Pot-throwing is a common game played by ancient literati during banquets, and it is also a traditional etiquette in China.
According to relevant records, throwing pots originated from shooting ceremony. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various governors would entertain guests to shoot arrows. However, because archery requires a higher venue, and not all the guests present can shoot arrows, it was later simplified to throwing pots when entertaining guests to shoot arrows.
In ancient times, the literati regarded throwing the pot as a kind of self-cultivation activity. Later, it gradually spread among the people and became the daily entertainment of ordinary people. Especially in the Tang and Song Dynasties, pot throwing was very popular.
