What a great event at this year's Mooncake Gambling! This event is a great way to bring Yujin's wiper blade team together. We all had a fun and enjoyable experience with a relaxed atmosphere.
During the Mid-Autumn festival, what are the unique traditional events in Xiamen that are different from other places?
This Moon-cake also named "Zhuang-yuan Cake" gambling custom has been a part of Xiamen culture for at least 300 years now.
The gambling game has six ranks of awards, which are named as the winners in ancient imperial examinations, and has 63 different-sized mooncakes as prizes. Game players throw the dice by turns. Different pips count to win the player a relevant "title" and the corresponding type of mooncakes. The lucky player who gets the pips to make it the title of "Zhuangyuan," will be the biggest winner in the game, and gain the largest mooncake.
Nowadays, the mooncakes are not the only kind of award. With the upgrade of people's living standards, daily necessities, household appliances, and even money can also be won. Xiamen people believe that the person who wins "Zhuangyuan" in the game, will have good luck that year. The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second important holiday in Xiamen besides Spring Festival.
