Children's games in ancient China | |
Flying kites | Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood. Now in China, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite, each of which has its own characteristic (特征). |
Playing diabolo | Diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and is hollow (空心的) in the center. When juggled (抛接) on ropes, the high-speed rotating (旋转的) diabolo will make a sound. Playing diabolo is a very interesting game. |
Watching shadow plays | The closest thing to watch a film or television during ancient times was watching a shadow play. People control puppets (木偶) behind the screen while singing with music to tell a story. Shadow play was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2006. |
Setting off firecracker | Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years. It is said that people burnt bamboo joints (节) to make it blast (爆炸) to drive away the beast named Nian in ancient China. Firecrackers are still set off during Spring Festival to symbolize hope and luck. |
THIS IS HOW READING HAS CHANGED
CAVE（洞穴） PAINTINGS Cave paintings are the oldest pictures. Some of them，like the beautiful pictures in the caves in the north of Spain，are almost 30，we get an idea of how the people felt when drawing them. That's what the painters wanted to show others—hopes and fears. |
STONES AND PAPYRUS（纸莎草） Sometime between 4000 and 3000 BCE（公元前），people in Egypt developed the skill of writing. They put writing on stones first. But it was impossible to carry the stones from place to place. The invention of papyrus made it. It was easier to correct mistakes，too. |
PAPER AND PRINTING Paper was invented in China in 105 CE（公元年）. The world's oldest known printed book is from China，too. It was published around 700 hundred years later. In Europe，when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in Germany. Since that time，almost 140 million books have been published. |
OTHER WAYS OF READING Books will be around for many years，of course. But there are many new ways of reading books，such as e-books and apps on mobile phones. |
