5. Wood shooting

Wooden ball shooting, also known as fifteen-pillar ball, is an indoor activity form in which players hit fifteen bamboo shoots with wooden balls in turn, which came into being and prevailed in the Tang Dynasty.

Shooting wood is a very special ball game. Lu Bing of the Tang Dynasty wrote a book about shooting wood and gave a very detailed introduction to this activity. Unfortunately, this book has been lost.

In the Song Dynasty, Chao, a contemporary, had read this book, so he gave a brief answer to the "Shooting Wood Map" in his "Reading Records of County Zhai", which left us with a more vivid description of shooting wood: using wood to cut bamboo shoots as targets, shrinking upward and expanding to a flat bottom, not easy to fall over, a total of 15 branches.

These fifteen bamboo shoots are divided into two categories: one is painted red and engraved with the words benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faithfulness, softness, kindness, courtesy, frugality and concession, totaling ten; The other is painted black and engraved with five words: slow, arrogant, ugly, greedy and abusive.

During the activity, fifteen bamboo shoots were placed at one end of the flat ground and the thrower was at the other end. Wooden balls are used to beat bamboo shoots at the other end, so that those who beat vermilion bamboo shoots win and those who beat ink lose. Finally, whoever shoots Zhu Hong down will be the ultimate winner.
