Bai choi

[6][7] In Hội An, Quang Nam, Bai Choi singing classes have been opened for secondary school students.

[9][10] In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, many wild animals in the forest often came to destroy crops and disturb the lives of innocent people.

If he saw wild animals coming to destroy crops, he would beat drums and shout loudly to chase them away.

[citation needed] Over time, so that more people could know how to play this song and chant, the entertainment events were gradually upgraded to a card game festival.

[citation needed] The deck of cards for bài chòi is an improved Chinese money-suited deck, consisting of 33 cards, with names converted into simple names such as: nhứt nọc, nhì nghèo, ông ầm, thằng bí, lá liễu, etc.

To create more suspense and force players to speculate, the chanter shouts out a verse or a ca dao with the name of the card.
