These are elegant ways for educated people to help wine at the dinner table, while uneducated people, such as farmers and pawns, can't recite poems when drinking. So how to drive the passion on the wine table?
When I was boxing, drinking three rounds and eating five flavors, I even shouted and gestured, "Five champions, six hundred and sixty-six, seven clever, eight horses." My face was flushed and the wine table was very lively.
China's "Fencing Boxing" is a digital fighting game. With finger technique, whose number is the biggest winner. Later, a modifier was added in front of the number, which made it look like boxing on the wine table today. And "five crowns and eight horses" and so on all have historical basis or the meaning of blessing, and each fencing password has its own meaning.
Ancient people in China liked to "eat without talking, sleep without talking", especially when eating with elders, it was inevitable that the atmosphere would be depressed. Once friends come, the situation on the wine table is different.
Drinking is to create an atmosphere, especially in China. Getting a friend drunk is a kind of respect. If you can't persuade them to drink, you are worried that your friends will not enjoy themselves. To this end, we must find a reason for how to make everyone drink more and have fun.
Before the start of the wine game, it is natural that the two sides exchange greetings and then exchange greetings, and as soon as these words are finished, they begin to be silent. At this time, if you start fighting wine, guessing medals and punching cards, the atmosphere on the whole table will begin to be lively. "Flying Flowers Order" and "Fighting Poems" are the favorite ways for literati to help wine, and they like to spread it through culture.
However, it is difficult for ordinary people. After all, the popularity of ancient culture is not high, so people like to help wine in the simplest way, such as guessing boxing.
Fencing originated in the Tang Dynasty and was called "Gesture Order" at the end of the Tang Dynasty. It means that through finger gestures, representing one to ten digits, drinkers face each other, shout loudly and gesture at the same time, and then divide the winners and losers by the size of the digits, and the losers will be fined. This kind of atmosphere will make the boxer's mood high, and it will also drive others' interest.
In the Qing Dynasty, Ji Cheng, a poem by Han Jiang, said: "The thumb is divided into Cao, and the laughter is harmonious."
After the popularity of fencing, the whole Tang Dynasty, from eunuchs to vendors, used it to help people get drunk. In addition to gathering friends, my family will drink five drinks and six strokes on holidays, completely ignoring the rules set by our ancestors.
The meaning of fencing, the representative of fencing, looks a bit vulgar, but if you understand it deeply, you will find that it has extremely rich meanings. For example, when Sichuan and Chongqing people draw fists, the first sentence they say must be "Brother II". That is to say, fencing starts from two aspects. The first round is not about winning or losing, but greeting each other, which embodies the traditional thought of China people that winning or losing is the second, friendship is the first, and "harmony is the most important".
"One", called "One Heart", comes from the poet Du Fu's poem "One Heart Achieves Great Things". "Two", in addition to calling two brothers good, also means "Erlang takes the mountain", which comes from the fairy tale of Erlang saving his mother. "Three" means that Samsung shines high in Taoyuan, and three means auspicious blessing. "Four" means wishing each other four seasons a fortune. "Five" is the top five. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, scholars were divided into five subjects: poetry, calligraphy, ceremony, Yi, and Spring and Autumn. Each subject is next to one, which is called "the top five". It can also be said that it means "five children are admitted to the department". "Six" means "Six Shun", which comes from Zuo Zhuan: Junyi, Chenxing, Fatherly Kindness, Filial Piety, Brothers and Friends, and Gongxiong. Later, it gradually became a great success and became a blessing to others. Everything went well. "Seven" is a clever number, seven clever festivals and begging festivals. Eight is eight horses, which originated from eight fine horses in Zhou Wenwang. Nine represents Kyushu in the world. "Ten" is a perfect greeting. The evolution of fitness boxing is not as simple as when it first appeared. Fitness boxing in the Tang Dynasty is called "five elements boxing", which puts fingers on gold, wood, water, fire and earth and punches with five elements. In addition, there are more complicated rules, such as "Full Sweat Boxing", "Five Poisons Boxing" and "Never mention anything".
Among them, "silent" requires the boxer to punch, that is, the elbow should not leave the table, and the "one" and "ten" should be removed when punching, and many people are fined because they are too excited to forget the rules.
Because these rules are too complicated, some tedious rules are gradually abandoned after a long time, and finally evolved into our simple and clear rules.
Generally speaking, the fist-making order was originally evolved from the elegant "flying flower order". In the Tang Dynasty, flying flowers and writing poems were called "literary wine drama", while the boxing paintings in "martial wine drama" were called "gesture drama". Military wine dramas also include: throwing pots, archery, qu shui and so on.
The "kui" in the conclusion of the "top five scholar" means "the first star of Beidou", which means first and tall. It is a great honor for a person to have a clear conscience. This is also a mutual blessing between ancient scholars, which means that being the top scholar is the top student in high school.
"Eight Horses" are eight horses in Zhou Wenwang. Zhou Wenwang was a pioneer of the Western Zhou Dynasty and a wise king in ancient times. His chariot is pulled by eight good horses, and only those with meritorious service can ride it. Calling eight horses means climbing high as soon as possible and becoming a master.
In restaurants, food stalls and other places, you can always see many people shouting and punching cards to help you get drunk, but now people like to eat quietly and elegantly, so the way of punching cards in public places is gradually decreasing. More people like the elegant "a little bee, fly to the flowers, fly ..."
Although this kind of boxing has lost its heroic atmosphere in the past, more girls are involved. After all, there is no need to shout as loudly as before, which is detrimental to the image of a lady.
