For example, the game of throwing pots during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the "improvised singing" between Qin and Han Dynasties are all a kind of drinking order. However, after the game developed into a game with mandatory and ending characteristics, it became a cultural phenomenon that is both relaxed and serious. During the Western Han Dynasty, Empress Lu held a banquet for the ministers and ordered Liu Zhang to serve as the wine supervisor. Liu Zhang asked for military orders to serve as wine drinkers. During the banquet, some members of the Lu clan deserted the banquet and were beheaded by Liu Zhang with a sword. His head was played off in the drinking game. Maybe it's a play within a play. This is the origin of "drinking orders are like military orders". The Tang and Song dynasties were the most playful dynasties in ancient China, and the drinking rituals were certainly rich and colorful. Bai Juyi once wrote a poem about "putting a bowl of red snails in the bowl and drinking white jade rice". In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the wine order took a step further and developed into a variety of styles. Yu Dunpei in the Qing Dynasty divided the drinking orders into four categories: Zhanling and Yaling. Tongling, Caoling and Caoling were the highlights of the drinking orders. As the name suggests, chips must be used when making wine orders. Chips are the distinctive feature of this type of wine order. Speaking of raising money, we must first understand what raising money is. The counter is an ancient calculation tool. There were no calculators in ancient times, and chips made from bamboo wood were generally used for calculations. Those who were good at planning could obtain results without relying on calculation tools, so chips were extended to planning and planning. "Hanshu. Gao Di Si" records Liu Bang's evaluation of Zhang Liang and said, "My husband is strategizing, and the victory is thousands of miles away. I am not as good as Zifang." Nowadays, when military commanders formulate combat plans indoors, it is called strategizing. Among them, "Chou" means planning, strategizing and strategizing. Since the Tang Dynasty, drinking chips have been used in two different ways: one is still used for counting, such as the "wine chips" in Bai Juyi's poem "Drunken Flower Branches to Make Drinking Chips". This meaning of chips can still be seen in later generations of drinking games. Its function is to count chips, and then drink according to the number of chips obtained. The other kind is more complicated. People are not satisfied with the original use of chips, but transform them into a tool for command. The method of making chips is also complicated. Various orders and drinking covenants are engraved on chips made of silver, ivory, animal bones, bamboo, wood and other materials. When ordering, everyone at the table shakes the cup in order, and then drinks according to the order and drinking appointments specified in the chip. According to research, the "Analects of Confucius" of the Tang Dynasty is the earliest known type of wine order. The package of the order is very large and can be of any length. Large-scale orders often amount to eighty orders, and orders contain orders and orders execute orders. Because of this characteristic, Chiu Ling is able to draw materials from novels such as the long-running drama "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "Water Margin", "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", and "A Dream of Red Mansions", and is also able to tolerate works such as "The Book of Changes" Sixty-four hexagrams and other cultural phenomena with rich connotations. Jiuchi culture is part of traditional Chinese culture, but it is also a special cultural phenomenon. It is unimaginable that in today's fast-paced modern life, there are still a few young people sitting leisurely in McDonald's and playing "Dream of Red Mansions" drinking chips. However, as a traditional culture, Jiuchi is still a valuable asset left by our ancestors. In addition to having certain cultural research value, it will also have a certain civilizing effect on certain specific appropriate occasions. For example, no matter what, it is better than the "deep feelings, boring mouth" style of drinking, or the "good guys, wow, five leaders" style of drinking. Because "arty" is always more tasteful than "arty vulgar". And "arty" is not a derogatory term in the first place. The wine culture is a product of the Chinese food system, and its essence is agricultural culture. The wine ordering in banquets has a great cultural content. Participants must be familiar with ancient and modern classics, poems and songs, astronomy, geography, and folk slang in order to perform well on the spot without being fined with alcohol. People also exercised their quick thinking and competitive spirit during the banquet, which not only enlivened the dining atmosphere but also added aesthetic appeal.
