Diabolo

Diabolo is made of bamboo and wood, and is hollow, hence its name. In the Qing Dynasty, it was confused with hollow bells, commonly known as ringing gourds. In Jiangnan, it is also called diabolo. The most famous ones are produced in Beijing and Tianjin. Diabolo has a long history in my country. The book "A Brief Account of the Scenery of the Imperial Capital" in the Ming Dynasty describes the playing and production methods of diabolo. There are also cultural relics unearthed from the Ming Dingling Mausoleum as evidence. It can be seen that the history of diabolo being popular among the people is at least 600 years. Diabolo is disc-shaped, with a wooden shaft in the middle. The wooden shaft is wrapped with a bamboo stick and a string to pull and shake it. Diabolo is divided into single wheel (one end of the wooden shaft is a disc) and double wheel (one disc at each end of the wooden shaft). There are whistle holes around the disc, with a large whistle hole as the bass hole and several small whistle holes as the treble holes, which are divided into double ring, four ring, six ring, and up to thirty-six rings. When pulling and shaking the diabolo, each whistle sounds at the same time, high-pitched and vigorous, and the sound reaches the clouds. Beijing has a long history of diabolo, a stable mass base, and mature and complete technical skills. It is one of the most representative regions for the development and inheritance of diabolo, a folk sports activity. Beijing has a special folk organization, the "Beijing Toy Association Diabolo Professional Committee", which currently has nearly 100 members, including both diabolo experts and diabolo masters. The technical skills of diabolo are innovative in inheritance, such as "Golden Rooster on the Shelf", "Climbing Mountains and Ridges", "Vega Spinning", "Watching the Milky Way at Night", "Erlang Carrying the Mountain", "Looking Up at the Moon", "Carp Wagging its Tail", "Boy Worshiping the Moon", "Kite Turning Over", "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", "Fishing for the Moon from the Bottom of the Sea", "Rising to the Blue Sky", etc., which are dazzling and dazzling. Among them, "Ants Climbing Trees" is to tie one end of a long rope to the treetop and hold the other end. Another person shakes a diabolo and quickly throws the flying diabolo to the long rope. The rope holder pulls the long rope hard to shake the diabolo to a height of 50 to 60 meters in the air. When the diabolo falls, the diabolo player catches it steadily, which amazes the audience. Diabolo is a sport that relies on the clever coordination of the limbs. When holding the pole with both hands and shaking the diabolo to perform various tricks, the shoulder joints, elbow joints, wrist joints of the upper limbs, the hip joints, knee joints, ankle joints of the lower limbs, as well as the cervical and lumbar vertebrae are all moving to varying degrees, so diabolo is good for people's health. With the rapid development of cities and changes in people's lifestyles, diabolo, as a witness to historical development and a way of inheriting folk culture, is facing a shrinking cultural space. Therefore, it is necessary for relevant departments to take various effective measures to protect it.

Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining

The site consists of 23 components, mainly located in southwestern Japan. It bears witness to the country's rapid industrialization from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century through the development of the steel industry, shipbuilding, and coal mining. The site shows how feudal Japan sought to transfer technology from Europe and the United States from the mid-19th century onwards, and how these technologies were adapted to the country's needs and social traditions. The site bears witness to what is considered the first successful transfer of Western industrialization to a non-Western country.

Xian County Xiaotun Bamboo and Willow Ecological Tourism Park

Recently, at the Chunfeng Bamboo Willow Planting Base in Xiaotun Village, Hecheng Street Town, Xian County, we saw neat rows of bamboo willows on both sides of the asphalt road. When we climbed up and looked far away, we saw a sea of green in front of us. The leaves rustled in the breeze, and there was a strong vitality everywhere... In March 2010, Zhang Xiangdang, a villager in Xiaotun Village, contracted 2,300 mu of land and cooperated with Beijing Nongshen Technology Seedling Breeding Co., Ltd. to invest more than 20 million yuan to build a large-scale bamboo willow cultivation base integrating seedling cultivation and production base and high-yield forest experimental demonstration base. In order to ensure the healthy growth of bamboo willows and promote standardized development, the base invites technical experts from Chongqing and other places to provide scientific guidance from time to time. At present, the bamboo willows here are growing well, and the area has gradually developed to 3,000 mu. The willow forest has grown up, and the bamboo willow planting base has built the Xiaotun Bamboo Willow Ecological Sightseeing Park with the Bamboo Sea Garden as the center to develop characteristic tourism.
