"The next seat sends the hook spring wine warm, the split Cao shoots the wax lamp red" "Doubt that last night's spring dream was good, the yuan is the current dynasty to win the grass" "Thought to flow the qu water, the column sat second"... Embarrassed, these junior high school will memorize the poems, and now I don't know how to play the games in the poems?
Otherwise, these popular board games that the ancients were obsessed with, even the top player Cao Xueqin did not fully understand. Bi Qiang, Sai Culture, Show IQ, dazzling game settings, after watching it, I feel that I am illiterate...
High-pressure grid brain-burning type - shooting
Compared with "pesticides" and "eating chicken", the ancient games without high technology are pediatrics? The most compelling brain game ever - shoot over, learn about it.
Shooting is guessing; covering, is what is buckled under the bowl, which together means to cover an object with utensils such as urns and bowls, so that people can guess what is inside. Isn't that simple? It's actually super hard!
The gameplay is very much like guessing riddles, but in fact, according to the shape of the artifact, or according to the time at that time, the meaning of a few words or a few sentences, through the number of images in the I Ching, you can know what someone is hiding at what time, what direction, what order, and under what circumstances. And very accurate and practical, from hiding a teacup to guessing the bottom of the puzzle, to helping people occupy the treasure to find lost objects.
"Journey to the West" Che Chi Guo Dou Fa's aerial guessing is similar to shooting
Can you imagine the feeling of a worldview collapse when you lose an extremely important item and end up being accurately found in a pretentious way? This is not magic or psychology at all, but pure metaphysics.
Shooting has a long history, and legend has it that the Nine Heavenly Nieces taught the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor finally used this method to pacify Xuan You. It was not originally a game at all, but was trained by ancient metaphysicians to exercise their divination.
As a result, with the rise of intelligent civilization later, archery has gradually turned into a puzzle guessing game. Literati and celebrities are his most loyal fans, often poking and poking at hidden things to divinate and speculate with each other.
Historically, there are two players who shoot and fly: one is called Dongfang Shuo and the other is called Guan Ru. The former is the half-immortal body of the Legendary Han Dynasty, Li Bai's previous life; the latter is the Three Kingdoms Qiren, the ancestor of the Bu Gua Guan Xiang.
Shoot the top player Dongfang Shuo
Especially Dongfang Shuo, playing with archery is simply divine, through gossip you can guess the gecko hidden in the basin, was rewarded by Emperor Wu of Han, but was jealous of the favored minister Guo Sheren: "Who knows if it is lucky, you are going to be able to win me, I am willing to be beaten with a hundred sticks!" As a result, Dongfang Shuo guessed that it was a mushroom, and Guo Sheren was beaten up and screamed.
In the late Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin also liked to play the game of shooting overturning, but in the late Qing Dynasty, the high-pressure and high-tech game of shooting overturning gradually disappeared, and even Cao Xueqin wrote baoyu and Ping'er in the sixty-second time of "Dream of the Red Chamber" for their birthdays, and when they drew shooting, they also borrowed Baochao's mouth and said:
"Pull out the ancestor of a liquor order." Shooting overturned from ancient times, now lost, this is the posterity of the compilation, more difficult than all orders. ”

It can be seen that even in the era in which he lived, the aristocrats were unlikely to be overthrown.
Time-limited chant type - poetry bell
Do you think only One Stop to the End will play the "countdown" preemptive game? In fact, as early as the Jiaqing and Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty in the Fujian area, a limited-time poetry game called Shi Zhong was on fire, and the difficulty index exploded, and without a little literary accumulation, it would be abused to the point that there was no slag left.
Play with the equipment of the poetry clock
The play of the poetry bell is very simple, that is, limited to the time of a burning incense, according to the prescribed poem title, text, and type, into a couplet or multiple poems, and the bell is struck after the incense is burned out. After the poem is sung, it is not finished, and it must be supplemented as a rhythm poem according to the rules before the game is over.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Zhi's "Seven-Step Poem" was a bit like the prototype of a poetry bell; Wen Tingjun, nicknamed "Wen Eight Forks" in the Tang Dynasty, was also good at the form of time-limited poetry, with his hands arched as forks, and he rhymed with officials, and the forks completed the eight rhymes with eight hands.
Cao Zhi, a great talent who is good at writing poetry for a limited time
It doesn't sound like it's hard! Are you sure? The poetry clock requires the player to master the sound rhythm and the battle, compose the poem, the sound rhythm and the battle are more neat and subtle, to achieve the realm of natural and unconventional, but also to complete within a limited time. Only literary bulls can play this game!
Therefore, because it was too difficult, the poetry bell was only popular in Fujian and other places, and was not accepted by people in other regions.
Elegant ideal type - flowing
History is so mysterious that the appearance of a person has changed the fate of a game.
Since the ninth year of Yonghe (353) Shangwei Festival, Wang Xizhi, together with his relatives and friends Xie An, Sun Qi, and 42 other people, held a "Qushui Liuyi" activity in Lanting, which was originally a game of flow, and gradually became the elegant custom of the Shangwei Festival.

The gameplay of liuqing is also super simple: it is to find a clean place next to the clear stream to sit on the ground, put the poured wine into the stream, use the buoyancy of the water to slowly float down from the upstream, through the meandering stream, who is in front of whom to turn or stop, who will have to improvise poetry, and if you can't write poetry, you will be fined.
Highly practical and elegant, but... Environmental requirements are also high, usually in mountain streams with clear water quality. In order to be elegant and convenient for guests, later generations of celebrities also dug a canal in their own courtyard to divert water, and built a stream to play a game of bending water flow. In other words, now, if you don't want to go out, you can play a trick, unless there is a mine at home.
The Japanese version of "Daughter's Day" is full of water streams
With the blessing of Xizhi, the great bull of the calligraphy world, the elegant game of liuzhi soon spread to Japan during the Heian period and became the custom of "Daughter's Day" in Japan. However, the Japanese way of playing it is more like a folk version of wandering: people will make paper into human form, stroke it a few times, and then float it in the river, indicating that they are far away from disease.
However, this Japanese game has completely changed into a folk activity of praying for blessings, and it has no longer the elegant feeling of the original scholar class.
Natural grounding type - bucket grass
The game of the ancients is so brain-burning, let people not live? Don't panic, there is also a grounded suitable for you - fighting grass!
A grass fight that is popular with young children
Doucao is a game that is very popular in ancient times, from the literati to the peddlers and pawns, it is easy to operate, flowers, trees, vegetables, fruits can be selected to fight. How to fight? There are two kinds of wendou and martial arts to choose from:
Wendou is the name of flowers and plants, which is the most popular internet celebrity game for ancient girls. The girls pick flowers and grasses, exchange names in the form of confrontations, and compete who has many types of flowers and grasses, and the level of the battle is high, and the winner who persists to the end is the winner.
In the sixty-second time of the ancient encyclopedia of aristocratic life "Dream of the Red Chamber", there is a wonderful grass fight. In the grand view garden in the spring, the girls picked some flowers and grass and sat down to fight grass.
Xiangling and the little sisters fight grass
This one said, "I have Guanyin Willow." The one said, "I have Luo Han Pine." ”
The one said, "I have a gentleman's bamboo." This one said, "I have cannabis." ”
This one said, "I have the stars." The one said, "I have a moon and a moon." ”
As a result, because Xiangling said a "husband and wife spike", she was teased by the naughty bean official.
Martial arts is when both sides pick flexible grass (mostly plantain), and then cross each other into a "ten" shape and pull hard, and whoever wins if the grass is not broken. Adults will also bet on items or money to make martial arts more exciting.
This game is very popular with ancient men, Li Bai and Li Shangyin are platinum players who fight grass, "how to fight hundred grass, gamble on the phoenix", "hundred grass skillfully ask for flowers to fight, only bet on the pearl full bucket", it seems that there is no less money to win.
Drinking to help the fun type - flying flower order
If you cross to the Tang Dynasty, open a party at home to invite a guest, want to get praise, there is a skill to say, is to carry out the liquor order.
At that time, this was a hot event that swept the social circles of the major nobles, and the party was not hi, all because of this. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, when the social atmosphere was open, the aristocratic family did not take the guests as outsiders, and the female dependents could not avoid it, and the men and women sat together to carry out the liquor order, which was called a lively.
In "Dream of the Red Chamber", the big families have a liquor order
The simple understanding of the liquor order is an ancient art of persuasion at banquets. The ancients drank much more than modern people, not only to help with wine, but also to have wine. But it is not peanut rice, fennel beans and the like, but poetry filling words, guessing puzzles. Flying Flower Order is a game of drinking that people often played in ancient times.
The previous hit "Chinese Poetry Conference" made the flying flower make the fire special, and there was no poetry reserve that could not be played at all, but for the ancients, this was just a small case.
The Flying Flower Order appeared as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, and was further refined during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which belonged to a kind of Ya Ling. Such a beautiful name comes from the Tang Dynasty poet Han Hong's "Cold Food" "Spring City Everywhere Flying Flowers", so that the most basic play of Feihua Ling is that the poem must contain the word "flower", and the location requirements for the appearance of the word "flower" are very strict.
For example: the first sentence is "Flowers and flowers fly all over the sky", the second sentence must be "When is the spring flower and autumn moon" The third sentence is "When the flowers splash tears when the feeling is felt" The fourth sentence is "The face of the peach blossom is red" The fifth sentence is "Return the chrysanthemum"... And so on.
However, you can recite the poems of your predecessors, or you can compose your own poems on the spot. If you can't memorize, memorize, or even write poems, it won't help you, the liquor officer will quickly pour the bar.

Of course, in addition to flying flowers, you can also fly clouds, spring, moon, night and other high-frequency words to reduce the difficulty coefficient. If you want to challenge, try flying "monk" and "bell" to see how many songs you can fly.
Today, when we can open our mobile phones and enjoy all kinds of video games with one click, we still shout boring, and more and more feel that the ancients without video games must be more boring, which is actually a big mistake.
The games of the ancients, with a strong social and puzzle nature, in the game, not only can enhance the emotion, but also can learn.
Use archery to explore the unknown, play the flow of elegance, use the grass to get close to nature... It is a little more warm than the modern day playing mobile games behind closed doors. This is probably the reason why even if we live in the era of intelligence, we still can't imagine the life of the ancients.
