China is a country that pays attention to human feelings and interpersonal communication, so people's attention to wine table culture is also relatively high, and it has derived a lot of things related to drinking, such as boxing culture is one of them. Fist stroke, also known as open fist, guessing, guessing fist, thumb fighting, is a kind of fun game when Chinese folk drink.
Punching is when drinking, two people simultaneously extend their fingers and say a number, who says the number matches the total number of fingers extended by both sides, who wins, and the loser drinks, which is very competitive and interesting.
The culture of boxing, in fact, has a great relationship with the liquor order, is one of the Chinese folk customs, and its history can even be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, related to the "Zhou Li", which is a rule to restrain people's drinking.
However, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the "liquor order" gradually became a kind of entertainment game. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, many scholars and doctors were addicted to the "liquor order", and thus produced many excellent works, such as Bai Juyi's "Flowers are drunk with spring sorrows, and drunkenly folded flower branches as wine chips." After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the form of liquor order became more and more abundant, and it also entered the homes of ordinary people, becoming a drinking tool for Yagu to enjoy.
Liquor orders can be divided into ancient orders, ya orders, general orders, and preparation orders, of which the most popular is the general order, which mainly includes rolling dice, drawing lots, punching, guessing and so on. Many people who often appear at the banquet to draw their fists are probably very familiar with this sentence - "Brothers are good, three stars, four happy fortunes, five kuishou, six six shun, seven qiao, eight horses, nine rings, all come." So the question is, what does it mean?
The "good brothers" here is an introduction to the relationship between the two sides of the fist, "three-star illumination" is the meaning of "three-star high illumination", referring to the three stars of Fulu Shou, "four happy wealth" refers to the four seasons of fortune, and "five kuishou" refers to the simultaneous acquisition of "poems", "books", "rites", "Yi", "Spring and Autumn" "Five Classics" of the first place.
What is very special is that the "Six Six Shun" here is not the meaning of "Six Six Great Shun" as we usually understand it, but the six Great Shun of "Junyi, Subject," Father's Kindness, Filial Piety, Brotherly Love, and Brother Respect," while "Seven Qiao" is related to the story of the meeting of the Cowherd Weaver Girl Queqiao, "Eight Horses" refers to King Mu of Zhou's favorite eight horses, "Nine Rings" refers to an intellectual toy, which is a symbol of wisdom, and "All Coming" refers to the all the good things mentioned above.
Probably many people who often draw fists do not expect that the words spoken in their mouths have so many beautiful meanings, and with a little literati elegance. However, when they punched, they could not show such a state at all, the whole scene was very noisy, and there was a strong smell of alcohol.
In other words, with the development of society, as people gradually put the liquor order into their daily lives, and with the emergence of more and more people who like to drink, the liquor order has lost its original meaning, lost the original elegance and etiquette.
However, in a sense, the drinking order can make the whole atmosphere warm, and the warm environment also makes the relationship between people closer, and in a sense, it really helps interpersonal communication. I don't know alcohol, but I love to drink. I can have two mouthfuls with my father, I can draw a liquor order with my friends, and I have a lot of things to talk about at the wine table with my customers.
Today, I would like to share a recent addition to a red bar. The brand of the wine is Miga Manor, and the name of the series is Qingdai, which is very good. The acidity is a little higher than the middle, and the entrance is very surging and gives people a very refreshing feeling.
The wine is thick enough, and the taste is very full and rich, which is in line with the feeling of the grapes in the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain in Ningxia. The tannins are firm and less grainy, like heavy velvet. The aroma level of the wine is also very rich, you can feel the aroma of grapes, black cherries, plums, vanilla and black pepper, the price of more than 100 yuan is very cost-effective in the same price!
