Wooden Shot is similar to modern bowling, which began to flourish in the Tang Dynasty. It is one of the rare games that combines ancient moral codes with a sporting activity that is worth learning. The rules are roughly like this: fifteen bamboo shoot-shaped pillars are placed in the distance, ten of which are red and five black. The red pillars are written with the words "benevolence, righteousness, justice, reason, wisdom, trust, warmth, goodness, respect, modesty and concession", while the black ones are written with the words "slowness, arrogance, sycophancy, covetousness, and abusive behavior".
