Playing flower sticks has a long history. It is said that in the past, folk artists had an unwritten rule before practicing acrobatics, that they had to warm up by playing flower sticks. This is a traditional skill-based juggling project. The juggler holds a one-foot-long thin stick in each hand, hitting up and down, pulling left and right, blocking and pushing back, throwing high and picking low, so that the flower stick in the middle with bells tied at both ends turns left and right, flies up and down, and makes a "clatter, clatter" metallic crisp sound from time to time. The skill and watchability are quite strong. Playing flower sticks was once an entertainment and pastime for the nobles of the imperial palace in Beijing. The flower stick skills of the current inheritor Cha Yongshui are said to have come from the palace and have been passed down from generation to generation by the descendants of the Cha family. The ancestors of the Cha family lived in Chaji Village, Xuancheng, Anhui. In the late Qing Dynasty, Cha Yongshui (1869-1929) and his generation moved to Dinghai, Zhejiang, and brought the flower stick skills to Dinghai, Zhejiang. In the early Republic of China, they moved to Lujiazhai, Shanghai (now the Zhongxing Road area of Zhabei District). In the 1920s and 1930s, Cha Yongshui's son, Cha Ruilong (1904-1972), known as the "Eastern Hercules", mastered the hand-made flower stick skills that were rare and almost extinct in the south under the guidance of his father, and formed the flower stick skills with the Cha style on the basis of inheriting the tradition. Invited by the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association, Cha Ruilong's flower stick performance was refreshing to the audience and was hailed as the "Flower Stick King". Cha Tianpei (1947-), the son of Cha Ruilong, began to practice flower stick under the guidance of his father at the age of seven. Now 68 years old, he still practices every day and has extraordinary skills. He uses the tool "bird plane" (straight plane) left by his father to make hand-made flower stick utensils.
