In the paintings of the ancients, the rattles appeared. Now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, there are five boys in the picture, or wearing masks, or smearing faces, and dancing big dances. Among them, Raytheon has two sets of rattles. Both drums are double-layered. drum. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Wei's "The Vendor's Figure" also appeared in the "four-layer rattle", which consisted of four drumsticks that grew up together.

The origin of the jigsaw puzzle can be traced back to the "regulations" and "moments" more than 4,000 years ago. A jigsaw puzzle can produce thousands of drawings. This famous game began to spread abroad in the 19th century. It is called "Tangtu" and "the mystery of China's mystery." Dr. Joseph Needham, a member of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom, called it "the oldest in the East" in "The History of Chinese Science and Technology". One of the pastimes."
According to research, the tangram is evolved from a kind of furniture "Yanji" in the court of our country. "Several" is a short-legged table, "Yan" and "banquet" pass, and "Yanji" is a banquet table. In the Song Dynasty, Huang Changrui published a book, "Yan Shuo Map Preface". The book designed a set of "Yanji", which can be used to spell out tables of various shapes by using seven tables. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a person called Yanji. According to the shape of "Pythagorean", the "Yanji" was modified to design a "butterfly couple", which was interlaced with triangles and spelled out a figure like a butterfly wing. There are hundreds of patterns, and the tangram is likely to evolve from the "Butterfly". The stereotype of the jigsaw puzzle was about the beginning of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, the jigsaw puzzle text game was used in the Qing Palace. Liu Wei commented in the "Critical Officials' Selection" that Xiaoquan Queen had played a kind of "smart board" in Suzhou when he was young. This kind of board is a jigsaw puzzle. The reason why it is called "seven puzzles" is to take the meaning of "the Qixi coincidence."

In the ancient times, the nine-ring workmanship was exquisite. From the ring, the frame handle, to the overall shape, there were all kinds of strange shapes and unique ingenuity. They were not only toys in the hands of children, but also the boudoirs of young women.
The early appearance of the Jiuhuan was in the "Warring States Policy" and other literatures. It was often seen in the poetry of the poetry. It represented the chaos of the chaos. The Northern Song poet Zhou Bangyan sighed in "Untie the Ring": Long-handed, can solve the chain, and become a thousand years of sigh.

When children play, they don't need props and other props. Just playing the shadows can make the characters play "family." Many of the early animated films in China, such as "Pig Bajie Eat Watermelon", "Ginseng Doll", "Golden Conch", all inspired by the shadow play.

In the late Tang Dynasty, some people added strings to kites. When they were blown by the wind, they would sound the sound of guzheng. So they were called "kites". In the Song Dynasty, they gradually became a kind of toy. "The grass grows and flies in February, and the embankment Yangliu drunk the spring smoke. The children return to school early, busy with the Dongfeng paper." Flying in ancient times is the yearning for human beings, and also the dream of all childhood.

In the "Spring Festival" of the poet Luo Lanlan of the Qing Dynasty, "When the spring is cold and the weather is clear, the screens of the sleeping screens are moved. Where is the kite blowing off the line? It blows down on the apricot branch." Wake up in the spring dream, the kite has been broken. The line, only the empty space is cold and cold.
In the Dream of Red Mansions, the kite represents a golden dragon - explore spring. The pictures in the twelfth album and the riddles in the riddles show the fate of the spring as a kite.

There are many kites here, including big butterflies, beautiful people, soft-winged big phoenix, big fish, big crab, red bat, seven geese and so on. In the spring, a phoenix kite was put in, and I was about to cut my own phoenix. There was also a phoenix in the sky. I was close to the phoenix. I couldn’t open it, and I saw a big fan with a big door and a whip. For a long time, like a bell, it is also approaching. As a result, the fate of Tan Chun was once again thrilledly rehearsed. "That kind of hi-character is really twisted with the two phoenixes in one place, and the three sings are in a mess. Who knows that the line is broken, and the three kites are swaying and swaying.
