《礼记·投壶》
宾主施礼已毕，宾客从主人手里接过矢，主人从赞礼者手中接过矢，主人前进到两楹间，察看一下将要进行投壶的地方，然后退回昨阶上的原位，向宾客作揖，请他就座。
已拜，受矢，进即两楹间，退反位，揖宾就筵。
After the master and the guest finished the exchanging of courtesies, the guest accepted the arrow from the master, while the master accepted the arrow from the assistant. The master walked forward to the space between the two pillars, checked the place where he was going to throw the arrow, and then returned to his original position on the steps, bowed to the guest, and invited him to have a seat.
