history of wine, which benefited future generations.
1. Don't mix drinks. Drinking a variety of wines will produce some new chemical components, which will make people feel irritable and have a headache.
2. Don't drink on an empty stomach? Because wine will be decomposed by the liver after entering the human body. The liver needs various vitamins to maintain in the process of decomposition. If there is no food in the gastrointestinal tract at this time, alcohol will be absorbed quickly, leading to muscle disorder.
3. Don't drink hard liquor? Drink in moderation, after all, drinking too much is useless.
