Drinking order is a drinking game for fun at banquets, which was first born in the Western Zhou Dynasty and completed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Generally, one person is chosen as an official, and others are asked to take turns telling poems, couplets or other similar games. Those who violate the order or lose will be punished for drinking, so it is also called "ordering drinking".
Wine orders are divided into elegant orders and general orders.
The order method of Yaling is: first, promote one person to be an official, or write a poem, or write a pair, and the others will continue the order according to the meaning of the first order. The continuation must be consistent in content and form, otherwise they will be fined.
Play drinkers' game
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 rude, monotonous and noisy to give orders to grab fists and fight loudly.
Drinking orders, not only treat guests with wine, but also drink things, are often accompanied by poems and songs, guessing fists. It requires drinkers to be agile, witty, literary and talented. Therefore, the drinking order is not only the expression of the ancient hospitality tradition, but also the crystallization of their drinking art and wisdom.
Drinking regulations are a unique way for China people to entertain themselves when drinking. Liquor orders have a long history. At first, it may be to set up a "prison" to maintain order at the banquet. There was an "imperial edict" in the Han Dynasty, that is, an imperial edict was executed at the banquet to punish those who did not finish the wine in the cup.
Generally speaking, alcoholic drinks are used to punish alcohol. However, the main purpose of implementing the wine order is to enliven the atmosphere when drinking. What's more, it is common for people to sit at a banquet and not know each other. Orders act as catalysts to enliven the atmosphere at the party.
There are many ways to order wine. Literati and ordinary people naturally have different drinking orders. Literati often use poems or couplets to guess words or riddles, while ordinary people use some simple methods without making any preparations.
What are the famous wine lists?
The most common and simplest is "the same number", which is now commonly called "guessing boxing", that is, the gestures of several fingers represent a certain number. After two people have dealt with each other, the sum will be equal to a certain number. At the same time, everyone reported a number. If the sum of the figures mentioned in A is exactly the same as the sum of the figures added, it is considered as the winner and the loser has to drink. If two people say the same number, try again regardless of the result.
Delivery of packages: This is a lively and nervous way to punish alcohol. At the banquet, the guests took their seats in turn. One person beat the drum and the bouquet began to pass in turn. When the drums sound, if someone has the bouquet, that person will have to pay a fine. So the bouquet spread quickly, and everyone was afraid that it would stay in their own hands. Drummers should also have some skills, which are tight and slow, creating an unpredictable atmosphere and aggravating the tension on the field. Once the drums stop, everyone will look at the flower pickers in unison. At this time, everyone laughed in laughter and the tension disappeared.
Or some more modern games, such as: reporting seven: one table 1, when the mantissa is 7 or a multiple of 7 (for example, 7, 14, 17), the whistleblower can't make a sound. Instead, he will knock chopsticks or strike the table, and the person who makes a mistake will be fined.
