Rock, paper, scissors game


Guest Gregory

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone heard of a game, which I believe originated in China, called "Rock, paper, scissors" ?? Basically two people make a fist, count 1,2,3 and either hold out a closed fist ("rock"), a flat hand ("paper") or the 2nd and 3rd fingers extended like a pair of scissors. The idea is that paper covers rock, rock makes scissors blunt, and scissors cuts paper, or something like that. I'm trying to find out the name of this game in Chinese. Can anyone write the characters for me please?

Many thanks.

Gregory

Art Garfunkel has a love song (among many of his) called Scissors Cut -

"If they ever drop the bomb," you said,

"I'll find you in the flames."

But now we act like people

Who don't know each other's names.

Well, sometimes it makes me sad, you know.

Sometimes it makes me smile.

'Cause you know how the game goes, honey.

We all eat it once in awhile.

Scissors cut, paper covers rock

Breaks the shining scissor

You hurt me

I hurt her and she goes and we will miss her

Now, I look around at people

Playing children's games.

And I wonder if you're still thinking

You might find me somewhere in the flames.

Scissors cut, paper covers rock

Breaks the shining scissor

You hurt me

I hurt her and she goes and we will miss her
