Folk Composition: Kaifeng Gyro

In ordinary daily life, everyone has written a composition, and you must be familiar with all kinds of compositions. According to the different writing time, compositions can be divided into limited composition and non-limited composition. Then the question is coming, how to write an excellent composition? The following is a folk composition I compiled for you: Kaifeng gyro, for reference only, I hope to help you.

Strolling around Kaifeng Binhe Road Park surrounded by new Ruyan Liu and new greenery, you will be touched by the exuberant vitality and rich cultural heritage of the ancient city Kaifeng: an old man with white clothes and trousers, whose precise strokes and styles are quite tai chi zhang sanfeng's style; Several aunts who have been frosted on their temples but are still charming are seriously practicing the catwalk and are forming an elderly model team; Handicapped people who love calligraphy are holding a good mud bucket and splashing ink on the clean tile blue floor tiles ... The most exciting thing is the thrilling whipping sound of "pa" and "pa" spinning the gyro that resounds over the ancient city.

There is a saying that "the traditional culture of China is in the Central Plains, and the traditional culture of the Central Plains is in the two capitals-Heluo culture and BianSong Wenhua." The capital of Bianliang, the capital of East China, has always been a tourist and leisure city, which is "Xian Tong of all nations". In the treasure house of Kaifeng culture with a long history and profound accumulation, the folk culture with strong Kaifeng local characteristics is her most dazzling chapter; Among the ancient customs, rich and colorful folk cultural traditions, an ancient folk sports "playing the top" is another highlight of her.

1. A long history of gyroscopes

Gyroscopes originated in the Song Dynasty and were named in the Ming Dynasty. In "Baby Play Picture" collected by Su Hanchen of Song Dynasty in Taiwan Palace Museum (Kaifeng people worked as a waiter in Huizong Xuanhe Painting Academy of Northern Song Dynasty, taking Liu Zonggu as a teacher, and worked on the paintings of Taoist figures, especially the paintings of baby plays are more original), there are two children playing with a gyro in front of the picture, which also proves that there was indeed an inverted-bell gyro at that time. From the picture, the gyro at that time should be made of wood, like a cone, and used. Up to now, children in the north of the mainland are still popular in winter and early spring, especially throwing and playing on the thick ice, which is more fun. In another Su Hanchen's work "Playing Baby in Autumn Court", there is a prop to push the jujube mill. It is a rotating and balanced game. Whoever can keep the jujube mill balanced and turn for a long time will win. This painting can also prove that there were multiple types of gyro toys at that time. The gyro developed in the late Ming Dynasty is no different from the whipping gyro today. Liu Dong's poem "Yangliuhuo" is written: Yangliuhuo, whip the top. During this period, the word "gyro" has officially appeared.

second, gyro sports suitable for all ages

nowadays, with the development of national fitness activities in Kaifeng and the increasing number of leisure squares planned by the municipal government, this ancient folk sports activity-playing gyro-has gradually become the first choice for Kaifeng people's after-dinner fitness programs. Looking around the Park around Binhe Road, Jinming Square in the western suburbs, and Long Ting Park Square, you can see gyro-beaters everywhere. There are old people who are waving a whip and pumping a huge gyro round and round. When the gyro reaches a certain speed, they keep shaking the whip, enjoying the crispness of the "crackling" explosion and sweating, simply with bare arms, frank, comfortable and hearty; There are also less experienced players. Although they can't get the whip out, the gyro often can't turn for a few minutes, but the whip waved in their hands can occasionally explode once, and the gyro turns for three to five minutes quite tacitly. The first experience of success is written on their faces unabashedly, grinning generously and laughing a few times; There are also students-like teenagers who are staring at the whip rope that is flying up and down in the hands of the grandfather. Finally, they are not lonely, clutching their pockets that are not too full, and bargaining fiercely with the vendors selling gyroscopes on the roadside; There are even more toddlers who rush about in their parents' wide arms, constantly chasing the spinning top on the ground, and the clear-water eyes are clearly filled with endless curiosity and joy. What kind of magic should the whirlwind-like gyro and the exploding whip have, and how many new things can these little people put in their hearts?

3. Gyroscopes with innovative designs

Gyroscopes can be divided into paper gyroscopes, bamboo gyroscopes, copper gyroscopes, bobbin gyroscopes, wooden gyroscopes and plastic gyroscopes that are the favorite of primary school students. Different gyroscopes, of course, have different ways of playing: the paper gyro only needs to hold the upper end of the handle with the thumb and forefinger, twist it quickly and put it on the table, and the paper gyro will rotate independently on one foot; The bobbin gyro is similar; For the bamboo gyro, a thick cotton thread first passes through the bamboo piece, and then it is wound around the bamboo handle, and the winding direction should be from top to bottom. When it is wound, hold the end of the thread in one hand, draw it back hard, hold the gyro and the bamboo piece in the other hand, and push it forward. When both hands are forced at the same time, the gyro will rush forward and make a buzz. Wooden gyroscopes are the most common ways to play, but small and medium-sized gyroscopes are not the same as small gyroscopes. The former must first wind the rope, circle the rope around the nail with the right hand, hold it down with the left hand, then wind the rope outward along the nail with the right hand, then lift the gyro with both hands, throw it on the ground in an oblique space, and at the same time quickly withdraw the whip hard to make the gyro spin on the ground. With the increasing improvement of people's living standards, some well-made plastic light-emitting gyroscopes are generally favored by the majority of primary school students. You can walk into any primary school in Kaifeng city and see children playing with gyroscopes for ten minutes during the break. The colorful plastic gyroscopes are as colorful as flying, ranging from a dozen yuan to hundreds of yuan. How much childhood happiness did a small gyro transfer to the children and how much folk feelings did the old Kaifeng people inherit?

At dawn every day, in the southwest corner of Jinming Square, Master Li Xiaotang, a retired veteran cadre of Kaifeng City's political and legal system, and several other old people began a morning exercise-playing a gyro, which was as big as a barrel and as small as a glass. The most striking thing was that Li Shifu played a giant gyro with a diameter of 3 cm and a weight of 15 kg. I saw Li Shifu waving his hand for 5 meters. Mr. Tang Zhenmin, who is exercising in the Park around the South City Wall, has been playing gyro since 2xx, from the beginning of playing gyro weighing 2 kg to playing "Big Mac" weighing 2 kg today. The old man is almost 8 years old this year, and he plays gyro here for an hour and a half every day. After exercising, he is sweating profusely, and his previous scapulohumeral periarthritis, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia are all cured. The old man's brow speaks with pride and heroism.

Fourth, the little gyro turns out of Dagankun

With the popularity of gyro sports in Kaifeng, some savvy citizens see the business opportunities. Every night, when the lights are on, there will be many gyro rental cars around the major squares in Kaifeng, and vendors will push tricycles, and the cars will be filled with many kinds of gyroscopes of different sizes. Long Ting Square was very busy at 8 pm. Wang Guoqing, a stall owner who runs gyro business here, introduced to tourists that he has been doing gyro business for many years, and the skill of making gyro was handed down from his ancestors. His father taught him to make gyro as long as he can remember. On the two-wheeled cart next to him, more than forty gyroscopes of different sizes were neatly placed. Every night, Wang Guoqing will set up a stall here. According to Master Wang, he only rents and sells gyroscopes in three rounds every day, and his annual income can reach 1, yuan.

with the expansion of market demand, the long-standing small gyro is also changing to meet the needs of modern people. In order to adapt to the present situation of modern people working in the daytime and relaxing at night, various kinds of light-emitting gyroscopes came into being. The injection of these modern factors not only met the needs of citizens' fitness, but also was loved by tourists who came to visit Bian, and became a special souvenir that could reflect Kaifeng folk culture. Jin Linchun is well-known in Kaifeng gyro industry. Since he discovered the gyro business opportunity to open a small processing factory in 2xx, with the gradual warming of Kaifeng gyro market, the annual sales volume of his factory has reached five or six thousand, and the products are exported to more than ten provinces and cities such as Shanghai, Guangdong, Xinjiang and Northeast China. According to Liu Jinliang, president of Kaifeng Folk Arts and Crafts Association, there are more than ten factories and small workshops that make gyroscopes in Kaifeng, with an annual output of 8, pieces and an output value of nearly one million, of which 8% are sold locally, 89% are sold all over the country and 3% are sold to foreign tourists.

Little Tuo spiraled out of happiness, promoted the economy, and turned out of Gankun. Kaifeng Gyro will shake the whole China and the whole world with whipping sound, and make its debut in China and the world with its graceful posture of lunging low, throwing Tuo and rope, and stretching back. The century-old silent stone lions, the vicissitudes of ancient city walls, the majestic and quaint Yellow River wind, the mighty and solemn Long Ting Hall and the Panyang Lake, which can distinguish loyalty from treachery, witness year after year how this ancient and long-standing folk activity has been passed down from generation to generation. Is the history of Kaifeng pregnant with gyro culture, or does gyro culture make Kaifeng thick? The ancient and simple Kaifeng people have been enjoying the nourishment of folk traditions and creating their lives. They inherit the ancient culture and art. They interpret the civilization of the Millennium Imperial City with a persistent and atmospheric attitude. They cling to their own happiness and control their own pace of life with ease. They perform the most dazzling folk customs in their own calm and slow way.

Kaifeng, an ancient city with its back on a Yellow River and its foot on the imperial capital of seven generations, looks like an obscure and declining aristocrat, and these folk culture scattered among the people make this doddering old capital still look extraordinary and exciting.
