Kongzhu, also known as the Chinese yo-yo, works as a diabolo spinning and buzzing like an acrobat on a string.
It's an art that dates back more than 1,000 years. It has passed down from the hands of lords and dignitaries to become a household pastime.
It was the "clap-less bells" during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and "vibrating bells" in southern China.
