Children's Games in Ancient China

Unlike the children nowadays, the children during ancient times didn't have smart phone, iPad or computer to entertain(娱乐) themselves. 1. Let's take a look.

Flying kites

Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. 2. For example, the swallow-shaped kite is a well-known Beijing style.

Playing hide-and-seek

Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. Even nowadays, many children like playing it. There are two ways to play. One way is covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him. 3.

4.

The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. Folk artists manipulate puppets behind the screen, narrating stories and accompanied by music.

Setting off firecrackers(鞭炮)

Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years. It is said that there was a beast (野兽)named Nian in ancient China. 5. After gunpowder was invented, it gradually replaced the bamboo joint cracker. Crackers are still set off during Spring Festival to symbolize auspiciousness(吉利).

A. Watching shadow plays

B. Each of them has special features.

C. Different materials are used to make the kite.

D. Shadow plays were the popular entertaining form in ancient times.

E. And to scare off the beast, people burnt bamboo joints to make it blast.

F. More commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.

G. Instead, they came up with(想出) interesting games to play in their childhood.

    Next week California will try to take cell phones from the hands of drivers， telling everyone from millionaires to workers that conversations behind the wheel must be on an earphone．

Californians interviewed by Reuters mostly supported the law requiring hands﹣free phones in cars and banning cell phones entirely for drivers under 18， which will take effect on Tuesday， though they were puzzled by a loophole（漏洞） that allows seemingly more dangerous text messaging． Some were doubtful about lawmakers， who they blamed for failing to build more freeways or public transportation in the face of increasingly crowded roads in the nation's most populous state and said hands﹣free conversations were not safer．

KFI﹣AM radio talk﹣show host John Kobylt told Reuters． "It's stupid because we've one over about seven different studies and each one of them says it's the conversation that distracts you， not holding the phone．"

State Senator Joe Simitian， who introduced the bill， said keeping both hands on the wheel was always safer． He expected his law to save hundreds of lives． The Democratic lawmaker was considering introducing a new law to ban text messaging in the car， which he said wasn't an issue when he began working on the first one in 2001．

Connecticut， New Jersey and New York have already banned drivers from talking on hand﹣held cell phones． In New Jersey， police have issued 35，000 tickets for using a hand﹣held phone or texting while driving since the law went into effect on March 1．

But Californians interviewed by Reuters expressed ambivalence．"On the one hand I don't want to see people crash into each other， but I'm not going to get an ear thing．" 38﹣year﹣old bank employee Jason Fischer said in Los Angeles．
