Contents

The show has some different features from the original version and the American version Who's Still Standing .

Format (Season 1 Episodes 1 to 11)

There are three rounds in the show. [1]

Round One

100 contestants play in the hot-seat round. The first one to get the right to answer the question asked by the Host is in the game. If a correct answer is given, he or she will go on the stage.

Round Two

The contestant selected from the crowd plays head-to-head against each of the 6 celebrity contestants. The game is similar to the original version, but the clock is removed. They are asked questions in turns, and the questions are as follows:

Example: When the host says "本是同根生"(This is the same root, originally by Cao Zhi's "七步诗", A Poem in Seven Steps), the contestant must recite "相煎何太急"(Why do you want to kill me?) for the next missing line.

The head-to-head contest ends when a person fails to answer a question correctly or to run out of time. The loser will be dropped under the stage. Usually the host says "后会有期" (farewell), and the eliminated contestant's trapdoor immediately opens and he or she is dropped through the floor.

Each elimination of the celebrity contestants is worth ¥2,000 (~$300).

After 2 celebrity contestants have been eliminated, the contestant has an opportunity to walk away from the game. If the contestant fails to win the next round, half of the prize money is lost. If he or she is eliminated in the first two rounds, there is no prize for the contestant.

Round Three

After eliminating 6 celebrities, the contestant is given a chance to walk away or advance to the third round. In the third round, the contestant is tested by the so called Grand Secretaries (c: 大学士), who are guest experts in literature or language. The guests asks the contestant 5 questions about Chinese poetry where the contestant must answer the missing two lines or the missing sentence for each poem.

If the contestant answers correctly, ¥30,000(~$4,700) is awarded. All the contestants who makes it to the third round proceeds to the finale.
