Have you ever tried playing string games?
Most people think it's just about twisting loops of string into patterns.
This is indeed the most common way to play, where two people take turns twisting the loops on each other's hands to form increasingly complex designs, until someone can no longer manipulate the loops and the match is decided.
But what if you increase the difficulty of string games?
Transform narrow loops into exceedingly long ones.
Even the patterns created are pulled tight and turned into dense fabrics…
"This is the method for learning weaving."
When the old eunuch suggested learning string games, this is what he told Du Chengfeng.
"If you want to learn how to weave, you naturally have to understand the thread first… String games are the easiest way. The more you play, the more you'll understand how the threads intertwine with each other."
