The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar.For people in Xiamen, "mooncake gambling" is what they looking forward to the most. Six dice in a porcelain bowl.
First, a player, usually the most elderly or respected at the table, is elected to throw the first two dice. The total number on the dice, such as eight, indicates that the eighth person to his right will start the game.
Once this player has thrown his six dice, the game continues counterclockwise until everyone has had a turn. Then the points are tabulated to decide who wins this round, and the prize he gets.
There may be different ways to celebrate the holidays, but the joy and pride in our heart are the same.
May our motherland become better and better.
