What was the ancient Chinese game of throwing jian into a bamboo tube?

Throwing pots is a kind of throwing game made by the ancient scholars during banquets. It is also a kind of etiquette. It was more prevalent during the Warring States period and was carried forward, especially in the Tang Dynasty.

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, one of the etiquettes of the lords' banquets was to ask their guests to shoot arrows. At that time, it was regarded as a shame that adult men did not know how to shoot arrows, and the host invited the guests to shoot arrows, and the guests could not refuse. Later, some guests did not know how to shoot arrows, so they used arrows to throw wine pots instead. Over time, throwing pots instead of archery, become a game of feasting.
