Throwing Embroidered Ball
Embroidered silk balls (Xiuqiu in Chinese) are a symbol of the Zhuang ethnic minority of Guangxi province in China. Made with colorful cloth or silk, the balls are about as big as a fist and are embroidered with patterns of flowers and birds. The twelve petals on the balls represent the twelve months of the year and symbolize happiness and completeness all year round. They were developed originally for throwing in some entertainment or sports activities but later became a token of love. So you can call it a love ball.
In the past, girls throw the love ball to choose a husband. Today, we change marriage to dinner, and it’s the time for boys to throw the ball. Guys from Omeida Chinese Academy are going to throw the love ball and the lucky girl who catches it will win a free dinner. It sounds interesting and it was really a great fun.
READY?
GO!!!
And here are the dinner partners.
