Traditional game of rope skipping

In ancient times, it was called "Jiaobaisuo".

It was popular as early as the Ming Dynasty.

According to Shen Bang's Miscellaneous Notes of Wanshu: "A long rope, about ten feet long, is held by two children facing each other, flying and swinging erratically, making it difficult to look at it. It seems that a hundred things are indifferent, but it is actually just one rope. A group of children take advantage of its moving wheel and jump on it,

The one who can pass is the winner, otherwise he will be tripped by the rope, and the person holding the rope will be punished. It is called "hundred rope jump". It was still popular in the Qing Dynasty, and its jumping method has been passed down to this day.

There are also two people throwing the rope and one person jumping, or two people jumping with two feet, and one person jumping with both feet in the middle.
