Children’s Games in Ancient China

During ancient times, children didn’t have much to enjoy themselves. However, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood.

Kicking stone balls

During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular game in the northern part of China, and it was often played in winter to keep warm.

Playing hid-and-seek

Hid-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run to tease(戏弄) him or, more normally, others hide and one child must try to find them.

Flying kites

Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. The three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. Each has its own feature. For example, the bird-shaped kite with long wings of the Beijing kite.

Watching shadow plays(皮影戏)

The closest thing to watching a film during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. The artists control puppets(木偶) behind the screen and tell stories to music.

The Building That Moves

Everyone knows that buildings don’t move. They can’t change the way they look. However, architect(建筑师) David Fisher wants to change that.

Fisher has an amazing idea. He wants to make __-story buildings that change shape. Each floor will move around slowly. The floors will move at different speeds. Because of this, the shape of the building is always changing. “These buildings will never look the same,” says Fisher.

His idea is an interesting one. However, Fisher doesn’t stop there. He also wants the building to be “green”. The building will make its own energy. In most buildings, only the top floor has a roof(屋顶). In Fisher’s building, each floor will have its own roof. Each roof has solar panels(太阳能板). This means a lot more solar energy. Also, machines between each floor of the building will catch the wind. They will turn the wind into energy.

Fisher’s ideas sound impossible. However, that’s what people also said before humans traveled into space!
