Sometimes for folkloric Chinese dance numbers, diabolo yoyo is used as a prop
Yo-yos are believed to be of Chinese origin and are
also seen depicted on ancient vases from Greece dating back to 500 BC.
The chinese yoyo is
way different from ones you find kids playing in the United States. In fact,
the diabolo played
within the Western countries is an offshoot of the famous yo-yo from China. In
the past when the material plastic was not known toys were made from wood.
Hence, bamboo and wood material was used to make the first yoyos in China.
The chinese yoyo can
be thrown up in the air and caught not being attached to a string. It can be
passed from one player to the next. Multiple yoyos can be juggled at one time
depending on your skill. In the Chinese New Year performances incorporation of
yoyos is considered to be one of the most exciting acts. In the present time,
the yoyos available are fantastically designed and some come with lights too.
