The phrase “toubo (投博)” in “toubozhiming (投博至明)” was the abbreviation of “touhu 投壶” and “boxi 博戏” in the bronze mirror inscriptions. In the Han Dynasty, “touhu (投壶)” and “boxi (博戏),” as two kinds of entertainment activities, usually appeared in the banquet scene simultaneously. As two dynamic and static activities, they were both physical and intellectual competitions, which were able to satisfy people's spiritual and cultural requirements. “Toubo (投博)” was understood as the abbreviation of “touhu (投壶)” and “boxi (博戏)”; it not only showed the rich variety of entertainment activities in the Han Dynasty, but also truly restored the scene of “toubozhiming (投博至明)” in the bronze mirror inscriptions.
