What are the rules of the game of Flying Flower Order?

The ancient flying flower order requires that the poems spoken by people should be consistent with the rhymes sung by people, and the position where good words appear is also strictly required. These poems can be recited by predecessors or improvised.

You can use poems and songs when flying flowers, but the sentences you choose are generally no more than seven words. For example, at the banquet, A said a poem with the first word "flower", such as "flower, as high as my window, hurts the wandering heart". B The poem should be continued with the word "flower" in the second word, such as "bloom's flowers fall and meet the monarch". C can be followed by "spring dawn and moonlight", and "flower" is in the third position.

After Ding, "Peach Blossoms with Human Faces Set each other off in Red" and "Flowers" came in fourth place. Then, it can be "I didn't know the waves came first", "People who go out look at flowers" and "Frost leaves are redder than February flowers". When the flower is in the position of the seventh word, a round is completed and the cycle can continue. One by one, when people can't write or recite poems, or write or recite them wrongly, drinkers order them to drink.

At the banquet, there can be some changes in the way of ordering food, such as saying a poem with the word "flower" directly, and the position of the word "flower" in the poem corresponds to a guest, and the guest will pick it up again. If it happens to correspond to yourself, the wine will be fined. If the lines make people say "the shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village", and the word "flower" is in the sixth position, count from the lines to the sixth person to receive the bill. If the sixth person happens to be the line for people to drink.

In addition, there is another way to order food: when ordering food with flying flowers, the first word in the poem is "flower", that is, the first person drinks in a certain order. For example, there is a description in Ba Jin's novel "Home": "Shu Ying said,' When the flowers fall, you will be a gentleman', and it's time for Shu Hua below to eat wine."

The Historical Origin of Flying Flower Order

Flying Flower Order was originally one of the games to add fun by drinking, and the loser would be fined for drinking.

Liquor order is an important part of liquor culture. It is a game of feasting for fun, which originated from the Confucian Book of Rites and was first born in the Zhou Dynasty. The drinking order is not only the expression of the ancient hospitality tradition, but also the crystallization of their drinking art and wisdom.

The drinking order represented by "Flying Flower Order" is actually a unique entertainment game for China people when drinking. Flying flowers make it elegant and smart, and people without poetry skills can't play it at all, so this kind of wine order has become a favorite word game for literati, and even its name comes from poetry. Because there is a phrase in Han Yi's famous poem Cold Food in the Tang Dynasty that "flowers are flying all over the sky in the spring city", it is named "Flying Flower Order".

In fact, there are many poems with the word "flying flowers" in the Tang Dynasty, such as Wu's "Flying Flowers and Silent Swallows", Gu Kuang's "Flying Flowers Covering Sandalwood", Xue Ji's "Flying Flowers Scattering Coral Branches" and "Flying Flowers on the Road". Only "flowers fly everywhere in the spring city" is the recognized origin of the "flower flying order" There are two reasons. One is that Han Yi is a poet admired by Tang Dezong Shili, and the other is that Han Yi himself is a good drinker. Many of his poems are related to wine.
