historical origins

Diabolo has a long history in China. Ming Liu Dong and Yu Yi are recording in "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital: Spring Field": "An empty bell, with a hollow wood, swings with asphalt at the side mouth, is as outstanding as a bell, and the handle is flat on it. Don't wrap a rope around its handle, don't have a hole in a bamboo ruler, measure its rope and reach the empty clock, but the rope pulls right, while the bamboo pulls left. A le, empty bell boom and turn, the big bell, small frog qiang fly, a bell break is already.

if the diameter is from eight inches to nine inches, let it go, one to three people. " In ancient times, this kind of so-called "empty clock" was commonly called "pulling the rope to turn" in Beijing, "boring Hulu" in Tianjin, and "ground bell" in some places. Li Jiarui's "Peiping Customs and Recreation" quoted the old people in the Qing Dynasty as saying: there are so-called "empty bells" in children's toys in the capital, that is, land bells in other provinces.

bamboo tubes are used at both ends, columns are used in the middle, and the rope is used to pull the sound. Only the empty clock in the capital (referring to Beijing) is round and flat, with a shaft and two wheels. Its sound is clearer and longer than that made in other provinces. "
