Molding:

After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, skipping activities were recorded in all previous dynasties. People in the Tang Dynasty wrote in Youyang Miscellaneous Land: "On August 15, walking like an elephant, seeing through the rope is a play." It can be seen that there was not only a game of skipping rope in the Tang Dynasty, but also named this game "Head Rope", which gave a special name to skipping rope.

After the Southern Song Dynasty, skipping activities developed into acrobatics and acrobatics, named "skipping". Song and Wu's "Dream Zaizhi Prince's South Class Enters the Birthday Banquet" records: "A hundred plays drag, which means climbing pole, skipping rope, handstand, bending over, playing bowl, kicking pot and somersaulting." ?

Song Mengyuan's Tokyo Dream, Cui Fujun's Birthday on June 6th, and Shen Bao Guan Shen's Birthday on the 24th: "Since early, there have been more than 100 scenes of pole climbing, rope skipping, sumo wrestling, drumming and chicken fighting." From the "head rope" in the Tang Dynasty to the "skipping rope" in the Southern Song Dynasty, the name of skipping rope is more vivid and specific.

Children skipping rope was also very popular in Liao Dynasty. The picture of children skipping rope in Xuanhua Liao Tomb was found in Zhang Kuangzheng's tomb in 1 area and painted on the front of the semi-circular wall above the wooden door in the back room. The content of the picture is the skipping game of three children. The left and right children bend their legs and vigorously swing a long rope, while the shirtless child in the middle bends his knees and stretches his arms, jumping lightly and delicately, which is a very precious skipping cultural relic.
