The Origin of Mid-Autumn Cake Betting
Mid-Autumn Cake Betting originated in Tong'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province (now Xiamen, Fujian Province). It was invented by Zheng Chenggong. Betting Cake is a kind of Mid-Autumn Festival. A popular entertainment activity in which the combination of the results of throwing six dice is used to determine the prizes for the participants. The traditional prizes are moon cakes of different sizes. The first prize is 1 top prize, 2 double prizes, 4 red prizes, 8 fourth prizes, 16 double prizes, and 32 first prizes.
It is said that this game can predict a person's luck in the next year. After the Opium War, Xiamen gradually became an important port city on China's southeastern coast, and the custom of pie betting became more popular. The game developed from a family game to a game among relatives, friends and even social groups.
