What is the history of yo-yo?

The yo-yo is called the second oldest toy (the first one is a doll). The earliest record in history books appeared in Greece 500 years ago. Now, such ceramic pots are still preserved in the National Museum of Athens. The characters in the jar hold their leisurely ancestors. The material of this toy is wood, metal or colored clay, and the patterns are mostly gods. Yo-yo comes from Tagalog in the Philippines, which means "come back" or "go back". In A.D. 1500, the hunting people in the Philippines hung heavy objects such as dried fish shells at the front end of a 20-foot (about 6-meter) long rope as tools for hunting animals and fighting. It is said that children of hunting nations make smaller models of this tool and start to play with it. This is the origin of leisure. In A.D. 1700, Youyou spread from China to Nagasaki, to India and from India to Europe. In Japan, Youyou is vividly called "unicycle" or "money wheel", which is deeply loved by young people. /kloc-At the beginning of the 8th century, Youyou was widely popular in Britain under the name of "Treasure of the Prince" and in France under the name of "Norman Youyou", especially in the upper classes of France and Britain, and was regarded as a fashionable and noble toy by the nobles. In the International Art Museum, you can also see an oil painting called "King George IV is Playing Yo-Yo", which shows the popularity of yo-yo in Europe at that time. The name yo-yo first appeared in 1920. A Filipino named Pedro Flores introduced the yo-yo to America. At that time, he worked in a hotel and picked it up to play in his spare time. Later, he set up his own toy company, Flores YoYo Company. 1929 DUNCAN, Tang Nuo, after seeing the potential of yo-yo, set up a company of the same name and began to train demonstrators, perform everywhere and guide people to play yo-yo and hold competitions. 1950, Duncan made the first plastic yo-yo and butterfly yo-yo. Yo-yo fever appeared in 1962, Duncan put yo-yo

The yo-yo performance was put on TV. 1965 1 1 Duncan Company could not continue to maintain and declared bankruptcy. Flambeau took over, 1 1 kind of Duncan yo-yo is still popular today. Due to the high profit of making yo-yos, many companies have introduced yo-yos. 1978, Tom Kuhn made a yo-yo named No Live 3-in- 1, which was the first yo-yo with changeable orientation. 1980, Michael caffrey invented the yo-yo that can be automatically restored. 1990, the yo-yo with nylon bearing and ball bearing reappeared. 1April, 985 12, as part of the space toy program, the yo-yo was first brought into space by NASA's Discovery spacecraft. They found that Yo-Yo had no downward gravity and could not spin and bounce back to the line. They also confirmed that the yo-yo must be thrown instead of falling freely because there is no gravity to stop it. 1July 3, 9921day, the yo-yo was taken into space again, this time to shoot a teaching video including a yo-yo. This makes Youyou very popular in the United States, Japanese, China, Hongkong and Philippine. Youyou associations have been established in various places, such as AYYA (American Youyou Association), JYYA (Japanese Youyou Association), Billtow Iraqi Drama Troupe, etc.

The gift of yo-yo

In 1990s, yo-yo originated in Hawaii and won the world championship. 1997- 1998 Japanese toy giant Bandai Company represented YOMEGA, one of the three major brands in the Yo-Yo world, and put on the Yo-Yo.

Sports have been brought to Asia. Using the powerful production ability of Bandai, the yo-yo was adapted into an animation "Speedy Yo-Yo", and ——THP, the most famous yo-yo team, was invited to promote it in Japan. Later, THP Japan Company was established, the most famous of which were Alex in America and Nakamura in Japan. I believe that players who have seen the yo-yo animation are familiar with these two people. In the era when the professionalization of players is just budding, these two seniors are just like the legend, and they are full of performance everywhere. In 1980s and 1990s, Guo Dawang, a professional yo-yo player from Taiwan Province Province, China, went to the mainland to promote the game, which set off quite a yo-yo craze. Similarly, during 1998, Jennifer and Sky, two other THP members, were invited by Audi Toys Co., Ltd. to perform in China, Jingguang and other places, which set off the second yo-yo craze in China. 200 1, China introduced the cartoon "Flying Yo-Yo". After the cartoon was broadcast, the national yo-yo craze broke out again, and the timing of this outbreak coincided with the arrival of the Internet era. A group of domestic yo-yo players met and settled on the Internet. Soon after, the craze receded, but the yo-yo really took root in China. Four years later, with the popularity of "King of Firepower" filmed by Audi Toys Company, the yo-yo was finally recognized by most people, and ordinary people got to know the yo-yo. Then, with the intervention of the media and the progress of the game, the circle of yo-yo players is gradually expanding. Now there are official yo-yo competitions in China. In 2006, the national yo-yo competition was broadcast on CCTV Children's Channel. I believe many friends know the real play of yo-yo. With the popularity of the Internet, thousands of information about yo-yo can be searched online. There are also many professional yo-yo websites in China, which are used for teaching and player communication.
