What games did ancient children play?

In ancient times, children's toys were also very long and rich, such as windmills, kites, clay figurines and riding bamboo and horses. Although they don't have mobile phones, tablets and computers like children now, toys at that time were the most fun and entertaining things.

Speaking of which, riding a bamboo horse inadvertently reminds people, doesn't it? Riding to war? This one? Real-life fighting game? In ancient times, boys generally had two ambitions. The first is to study hard to gain fame, and then realize their political ideals. The other is to acquire a good skill and then become a soldier to defend the country and make contributions in the border areas. Riding a bamboo horse is the first step for them to realize their ideal. Usually riding a bamboo horse with a branch in his hand as his weapon, I dreamed that I was brave and good at fighting.

In fact, in ancient times, many people would choose to play with gyroscopes. Many people think that gyroscope is a modern product. In fact, gyroscopes came out as early as the Northern Song Dynasty and quickly spread all over the country. At that time, the material of the gyro was not fixed, and its shape was similar to that of the present, that is, the top was round and the bottom was pointed. Then, pulling the gyro with a rope would keep turning, and when playing the gyro, it would inadvertently compete, which was the greatest pleasure.

In addition to riding bamboo horses and gyroscopes, many people will also pinch clay figurines to play, and then compare the pinched works of art to see who has squeezed out a more vivid image, which is also a great pleasure. In fact, children in ancient times are not like children today. Many children in ancient times were influenced by their family background. Children from wealthy families are required to go to school in order to become famous in the future, while children from poor families are more likely to be employed by farm workers? Bound? There is little time to play. From a very young age, they had to go to the fields to do farm work. For them, reading is also a luxury.
