“Gasing”?
What the hell is this?
Actually! It is the spinning top we are familiar with!
You throw it, I throw it, and it spins and spins!
In my childhood years,
The spinning “Gasing” (top) accompanied many children through their happy childhood!
The spinning top can be said to be a worldwide children’s toy.
It has been recorded in many different ethnic groups or countries.
It is a spinning toy,
The rotation process produces many gameplays, each with different fun.
In China, it is said that a toy similar to a top appeared in the Song Dynasty, called “Qianqian”.
It was a game played by the palace maids at that time!
It is made of a needle-shaped object usually about three centimeters.
Put it into an ivory disc,
Then twist the needle by hand,
Let the needle point stand on the ground and rotate.
The name “gyro” first appeared in the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, it is no longer just a toy for the palace ladies,
It has become a popular toy for ordinary people.
Its raw material is wood,
The way to play is to wrap the rope around it first,
First throw it forward, then pull it back,
The top will spin on the ground (just like it does now).
When the spinning top slows down, whip it with a rope or a whip while stopping in the same direction (similar to the so-called “whipping top” in modern times).
Early tops were mostly made of hard wood.
Made from the trunks of trees such as guava and longan,
How to make a spinning top from a tree trunk yourself has become a must-have craft for many boys back then!
In modern times, wooden tops have been slowly replaced by plastic ones.
The power of rotation also occurs in different ways such as spring-driven or electric.
These improved tops may be available in more patterns and colors.
But no matter how the top evolves,
The pleasure of whittling wooden tops with your own hands
The thrill of nailing each other with a top can never be replaced!
spinning top
1. The anti-slip line on the top is the starting point for rope winding, and the concave stripes can also prevent the rope from falling off.
2. Tie two single knots at the starting point of one end of the rope
3. Place one end of the rope on the anti-slip wire, hold the beginning of the rope with your fingers, and then place the rope upward on the tip of the top.
4. Wrap the rope in a circle starting from the tip of the top. The rope must be tightened when making the circle.
5. Wrap the rope to the position of the anti-skid line before stopping.
6. Hold the top with one hand and prepare to pull the rope with the other hand
7. Put the knotted part of the other end of the rope between your fingers and tighten it.
8. After the rope is wrapped, it’s time to whip the top!
The spinning top method can basically be divided into two categories: horizontal method and vertical method.
(1) Horizontal method
There is a formula for this! A very simple three-word mantra: “hang, fall, and pull.”
“hang”
Just hold the top in the air with your hands, do a lunge, and shake your hands back and forth in preparation.
“fall”
With the back of your hand facing down, bend over and throw the top forward vigorously from behind.
“pull”
Pull the tail of the rope around your hand hard and pull it back quickly, and the top will spin horizontally along the ground.
(2) Vertical method (Guan Gong Xicai):
This is a combative way! Hold the top high above your head and whip it from top to bottom. Using the gravity acceleration of the downward throw, the top has strong attack power and can even break other people’s tops, so it can be said to be a “killer” move. But whether you are nailing someone or being nailed by someone, there is an indescribable sense of excitement!
How to play
In the past, when a group of children got together to play spinning tops, there were many ways to play, but the more common ways to play were roughly as follows:
1. The simplest and most commonly played one is the long-lasting game. After everyone throws the top together, they will compete to see whose top can spin the longest. Who will be the Top King!
2. Draw a circle on the ground, throw two tops or even several tops together and spin them in the circle, let them collide with each other, and see whose top is knocked down first, you lose!
3. Divide the participants into two groups and use guessing to decide which group will start first. Then each group will take turns pulling the top to the ground. If the top is not played well, it will not spin but will just roll around on the ground. , and these tops lying on the ground can only be struck by the opponent. When the opponent holds the top high and aims it at the dead top on the ground, some of the tops will have a corner cut off, and some may even be cracked open. If you can crack the opponent’s top from the center, you can get the top screw. For boys back then, it was a very precious trophy!
Important reminder:
The top has sharp iron nails,
Make sure an adult is with you when playing.

Since nostalgic toys belong to the 1970s and 1980s,
There will inevitably be small flaws and roughness in the handwork.
Those who demand perfection are advised not to buy it!
「Gasing」？
这到底是什么玩意呢？
其实啊！它就是我们所熟悉的打陀螺啦！
你一拋，我一甩，转啊转！
在童年岁月中，
那一颗颗旋转的「Gasing」（陀螺）就这样伴随了许多孩子渡过快乐的童年！
陀螺可以说是一种世界性的童玩，
在许多不同民族或国家都曾经有它的纪录。
它是一种旋转的玩具，
由旋转过程，产生许多玩法，各有不同乐趣。
在中国，相传宋朝时已经出现一种类似陀螺的玩具，称之为「千千」，
是当时宫女们玩的游戏喔！
它是用常约三公分针状物体，
放入象牙製的圆盘中，
然后用手拧转此针，
使针尖立在地面上旋转。
「陀螺」这个名称，最早是出现于明朝。
此时，它也不再只是宫女的玩具，
已经成为民间一般人的一种大众化玩具。
它的製作原料是木头，
玩法则是先用绳子绕好后，
先向前抛，再往后拉，
陀螺就会在地面上旋转起来（就与现在的一样）。
当陀螺旋转速度缓慢下来时，再用绳子或是鞭子同方向的停的鞭打它（类似现代所谓的“鞭打陀螺”）。
早期的陀螺大多是用坚硬的木材，
如番石榴、龙眼等树的树干製成的，
如何自己动手用树干削製陀螺也成为当年许多男孩子必备的手艺喔！
现代，木头製的陀螺却已经慢慢被塑胶製的取代，
转动的动力也出现弹簧带动或是电动的等不同方式。
这些改良式的陀螺或许可以有较多的花样及色彩的呈现，
但是不管陀螺如何演变，
那一种亲手削製木陀螺的乐趣
和打陀螺互钉时的刺激感却是永远无法被取代的！
打陀螺
1.陀螺上的防滑线，是绳子缠绕的起点，凹行条纹也可以防止绳子的脱落。
2.于绳子一端的起点打两个单结
3.将绳子一端 放置于防滑线上，并用手指按住绳子起端，再将绳子往上放置于陀螺尖端部位。
4.将绳子从陀螺尖端开始绕圈，绕圈时必须拉紧绳子。
5.将绳子缠绕至防滑线的位置才停止
6.一手握住陀螺，另一手准备拉绳子
7.将绳子另一端打结的部分套在手指之间拉紧。
8.绳子缠绕完毕之后，接着就是准备抽打陀螺了！
陀螺的抽打方式基本上可以分成两大种：水平法、垂直法。
（一）水平法
这可是有口诀的唷！很简单的三字真言：「悬、倒、拉」
「悬」
就是把陀螺用手拿起悬空，摆出弓箭步，手前后摇晃做准备。
「倒」
手背朝下，弯身从身后把陀螺往前用力一抛。
「拉」
用力把绕在手上的绳尾，迅速向后一抽，陀螺就会沿着地面，水平的旋转不停。
（二）垂直法（关公噼材）：
这是一种具有搏击性的方式喔！将陀螺高举过头，由上往下边抽打，利用下抛的重力加速度使陀螺具有强劲的攻击力，甚至可将其他人的陀螺噼破，所以可说是一种「杀手」动作。但是不管是钉人家，或被人家钉，都具有一份令人难以形容的刺激感！
玩法
过去当一群孩子们聚在一起打陀螺时，可以有很多种玩法，但是较常见的玩法大致有下列三种：
1.最简单、也是大家最常玩的就是：持久赛，大家一起将陀螺抛出后，比比看到底是谁的陀螺能够转的最久，就是陀螺王啦！
2.在地上画一个圆圈，把两个陀螺甚至数个陀螺，一起抛打到圆圈裡面旋转，任其相互碰撞，看谁的陀螺最先被撞倒，就算是输囉！
3.将参加的人分为两组，用猜拳的方式决定那一组先开始，然后各组轮流将陀螺抽向地面上，打得不理想的陀螺，不会旋转，只会在地上乱滚，而这些躺在地上的陀螺，就只能任由对方噼击。当对方高举陀螺对准向地上的死陀螺噼去时，被钉上的陀螺，有的会被切去一角，有的甚至可能整颗都被噼裂开来。如果能把对方的陀螺从中噼开，就可以得到陀螺钉，对当年的男孩而言，那可是一种很珍贵的战利品喔！
重要提醒 :
陀螺带有尖锐的铁钉，
玩时确保大人在旁陪伴。

由于怀旧玩具都是属于七八十年代的玩意，
手工难免会有小瑕疵粗糙些，
要求完美者请最好不要购买哦！
