"How to play dice?

Two people play:

Everyone has a sieve clock with five sieves in it. After shaking the sieve clock, both sides can turn on their sieve clock to see their own points. If it is a straight, such as 12345, 23456, the player who shakes it will open his sieve clock to the other side and start shaking again.

In this game, a person can represent one or any number of points in the sieve clock. If the five sieves shaken by your own sieve clock are not 1 1235, then you have two ones or three twos, three threes and three fives. But what you have to guess is the number of points between you and the other two sieve clocks. As long as the points and numbers you shout out are equal to or less than those provided by the other party, you win.

Historical source

dice

According to legend, the inventor of dice was Cao Zhi, a writer in the Three Kingdoms period. Originally used as a tool for divination, it later evolved into a game of concubines in the harem, betting on wine or silk sachets with dice points. At that time, the dots on the dice were all painted black, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that red strokes were added.

However, according to textual research, the dice unearthed from Qi Tomb in Qingzhou, Shandong Province were not invented by Cao Zhi. Dice, as one of the six major operas in China, is regarded as the ancestor of China's operas, and it was popular as early as the late Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
