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. In order to listen to the jokes told by Grandmother Jia and Xifeng, people deliberately told female drummers (blind female artists) to stop drumming.
