#共赏月🌙
#吃月饼🥮

明月几时有？把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。我欲乘风归去，唯恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒。起舞弄清影，何似在人间

“博状元饼”俗称“博饼”，以掷骰子方式进行，属于民间盛行的“博戏”；有些地方则称为“夺状元饼”或“抢状元”，是盛行于闽南地区特有之民俗文化活动。相传是出生金门洪门港（后丰港）的郑成功营中大将洪旭，在郑成功领军进攻金陵时，为稳定留守 厦门的官兵军心，并抚慰思乡情绪，发明博状元饼游戏，让官兵在中秋节玩上一把，而在厦门、泉州、金门等地流传，成为一种中秋佳节应景的民俗娱乐活动。
金门战地政务时期严禁赌博，以致“博饼”习俗一度绝迹，近年来为弘扬传统民俗技艺，并发展地区观光文化，重现欢度中秋庆团圆的民俗节庆，遂再兴“中秋博状元”之民间习俗。博饼活动在金门流传已超过300年，更曾于2012年入选“台湾观光年历”，为台湾政府大力推广之文化活动，每年吸引不少观光客前来参与和观赏。

Bobing (Mooncake Dice Game, a game in which six dice are thrown into a bowl and the different combinations of numbers result in different scores and prizes) is a unique festive activity in Kinmen & Xiamen during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It has been kept as a Mid-Autumn tradition by the locals for hundreds of years, forming part of the city's particular mooncake culture.

Bobing is a highly enjoyable game as people roll dices for good luck. The locals believe that someone who rolls a Zhuàngyuán (literally meaning the title conferred on the top-ranking candidate in the highest imperial examination, which here means the top prize) will enjoy a year of good fortune. That is of course because people put so much feeling into the game. It explains why the Kinmenese place so much importance on the Mid-Autumn Festival, some even regarding it as more important than Spring Festival.
