During the period of drinking,people often played a drinkers' wager game.
When playing the game,one person was in charge and the others obeyed him and would
be punished if they violated the rules.
It has been very popular since the Tang Dynasty.
The drinkers must first drink up their cups of
wine completely before they were qualified to play the game.
There are descriptions of this wager game in many
Chinese literary classics,such as A Dream of Red
Mansions(The Story of the Stone ) and Stories of the Ghosts.
The drinkers' wager game not only brought fun to
the drinkers at the banquet, but also promoted the popularization of Chinese
wine culture. Nowadays wine culture is still an important part of Chinese
people's daily life.
