During ancient times, children didn't have smart phone, iPad or computer to enjoy themselves.
Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood. Let's take a look.
Playing diabolo (空竹；空中陀螺)
Diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and is hollow (空的) in the center. Playing diabolo is a very interesting folk game, especially popular in North China.
Flying kites
Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite, which each has its own features.
Hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease (戏弄) him or, more commonly, others hide and one child must try to find them.
Watching shadow plays
The closest thing to watching a film during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. The artists control puppets (木偶) behind the screen and tell stories to music.
Once upon a time, there lived a teacher in a small town. Once he told four of his students to go to a small farm to see apple trees in different seasons. After they came back, they described their feelings to the teacher. The first student said that there were no leaves on the trees. It made him very disappointed. The second student said his eyes were full of light green. It made him feel hopeful. The third one disagreed. He said the sweet smell of the beautiful flowers spread everywhere. The last one said he only saw a lot of apples on the trees. The teacher smiled and told his students that none of them were wrong. He continued, "The trees are not the same in different seasons. You can't judge (判) a tree by only one season. Don't let the regret of one season destroy the beauty of the rest."
