Bai Weiguo of China Academy of Social Sciences recently introduced several ancient children's games in his book Knowledge of Literature and History. Now I'll introduce one or two.

One is to rob the nest. Snatching a nest requires a fur ball, which is a ball wrapped in hair and leather. It can be kicked or played, which is very fun. A nest is a hole, a hole into which a hairball sticks. Whoever hits the hairball into the hole with the elbow stick the least times wins. This game is a by-product of playing polo, which was called "playing ball" or "bowing" in ancient times. It came from the Western Regions and prevailed in the Tang Dynasty. But playing polo requires a lot of space and well-trained horses, and the exercise is intense. It often happens that horses break down and people are injured, which is obviously not suitable for children's games. Instead of riding a horse, dig a hole in the ground as a goal, and two people can play with clubs, which is more suitable for women and children who are not good at riding. At that time, it was called "stepping on" or "beating in vain". In the Yuan Dynasty, the special book Marukong, which recorded playing marukong, recorded "those who stand, squat, walk and fly". Stand far, squat close, walk freely, and fly if there is resistance. " Stand and shout "Bang Bang", "Ten is full, eight is middle deputy, and then is small deputy". Squatting is called "park stick", "now it is also called knee reduction." Stick, beak, squat. "Well, hit with a stick. Flying and playing is called "park stick", which is also a one-handed spoon stick. Because there are more than ten kinds of bats, there are "sparring partners" (caddies) on the court to help. " The park bat is in the purse, and the cue and spoon are in the basket. Zhang Hao of Yuan Dynasty recorded the playing methods and rules in detail in Qu Xia. For example, the kick-off is based on "base" and "the vertical and horizontal feet are not full". If you put the ball on the foundation, it can't move any more. If it is blown by the wind, it is necessary to declare "the wind has fallen". If you don't declare "wind down" or move on your own, you think the ball has been hit. This is called "striking because of movement". After the bat is selected to the upper position, it is impossible to change the bat. Change it and you lose. This is called "it is not easy to fight for power." Others, such as hitting the ball into the nest with a stick, losing, and so on, have many strict rules.

The second is to learn to perform. In ancient times, there was a saying of "joining the army", which was the name of the characters in the drama of joining the army in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the drama was relatively simple, with only two roles: joining the army and stork. Joining the army is an official name similar to military staff. There is no fixed position, and it can be set at any time as needed. In times of frequent wars, such as the late Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, its position is very important, and it can even directly assist the king in drafting documents to direct operations. In times of relative peace, its status is not so important, such as Old Tang Book? In the official records, his rank is listed as "below the positive eight grades and above the positive eight grades", and he is an official with a very low rank. He also plays the role of a junior official in a military drama, so he is called joining the army. The stork played the role of a boy with horns tied to his head and wearing our clothes, and was admonished to join the army. However, according to the traditional habit of burlesque, the overbearing and arrogant character often shows flaws at the end and is ridiculed by the role he bullied, so the stork may be a witty character with a needle hidden in cotton. Maybe this character's hairstyle and clothes are similar to a kind of raptor called stork, so it's called stork. Because the stork played the role of a child, the children were happy to imitate him.
