N2 - This study is a comparative anthropological analysis of the specific features of traditional culture in China, Korea, and Japan, which were based on literary games and included ritual wine drinking. The games and rituals of the "wine order" existed for over 2000 years in East Asia as a form of entertainment for the elite. We describe some most ancient rituals of "wine orders" in traditional cultures of East Asia countries. The adaptation of Chinese games in Korea and Japan is shown by the example of the ritual called Feast by the Meandering Stream. The analysis of the national features of this ritual helps to clarify the process of intercultural interaction. Over many centuries, the moral potential of these actions has been determined by a number of their most significant social-cultural functions related to the ceremonial activity, religious magical practices, and mundane entertainments, which allows us to speak about the stability of these ethnic cultures against negative consequences of current globalization and westernization processes. The revival of the ancient ritual illustrates the consolidation of efforts of Asian societies directed on the strengthening of national intellectual values and the development of the positive image of a modern intellectual - "a man of culture" (Chinese: Wenren, Korean: Munin, Japanese: Bunjin).
