Dumpling is a game of traditional etiquette and feasting in ancient China. Where did it originally originate?

In ancient times, throwing pots was a game of feasting. Originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I still remember a sentence by Zuiwengting, "The joy of a banquet is not silk or bamboo, and the shooter wins chess." The "shooting" here refers to the game of "throwing the pot".

In the Warring States period, the trip of throwing pots was an entertainment when the princes invited their guests. At first, they actually invited guests to shoot arrows, but many people are not good at archery. Archery requires a higher venue, which is not very convenient and dangerous. Later it actually evolved into a throwing game. There is a pot in front. If you throw an arrow in, you must put it completely in. The loser will be fined for drinking. Over time, it has become a game when feasting.

After that, it became a game that can be played at leisure, and after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, many new games and tricks were derived, and ordinary people also participated. However, some people who respect the ethical code think it is an insult to their dignity, so they add complicated etiquette, which is one of the reasons why this activity ended up in vain. In the Qing dynasty, the pot fell completely into the long river of history.

Today, we often see the ring game in the market, in fact, it is very similar to throwing a pot, and it has become an entertainment that everyone can participate in and play.

I think the inheritance of any culture is inseparable from the needs of the people. If it only stays in the upper class or a few people can appreciate it, then after a long time, fewer and fewer people can understand it, and the scope of circulation will become narrower and narrower, and it will gradually decline.
