Bobing is a traditional folk activity during the Mid-Autumn Festival in southern Fujian. It aims to get different grades of mooncakes by throwing dice to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and enhance the relationship between relatives and friends.
The origin of Bobing can be traced back to more than 300 years ago, which is related to the national hero Zheng Chenggong. At that time, Zheng Chenggong was stationed in Xiamen. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the soldiers would miss their relatives in their hometown. In order to relieve the homesickness of the soldiers, Zheng Chenggong's subordinate Hong Xu designed a cake game, which allows the soldiers to get mooncakes by throwing dice on the Mid-Autumn Festival night to comfort their homesickness. This kind of game gradually spread among the people and became an interesting folk activity.
Bobing is not only a game, but also a social activity. Relatives and friends sit together, throw dice, and feel the festive atmosphere in laughter. This kind of activity not only enhances the relationship between people, but also makes the Mid-Autumn Festival more lively and meaningful.
Over time, Bobing has not only been limited to southern Fujian, but has also spread to other parts of Fujian Province and Taiwan, becoming an important part of the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration in these regions.
