The word "shoot" in the sentence "shooter wins" in Zuiwengting Ji, and the annotation in the book is "This refers to a game of throwing pots and feasting. Throw an arrow into the pot, the winner wins, and the loser drinks according to the prescribed number of cups. "
"Shooting" is an ancient pot-throwing game. Wang Shuizhao's "Notes on Selected Works of Song Dynasty" says: "Shooting, an ancient pot-throwing game, used an arrow-shaped pole to throw a long-necked pot to score the winner." So the shooter here refers to the person who throws the pot.

The creative background of Zuiwengting;
Zuiweng Pavilion was written in five years (1045), and Ouyang Xiu was the prefect of Chuzhou. Ouyang Xiu came to Chuzhou after Li Qing was demoted in five years.
Ouyang Xiu practiced lenient policies and developed production in Chuzhou, which enabled the local people to live a peaceful and stable life, with rich wealth and intoxicating landscapes, which made Ouyang Xiu feel extremely happy.
But at that time, throughout the Northern Song Dynasty, although the politics was enlightened and the weather was favorable, he did not make progress and indulged in the status quo. Some people who were interested in reform and had strength were hit one after another, and he felt heavy anxiety and pain when he saw that the country's long-standing disadvantages could not be eliminated.
This is his mood when he wrote "Drunk Pavilion", with sadness and joy. These two aspects are mixed together and expressed in his works.
