Gyroscope joint

In places where Zhuang people live in compact communities in Guangxi, a famous sports activity-Gyro Festival is held every year.

When you "hit", use two or three feet of hemp rope to wrap it around several times until you feel fit, then hold the end of the hemp rope with the ring finger and little finger of your right hand and spin it to the ground quickly, and the gyro will "whir". A good quality coat, coupled with clever rotation technology, will take seven or eight minutes to fall off. It is even more lively to top the competition, and the winner is honored as the "top king".

According to legend, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the peasants led the masses to rise up and win one after another, establishing "Nantian" and calling themselves "South King", conquering Nanning, breaking Qinzhou and beating Guangzhou. Later, the insurgents lost and retreated to Funing. In order to quell the peasant uprising and weaken the strength of the rebel army, the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty dismissed the Zhuang nationality to Guizhou and other places. Before leaving, people gathered to say goodbye reluctantly and urged the villagers to reunite again next year. Since then, every year in the third month of the lunar calendar, Zhuang people who have been living in other places will go home to reunite with their relatives and friends. With the passage of time, the "dragon section" festival was formed. The Dragon Boat Festival begins on March 25th of the lunar calendar and lasts for three days.
