Scissors, stone cloth, also known as "guess Ding shell". It's a guessing game. It originated in China and then spread to Japan, North Korea and other places. With the continuous development of Asia Europe trade, it spread to Europe and gradually swept the world in modern times.
[origin and history]
According to the book "wuzazu" written by Xie Zhaozhe in the Ming Dynasty, the tradition of "stone, scissors and cloth" can be traced back to the gesture order of the Han Dynasty. Before the association with Asia, there was no record of "stone, scissors and cloth" in the West. In the late 19th century, Asian Writers thought it was a game. After gradual development, it has evolved into today's "stone, scissors, cloth" game. China and South Korea generally call it "stone, scissors and paper", while the Japanese call it "stone, scissors and paper". Britain, America and other countries call it "rock! Paper! Scissors!" Or "ro! Cham! Beau!".
Li Rihua of the Ming Dynasty wrote in his notes on the six studies of Zhai: "when drinking, you fight with your fingers bent and stretched. It is called Huoquan, also known as huozhitou." There are more records in the novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The 63rd chapter of a dream of Red Mansions says, "when we have three points of wine, we win by guessing our fists and singing a little song." "Outlaws of the marsh" wrote back to the 109th: "guess boxing, open your fingers, eat wine at a big bowl price." Zhao Yi, a man of the Qing Dynasty, said in a poem that "old boxing blows thumb array, riddles fight lot play".
[play method]
These three basic gestures (stone, scissors and cloth from left to right) can win one of the other two.
[rules]
The two players clenched their fists first, and then one or both of them read the password together. While finishing the last syllable, the two players showed the gesture they had in mind ("stone", "scissors" or "cloth")
[play without hands]
In the cold winter in northern China, even if you stretch out your hand outdoors for a short time, it may make people feel uncomfortable. However, this game can not be carried out smoothly when the player wears gloves, so the method of playing without hands came into being. Players jump three times in place with their feet together to achieve synchronization. When landing on the third jump, indicate the "weapon" used according to the position of both feet. Feet close together are stones, scissors in front of and behind, and cloth on the left and right.
