Traditional Chinese toys are part of the traditional Chinese culture. They make folk games and sports activities of China rich and colourful. Here is a traditional Chinese toy that many
children
(child)like to play—Chinese shuttlecocks(jiànzi).
Shuttlecock kicking has
a
history of more than
2,000 years in China. People
have played
(play)it since the Han Dynasty. Even now, Shuttlecock kicking is still one of the most popular activities. It can help people keep active and enjoy
themselves
(they). People can play it indoors or outdoors, and it's a great way to get some exercise. Shuttlecocks can be played by one person
or
several persons. Sometimes, five or six persons form a small circle, kicking a shuttlecock
happily
(happy). There are also some people who like playing alone. Even when you play
by
yourself, you can often attract other people and make them want to come around and watch you play.

to find
(find)two or three flat washers(垫圈), put several feathers in the hole, and then put the feathers and the coins together with cloth strips. The rule of shuttlecock kicking is also easy: Keeping the shuttlecock in the air by
