Those made of wool(羊毛) are called yanghao and those made of weasels'(黄鼠狼) tail hair are called langhao.
A story goes like this:Two famous skilled men Xi Chao and his son produced a kind of perfect ink stick. As a result, the Emperor Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty agreed to give them the family name "Li". In the Song Dynasty, its producing area was changed into Huizhou, and it was then called the Hui Ink Stick.

Basketball, running and swimming are popular events at the Olympics. But there are also some events that are not as popular. Some are even very strange. Let's see if you have any knowledge about the following events.
Tug-of-war This event started in 1900 and left the Olympics in 1920. The team wins if they pull the rope past a certain point first. Interestingly, more than one team from a country can enter in this event. This makes it possible for one country to win several medals. | |
Rope climbing It first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1896. The climber who spends the shortest time reaching the top is the winner. The rope used to be 15 meters long. Years later, it was shortened to 8 meters, for some reason. After 1932, there was no rope climbing at the Olympics. | |
Race walking In race walking, walkers have to win the race by walking. To make sure that they don't run, race walkers must have one foot on the ground at all times. Race walking has been an Olympic sport since 1904. Men enter 20-kilometer and 50-kilometer races; women only race 20 kilometers. |
