This word is not pronounced "sh m 4 i zi" but "tóu zi". Dice is commonly known as dice, but the commonly known pinyin is not the same as the pinyin of the word itself. If you get mixed up, you may really make a joke.

As for whether the standard pronunciation of the word "dice" will be adjusted by the relevant departments to pinyin which is particularly easy to mispronounce because too many people pronounce it as "sh m 4 i zi", it is unknown and needs time to verify.

The invention history of dice

It is said that dice were first invented by Cao Zhi during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, it was used as a divination tool to predict the future of some things by the number of dice.

It was not until later that dice became a game played by concubines in the palace. When they are free, they will play dice together and bet who will drink tea or some gadgets by counting points. According to records, the holes of dice that people played at that time were all painted black, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that they were painted red.

Later, the black veil became a tool for people to play in their leisure time at that time, and it was also an indispensable tool in some entertainment projects, such as mahjong and Pai Jiu, which decided who was the dealer by the points of the black veil.
