Bo Cake is a unique Mid-Autumn Festival traditional activity of Minnan people for hundreds of years. Whenever the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, tables of rich cakes will be set up in the streets and alleys of Xiamen, and neighbors, regardless of gender, age and age, will participate in it one after another, in order to win a good lottery, so as to pin their yearning for a better life.
In the Expo, the person who finally won the first prize can not only get rich prizes, but also wear the first prize clothes and the first prize hat, which really seems to have a feeling of being the "first prize winner" and returning to his hometown.

As a national intangible cultural heritage development project, Bobbing originated in Tongan County, Quanzhou (now Tongan, Xiamen). According to legend, the Mid-Autumn Festival Bo Cake was invented by Hong Xu by the Ministry of Life in order to relieve the soldiers' love for Mid-Autumn Festival and inspire their morale when Zheng Chenggong stationed troops. After being passed down from generation to generation, it has become a unique folk custom in southern Fujian.
As a popular entertainment activity during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bo Bing uses the combination of six dice to decide the prizes of the participants. The traditional prizes are moon cakes of different sizes. After a while, there will be one champion, two in the hall, four in three, eight in four, 16 in two and 32 in one show. According to legend, this game can predict people's luck in the next year.
