'National games and customs: Suyіnshі'
Suyіnshі is a custom according to which a traveller or any other person who brought home some good news receives a valuable gift from the owners in gratitude. Sometimes before telling good news a person says 'Suyunshi' or 'What would you give me for a Suyinshi?', thus implying that he or she has something great to tell.
