As for the reason why no one has uncovered it, I can only use a game as a metaphor, which is drumming and passing flowers.The so-called passing flowers by beating drums is also called passing colored balls.Folk games are popular everywhere.A few, a dozen or dozens of people sit in a circle on the ground, and the other person with his back to the circle beats the drum with a mallet.When the drum rang, the flowers began to be passed, and the flowers were passed by a person's hand.According to literature, beating drums to spread flowers is a fun game played at traditional folk banquets in ancient China. It is a type of drinking ceremony. It is also called "beating drums to spread flowers" and it has appeared in the Tang Dynasty.The book "Jiegulu" in the Tang Dynasty mentioned that Li Longji was good at drumming. Once he played a drum, the willow branches that had not sprouted at first spit out green.This allusion was originally "beating drums to urge flowers", and later used as a wine order, it was changed to "beating drums to pass flowers".Du Mu's poem "A Night Banquet at Yanglanpu" contains "The balls are fragrant and the sleeves are warm, and the wine is shining brightly". We can know the scene of beating drums and passing flowers to add to the fun at banquets in the Tang Dynasty.Fan Chengda of the Song Dynasty wrote a poem in his "Shangyuan Ji Wuzhong Festival of Things": "The wine racks are stacked with drums first, and the lantern market is sold early." Chapter 54 of "Dream of Red Mansions" also has a description of beating drums to spread flowers.In order to listen to the jokes of Jia Mu and Sister Feng, the crowd deliberately asked the drumming female Xianer (blind female artist) to stop the drum.There is also a fun game similar to beating drums and passing flowers, called Liushang.People sit on the ground one by one on the shore, place a wine glass on the upper reaches of the water, and let it drift up and down. Whoever the wine glass stops in front of will drink and compose poetry.

However, in the era when blogs were popular, there was also a method of passing flowers by drumming: the person named had to answer a few questions in the blog, and then continued to click on other people to pass the questions on.Whoever is called must answer the question, otherwise he will be punished.The so-called blog drumming and passing flowers game is also jokingly called blog MLM. The general model is as follows:
[-]. A sponsor comes up with a number of questions for the blog questionnaire. The content of the questions is not limited, and most of them are about the value of life. Different people will have different answers, and the same person will have different answers at different times.

5. People who receive the questionnaire are generally asked to answer who named the questionnaire. Then after answering the question, they add another question and continue to pass the questionnaire to another 10 or [-] people. Then the person who received the questionnaire answers the questionnaire and adds Question, pass it on.

Why is drumming and spreading flowers popular in the blogging world?Taking a questionnaire actually reflects a kind of personal understanding of oneself, because the answers to the questions, whether you are serious or silly, actually reflect your attitude towards the world.Generally speaking, its functions are as follows: first, it is to record one's own way of thinking about values ​​and judgment standards, so as to understand oneself and let others know oneself; second, it can learn more about friends through questionnaires; third, it is indeed a very interesting thing ah.

Pay attention to the ice bucket challenge of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (ALS Ice Bucket Challenge), which is also a drumming mode.Starting with one person, the named person must choose to pour a bucket of ice water or donate $24 within 100 hours.

As we all know, "drumming and passing flowers" is about a game rule. People pass flowers while drumming. When the drumming stops, whoever the flower passes to will be "punished."Its original intention is to describe the joy of people conveying flowers. The denser the drum sound, the stronger the sense of joy conveyed, and the more charming the final "punishment" is.In reality, "beating drums to spread flowers" has been endowed with many benevolent connotations. It is said that if the drum is not beaten, it will not sound, and the flowers will not be fragrant if it is not spread. Many things are promoted and promoted by "beating drums to spread flowers".In fact, "beating drums and passing flowers" conveys a kind of spirit, a spirit of unity and encouragement, a spirit of mutual encouragement and competition, a will to be the first and be proud of defeat, and an open mind. The qualities of magnanimity and gentlemanly magnanimity.Whoever the flowers fall in will have the most touching smile, not whose house the flowers will fall in, and whose heart will be filled with tears and timidity.

From the rules of the game, no one wants to violate the rules and compete for the "next house", otherwise the meaning of the game of "beating the drum and passing the flower" will be lost. There is a phenomenon that is to compete for the next house and then throw the "flower" out, and "beating the drum and passing the flower" becomes "Drumming to snatch flowers" and "Drumming tossing flowers", those who fall flowers are no longer bright and generous, but feel colic and weep.This phenomenon is manifested vividly in the property market and capital market.There is a secretly popular "beating the drum" game in the capital market - a listed company is repeatedly reorganized in the hands of many people, and each reorganizing party has a very clear intention of entering the listed company, which is to seek high profits.The property market bubble vividly demonstrates the game of "beating the drum and passing the flower": in the face of high housing prices, everyone is rushing to buy properties, and then rushing to sell them, for fear of not being able to buy or sell them, and no one wants to own their home now.And whoever gets the money, whoever fails to speculate, fails to make huge profits, and suffers heavy losses, is naturally desperate and sad.Here, "drumming and passing flowers" has completely changed the rules of the game. "Flowers" are not a symbol of excitement and competition, but a bargaining chip for gambling and a drive for material desires.

Once things go bad, they lose their reason for survival, and "beating drums and spreading flowers" is no exception.A game that is originally just, simple and inspiring, once the rules are derailed or even put the cart before the horse, flowers are not flowers, drums are not drums, the final result can only be that magic turns into decay, harmony turns into chaos, sincerity turns into hypocrisy, and "beating the drum to spread the flowers" is natural. Lost the foundation of existence and was abandoned by people.Rules are not based on people's will. People who do not act according to the rules and do not follow principles can only shoot themselves in the foot, and those who instigate subverting the rules will be condemned by the public. The times are changing. abandon.But now, in Mr. Lu's eyes, the game is just to spread the word. Whether it is a franchise or a technology transfer, it will continue to be passed down. As long as he is not the last one, it will be profitable.After learning all this, Zhao Cui said to Ma Xiaoliang: "So, everyone will be silent and make a fortune in silence, right?" Ma Xiaoliang nodded, and Zhao Cui then asked Ma Xiaoliang: "Will you do it? You are not afraid. Being sued?" Ma Xiaoliang was a little hesitant. After all, this was a new thing, but he still said to Zhao Cui: "Why don't you give it a try? Anyway, tell the truth, I believe everyone in the circle will understand!" Zhao Cui snorted coldly: " What if I meet someone who is not from the circle?" Ma Xiaoliang burst into laughter and had no choice but to say to Zhao Cui, "I can't bear to part with you!"
