1, the crystallization of wisdom
The order of drinking is not only the expression of the ancient hospitality tradition, but also the crystallization of their drinking art and wisdom. It was first born in the Western Zhou Dynasty and completed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Drinking regulations are particularly popular among literati, and poems are often written in praise. For example, Bai Juyi has a poem that says: When you are drunk, you will break your spring worries, and when you are drunk, you will make wine.
2. Yaling
The ancient wine orders were divided into Yaling and your legend. The elegant order is to promote a person to be an official first, or to write a poem or a pair. Others will continue the order according to the meaning of the first order, and the continuation must be consistent in content and form.
Otherwise, you will be punished for drinking. When making an elegant wine list, we must quote the classics, rhyme, improvise and improvise, which requires drinkers to be literary, talented and agile, so showing the talents of drinkers in the wine list is the best project.
3. Supervisor
The main methods of general orders are dice, drawing lots, punching cards, guessing, etc. General ordering is easy to create a lively atmosphere in the banquet, so it is more popular. However, it is impolite to order prisoners to fight and shout loudly. So maybe in order to maintain the order of the banquet, there used to be such a position as supervisor on the wine table. There was also an imperial edict in the Han Dynasty, which was to execute an imperial edict at a banquet to punish those who didn't finish the wine in the cup.
4. Swallow shooting
In ancient times, there was a shooting ceremony, and the banquet was called "shooting a swallow". That is, by archery, the outcome is decided. Losers drink. There is also the common "throwing pot" in today's film and television works, which also originated from the shooting ceremony in the Western Zhou Dynasty. A pot is set on the banquet, and the guests throw arrows into the pot in turn. Those who throw more will win, and those who lose will be punished for drinking.
5. Same quantity
Literati often use poems or couplets to guess words or riddles, while ordinary people use some simple methods without making any preparations. The most common and simplest is the same number, that is, setting a certain number as sum, then two people stretch out several fingers at the same time, and then each person reports a number. If you add the number said by A to the number in B's hand, it is the winner and the loser wants to drink.
Step 6 clench your fist
In the Tang Dynasty, people called boxing "Thumb Fight" and "Waving Order". It is recorded in "Sheng Yin Pian" that Huangfusong gesticulates for drinking, and the five fingers are famous, and the five fingers are collectively called the Five Peaks, so it can be seen that the style of Qing Boxing has a long history. Zhao Hongchuan, the history of the Five Dynasties, records that one day I will drink the chapter and the wine will make a gesture. According to the Five Miscellanies written by Ming Metabolism, the fencing tradition can be traced back to the gesture order in Han Dynasty.
7. Five champions
I often hear the saying that [two brothers are good, three peaches, four seasons are rich, five champions, six-six-six, seven smart, eight horses, nine chains, full house, mostly auspicious words, but what does five champions mean? It turns out that the imperial examinations in Ming and Qing dynasties were divided into five classics (poetry, calligraphy, ceremony, Yi, Spring and Autumn), and each time they won the first place, which was also called the champion. Those who win the first place in each classic at the same time are called the top five.
