The meaning of delivering a package.

Delivering a package means that one person beats the drum and many people deliver flowers in turn. When the drum stops, the winner of the flowers will be punished or rewarded.

Passing packages, also known as passing colored balls. China folk games are very popular in China. Several people, a dozen people or dozens of people sit on the ground in a circle, and the other person beats the drum with his back to the circle. As soon as the drum rang, the flowers began to spread, and one person passed the flowers in one hand. Now there is a game of "passing parcels" on the Internet, which bloggers like very much. The person named should answer some questions in the blog, and then continue to click on others to pass the questions. Whoever you point to must answer this question, or you will be punished.

There is also an entertainment game similar to parcel delivery, called "Six Laughs". People sit on the ground in turn on the shore, put a glass on the upstream of the water and let it drift down. Whoever stops in front of the glass will drink and write poems. There is a similar game abroad called parcel delivery, but the purpose of the game is different. This is a small game to get gifts.

The history of delivering packages

According to the literature, passing Bao is an entertainment game at the traditional folk banquet in ancient China, which belongs to the Liquor Order, also known as "beating drums to urge flowers", and appeared in the Tang Dynasty. It is mentioned in Jiegu Lu of Tang Dynasty that Li Longji is good at playing drums. Once he hits a song, the willow branches that didn't germinate at first turn green. This allusion was originally "pass the parcel", but later it was changed to "delivering packages" as a drinker's wager game.

In Du Mu's poem "The Night Banquet in Yanglanpu", "The ball-scented sleeves are vaguely warm, and the wine is protruding and the heart is bright", which shows the scene of uploading bags for entertainment at the banquet in Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Fan Chengda's poem "Sacrifice to the Fifth Middle School in the Last Yuan Dynasty" said: "The wine is stacked first, and the lamp market is as early as Joan." The fifty-fourth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions also describes the delivery of parcels. Everyone deliberately told the drummer to stop in order to listen to the jokes told by Grandmother Jia and Xifeng.
