Yaoshan gyro section of gyro section

The most favorite and lively entertainment activity of Yao people with white pants in Yaoshan during the New Year is the gyro race. Therefore, Yaoshan people also call the Spring Festival Gyro Festival.

Everyone in Yao nationality has a gyro, which is roughly the same as that in Han nationality. The difference is that the gyro of Bai Yao nationality is almost twice as big as that of Han nationality, weighing two or three kilograms! A groove is also cut out along the periphery of the big head to wind the "starting rope", and the boys also paint their favorite colors on the top.

The competition was judged by the respected elders of Yao nationality. When the gyro hand hears the command of "fixing the root", he will touch his toes on the ground and press them with his hands. When they hear the "start" command, they will pull the rope in their hands like starting a diesel engine and throw the gyro out conveniently. Whoever turns the top last will be the winner. Or hit it with a gyro tile. Whoever lands first will be the loser. The crowd of onlookers surrounded the playing field three floors away. People kept clapping and cheering to cheer for the gyro players. The young people who won the prize are very popular with the girls.
