Yo-Yo Team

The Chinese yo-yo, also known as "pulling bell", is an old toy first documented in a Song dynasty book. Chinese yo-yo is a type of palace art, which uses two small handles one in each hand pulling the strings to roll around the axis of the yo-yo. When the yo-yo is rolling quickly you will be able to hear a buzzing sound, the faster you pull the louder the sound. After balancing the yo-yo on the string, you can do many tricks with your yo-yo.

扯鈴隊

中國扯鈴, 又名 空竹, 最早記載於宋朝文獻的一種宮廷童玩。 扯鈴時, 雙手各持扯棒一枝, 透過雙手的扯動來帶動扯鈴的中軸在扯棒間相連的绵繩或塑料繩滾動, 扯動時可以引發扯鈴聲響, 扯得越快, 聲音越響亮。熟悉扯鈴的基本動作後, 可以用扯鈴做出變化多端的表演。
