    ? The flowers have faded and the red and green apricots are small,

    When the swallows, green water around people.

    There are few willows blowing on the branches,

    There is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world.

    The swing inside the wall and the road outside the wall,

    Pedestrians outside the wall, beautiful women inside the wall laugh.

    The laughter gradually fades away,

    Passionate but annoyed by ruthlessness.

    It was that alley again, but Wang Mian never had the courage to step into Miss San's house.

    He had no choice but to lead the horse and walk back and forth in the alley, thinking: Why didn't someone come out and call him in?

    The horse seemed to be tired of walking, it stood down, lowered its head and ate the flowers and grass growing at the bottom of the wall.

    The apricot blossoms in the yard are still so white, so beautiful, so fascinating.

    A gust of wind blows, and the pure white flowers fly down, like a snow, like a dream, awakening the heart of Wang Mian who has been sleeping for many years.  He picked up a flower and looked at its four delicate petals, like precious crystals, like priceless gems.

    The apricot blossom branch sticking out of the wall, its white and soft petals fluttered against the face of Wang Mian, oh, what a romantic thing this is!

    When you really realize that kind of beauty, you will find that the holy white color has not chosen the wrong master, and letting apricot blossoms dominate itself will only make it appear more gentle and charming.

    "Huh¡ª¡ª"

    Another gust of wind came, the flowers faded to red, and there were not many petals left on the branches. He could already see the small apricots growing from the flower pedicles.  Spring feeling.

    Swallows are flying lightly, they are busy holding mud to make their nests; green water flows quietly around the small village.  Don't say that Cuiwei Mountain is wild and remote, in fact, here is also a beautiful scenery.

    At this time, there was a sound of laughter in the yard. Hey, the girls seemed to be swinging: "Will there be you? Why didn't I hear your sweet laughter? There must be no! Otherwise, how could you not know that I am here?"  Waiting outside the wall stupidly!"

    It was noon, and the girls left after swinging.

    The sudden disappearance of the laughter made Wang Mian, who was admiring it outside the wall, feel infinitely melancholy: "The beautiful woman is just in her teenage years, and she is in the same age as flowers; but I am already in my forties, and I am wandering in a foreign land, what can I give her?"  future?" He didn't dare to think about it

    "How about, let's forget about it?" Wang Mian retreated.

    Until the sun was westward, he was pulling up his horse and preparing to go back dejectedly.  A hearty noise called him back again

    [2] Children's Songs of Songfengge Poems

    The familiar voice flew into his ears: "Why did you drag me here!"

    Another voice: "Third Sister, let's jump rope [1] and play together!"

    Miss San said: "I just finished eating, I'm too lazy to move~"

    "Oh, third sister, you don't understand this. After eating, it's time to do some exercise to digest food. Otherwise, if you gain weight, people won't like you." This voice, you can tell it's Miss Fourth.

    The third lady said: "You guys dance, whoever wins the dance, I will reward her with fruits."

    Mei Xiang asked: "Where is the fruit?"

    The third lady said: "Look, the plums on the tree, I will climb the tree and pick them for you."

    Fourth Miss asked: "Are the plums delicious now?"

    "I'll go up and have a look, and I'll know." After finishing speaking, Miss San went to climb a tree.

    Mei Xiang and Fourth Miss' maid Ningxiu pulled up the rope one by one, while Fourth Miss and maid Xiang Cao rolled up their sleeves, and they were ready to jump rope.

    Mei Xiang bowed her body and bent her legs, and swayed the long rope vigorously, Ningxiu raised her voice and began to sing the jumping rope nursery rhyme:

    "Taiping DrumJump in turn or at the same time.  When jumping, various action patterns can be arranged according to different situations, and songs with suitable rhythm and melody can also be used to accompany singing.  In addition to pattern skipping, you can also run to the finish line while shaking the rope according to a certain distance to compete in speed.

    Since the Southern Song Dynasty, rope skipping has been practiced every festive season, called "jumping white rope", which originally belonged to garden games and later developed into a folk competitive sport.  Rope skipping is a physical game in which various jumps are performed on a rope that swings in a loop.  Song Wu Zimu's "Meng Liang Lu. Prince Zaizhi's Nanban Hundred Officials Come In to Give a Banquet for His Birthday" records: "The hundred operas are pulled, such as climbing a pole, jumping a rope, standing on your head, bending your waist, playing with a bowl, kicking a rock bottle, and somersaulting.  "Song Mengyuan's "Tokyo Menghualu. June 6th, Cui Fujun's birthday, 24th Shenbao Guanshen's birthday": "Since the early days, there have been a hundred dramas, such as pole climbing, gaiting, rope jumping, sumo wrestling, and drum boards.  Singing and cockfighting." From "Tuosuo" in the Tang Dynasty to "jumping rope" in the Southern Song Dynasty, the name of rope skipping has become more vivid and specific.

    no.3 Ming Dynasty

    In the Ming Dynasty, rope skipping gradually became a kind of folk custom. During festivals, people have rope skipping activities.  And there is a multiplayer-rotate game mode.  According to Shen Bang's "Wanshu Miscellaneous Notes. Folk Customs 1": "Jumping a hundred ropes: (the first month) on the sixteenth day, I used a rope to be about ten feet long, and the two children were holding each other. The flying swing was erratic, making it difficult to stare.  In fact, it is the same. When the group rides on it, they jump on it, and the one who can pass is the winner. Otherwise, they will be tripped by the rope, and the one who listens to the rope will be hit by the rope as a punishment." And it is recorded in "Emperor Beijing Scenery. Lantern City"  : "Yuanxi (the first night of the first lunar month), the two boys lead the rope slightly, like a white light wheel. One boy jumps in the light, and the day jumps the white rope." These are the game methods of double rope swinging and multiplayer-round jumping.

    Rope skipping was also very popular among women in the Ming Dynasty.  According to the 18th chapter of "Jin Ping Mei", which was written in the Ming Dynasty, the two names "jumping horse rope" and "jumping Baisuo" are used, referring to rope skipping.  However, the "jumping rope" has given us the inspiration to explore the origin of skipping rope, that is, the "tripping rope" used in ancient wars.  The ancients may have been inspired by military activities. In the military training of stumbling and avoiding stumbling, they changed from riding a horse across a rope to a single jumping rope. From this, it continued to evolve and eventually became a variety of rope skipping activities.

    It is described in "Jin Ping Mei" that Ximen Qing came home from outside, "Just got off the horse and entered Yimen, only to see Wu Yueniang, Meng Yulou, Pan Jinlian and Ximen's eldest sister, dancing and playing with children in the courtyard of the front hall under the moonlight. See  When Ximen Qing came home, Yueniang, Yulou, and eldest sister all walked back, only Jinlian did not go, and she was holding her shoes on the courtyard pillars.  What kind of Baisuoer danced for no reason'".  Later, Pan Jinlian provoked in front of Ximen Qing: "You came home after drinking wine the day before yesterday, and the three of you usually danced Baisuo in the yard, and only took my evil spirit."  From this point of view, not only the girls of Ximen Qing's family used to play rope skipping for leisure, but also the rope skipping at that time had a new name "jumping rope".

    no.5 Qing Dynasty

    Rope skipping was a winter outdoor activity in the Qing Dynasty, which was very popular among children.  Pan Rongbi's "Dijing Sui Shi Ji Sheng. Sui Shi Za Xi" recorded the folk entertainment activities of the Lantern Festival in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty. Among them: "Bo opera involves riding bamboo horses, fluttering butterflies, dancing white ropes, and Tibetan Mongolian children."  English "Lamp City": "Two boys lead the index slightly, like a white light wheel, and a boy jumps into the light, called 'jumping white rope'".  In the 20th year of Qing Daoguang, it was majored by Wang Zhifang and Wang Zhen, the magistrates of Jinan Prefecture. The "Jinan Fu Zhi. Customs" compiled by Cheng Yu and Leng Ju also contained: "Every year on the first lunar new year's day of Mengchun children play with rope jumping,  It's called 'Dancing Baisuo'." There is also a record in the "Songfeng Pavilion Poetry Notes" of the Qing Dynasty, saying: "The Taiping drum, the sound is booming, and the white light is like a round dancing boy. One child dances and one sings, and one child dances.  Into the wheel of light." In "One Hundred Slogans of Yantai" in the late Qing Dynasty, there is a poem about dancing Baisuo: "Dancing Baisuo round the city, burning cedars as salary on Yuanxi. The continuous sound of Luosuo  In response, the Taiping drum beats off the young people."  It can be seen that children in the Qing Dynasty often danced Baisuo during the New Year, beating the "Taiping Drum" and singing along with rhythmic songs, which added a lot of festive atmosphere to the New Year.

    In the Qing Dynasty, there were also records of women jumping a hundred ropes. For example, in the Qing Dynasty "Leling County Chronicles. Jingzhi. Customs": "During the Lantern Festival, women used rope skipping as a play, called 'jumping a hundred ropes'."

    "Illustrations of Beneficial Games" published in the late Qing Dynasty said: "Use a six-foot hemp rope, hold both ends in your hand, turn from the head to the foot, and turn and jump, thinking of a game, it is called rope flying."  Rope skipping is called "rope flying" here.  Regardless of the method or name of the rope skipping, there are some inheritance and development.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
