Juryeonggu A replica of the artifact Korean name Hangul 주령구 Hanja 酒令具 RR juryeonggu MR churyŏnggu Juryeonggu (Korean: 주령구; Hanja: 酒令具) was a 14-sided die from the Unified Silla period, which was excavated from Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond.[1] It was made of oak and had 6 square faces and 8 hexagonal faces. (Note that the hexagonal faces are not regular hexagons.) The inscriptions on each face are thought to be penalties in a drinking game involving the die.[2] The original was destroyed when trying to remove its moisture in a microwave oven.[2] Penalties (listed on the faces) [edit] The six square faces [edit] Laughing loudly after finishing a glass of alcohol (飮盡大笑) Drinking three cups of alcohol at once, or drinking three cups and taking one step (三盞一去) Singing and drinking alone (自唱自飲) Dancing without making a sound after drinking alcohol (禁聲作舞) Multiple people hitting each other's noses (衆人打鼻) Remaining still even when many people gang up on you and play tricks (有犯空過) The eight hexagonal faces [edit] Do not throw away even if they are dirty (醜物莫放) Pouring out two cups of wine (兩盞則放) Drinking all the alcohol with the arms bent (曲臂則盡) Asking someone to sing at will (任意請歌) Staying still even when your face is tickled (弄面孔過) Singing the song 'Wolgyeong' (月鏡一曲) Reciting a Poem (空詠詩過) Jachang Gwaeraeman (自唱怪來晩) - Singing the song 'Gwaeraeman' Llikelihood of falling on any face [edit] The ratio of the area of the square faces to the area of the hexagonal faces is 6.25 to 6.265, making it almost equally likely to fall on any face. (The probability of falling on any face is roughly equal to 1/14). This almost equal likelihood makes it suitable as a die.
