What is the meaning of Bo Cake in Xiamen?

Bocai, which originated in Gulangyu Island, Xiamen, Fujian Province, and began in the early Qing Dynasty, is a unique mooncake culture and a kind of inheritance of history by southern Fujian people. According to legend, the mid-autumn mooncake was invented by Zheng Chenggong when he was stationed at Gulangyu Island to relieve his soldiers' mid-autumn longing and to motivate and inspire their morale. Thus, it has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a unique folk custom in southern Fujian today.

In modern Pokka customs, there is also the rule of "chase". Specifically, the later winner of a prize above the hall is allowed to chase the prize from the previous winner of the prize before the other prizes are taken.

There are many grades of Scholarship, and the following grades of Scholarship are listed from smallest to largest, as follows:

If there are four Four Points, then the Scholarship will be awarded to the person who compares the size of the other two dice, and the person who has the largest number of points will win the game.

There are five of the same points, five 4 with a point other than 4 is called "five kings", in addition to 4 of the same number with a number other than itself, such as 222226, known as the five with 6, five with only compare the size of the number of the five and the size of the five same points have nothing to do, if they are all If all of them are five and have the same number of points, then the first one to get to the game is the winner.

If there are six "four points", it is called "six shovelfuls of red", which is bigger than the previous ones, and you can take the first prize and all the remaining prizes.

If there are 4 "four dots" plus 2 "one dots", then it is called "Scholar's Golden Flower", which is the biggest among the scholars and can take away the scholars and all the prizes of the other halls.

The prizes for the first prize winner will be taken after all the prizes have been taken, and the winner of the last largest prize winner will be able to take away the prizes, and if the winner is the "first prize winner inserting a golden flower" or the "six cups of red", there are also all the prizes of the two pairs of halls that will be taken away.

Additionally, the five children in the first five of the same size, and then compare the number of points in the sixth band for the traditional Xiamen outside the region of the misinterpretation of the rules of the Pokora. For example: 222226 and 333331 are five, 22222 with 6, 33333 with 1, then 6>1, 222226 big.

Four-in with one show and four-in with two moves are also commonly misinterpreted.
