[Edit]Rowing culture

Why can rowing be considered a kind of wine culture? This lies in the rowing is not only a simple game of numbers, which contains a deep Chinese traditional culture: first of all, the rowing out of the numbers, can not be shouted as one, two shouted as two, but with a phrase to replace. Zero should be shouted as "treasure"; one should be shouted as "a heart to you", reflecting the respect for each other; two should be shouted as "brother and sister", indicating that the relationship with the other party's closeness; three general shouting "three stars high light"; four to shout "four red four happy" or "four happy to wealth", said the meaning of good luck; five to shout "five head "; six shouting "six six big luck"; seven shouting "coincident to seven", meaning that the cowherd and the weaving maiden in July 7 days with the river; eight shouting "eight immortals across the sea"; nine shouting Nine shouts "drink quickly", there are also simply shouted "fast". Ten is shouted as "full red" or "all to the (read liao sound)". Therefore, from the boxing people's language, you can also judge the person's cultural level and even character traits. Drinking in Xinjiang, rowing fist shouts "five five five five, six six six six six six six", people can not help but laugh. Self-made boxing language, in shouting to eight, not shouting the traditional "eight immortals across the sea", but shouting "bar bar pop", laughable.

Additionally, there is a lot more to it, somewhat similar to the rituals of the Japanese tea ceremony. For example, in the Jinan area, before the start of the rowing fist, the two should first stretch out their thumbs and shout at the same time, "brothers good," to show that with each other like brothers, if one of the Department of the elders, this sentence must be shouted into the "masters good". Then, the two sides also have to stretch out five fingers, and said "all good" to show respect to all the people present. Finally, but also to choose a person "palm fist", that is, the referee, because the rowing speed is very fast, dazzling, two people's judgment will be inconsistent, who will think they won, so it will be playing "wine lawsuit". At this point, the palm of the fist will make a judgment to determine who lost and who won.

[Edit paragraph]Taboos

There are many taboos that must be noted. First, in the hand shape taboo. When stretching out two fingers to indicate the number two, you can not use the thumb and forefinger to indicate, can only use the thumb and middle finger to indicate. This is because, with the thumb and forefinger similar to pointing a pistol at each other, belonging to the great disrespect. Secondly, regional taboos. Drinking in the Jinan area, boxing is forbidden to shout "five Kui Shou". According to the old people say, early liberation of a hooligan called "five Kui" was shot by the government, since then, all Jinan people drink boxing will no longer shout "five Kui head", is unwilling to open up for the meaning of a criminal full of evil. Drinking in Jinan, all the boxing people all abide by this taboo, without exception. But in this way, all Jinan people to the field of drinking and boxing to eat a little loss. Because Jinan people even out of the country is not willing to break the rules of their hometown, boxing is still not shouting "five Kui Shou".
