the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming
2020-09-24 15:30
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second most important traditional festival in China (the most important one is Chinese New Year).
Our company orgnized a celebration for it, we have a dinner first, then we began to paly a traditional game call: Mooncake gambling.
For centuries, the Mid-Autumn Festival has encouraged family reunions, big
feasts and enjoyment of a beautiful full moon. But for people in Xiamen, their
exciting games have just started. A special custom “Moon-cake Gambling” will
take place in every Mid-autumn Festival.
You
find a pack of six dice inside after opening every gaudily decorated box of
mooncakes.
Gambling? Right, but it is
definitely legal. Because the stakes among the locals are mooncakes - and that
is how this unique celebrating activity has got its Chinese name "Bo Bing." It
is played only around the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Easy
to play though, the games have quite complicated rules hard to remember. So it
is thoughtful for some mooncake manufacturers to print the rules on the package.
All the "Bo
Bing" game requires are six dice and a china bowl. Just throw the dice into the
bowl - and the different pips you get stand for different ranks of awards you
will win.
Welcome to Xiamen city, Fujian province, when walking along streets in this tiny island during this time, you will hear the pleasant silvery sound of the dice rolling. Cheers of winning or loss are everywhere.
