我这里正好有篇，很详细：

The Chinese yo-yo is a toy from China consisting of two equally-sized discs connected with a long axle. The Chinese yo-yo is kept spinning on a string tied to two sticks at its ends. Each stick is held in one hand. In modern times, it is used as a children's toy and as a performance tool in juggling and sometimes in Chinese ethnic dance. It is possible to perform a large variety of tricks with the Chinese yo-yo which can be as easy as throwing the yo-yo up into the air or tossing it around the user's back. It was found during the Ming dynasty.

Like the Western yo-yo, it maintains its spinning motion through a gyroscopic effect based on conservation of angular momentum.

Chinese yo-yos were traditionally made of bamboo, which was very easy to break and not convenient for complicated tricks. Modern models, however, are now made of plastic for added durability. The sticks used with the yo-yo continue to be made of wood.

Some Chinese yo-yos have grooves inset in the rim of the discs; these grooves cause them to make a whistling sound when spinning at high speeds. The sound allows the performer to gauge his speed and adjust the yo-yo accordingly.

The Chinese yo-yo is thousands of years old and has been adapted in the West as the diabolo. The Chinese yo-yo differs from the diabolo in two primary ways. First, the axle of the Chinese yo-yo is much longer than that of the diabolo. Also, the Chinese yo-yo has wheel-shaped discs, whereas the diabolo consists of two bell-shapes. The Chinese yoyo is also typically grooved and made of hard plastic, while diabolos are not grooved and usually made of a durable rubber material. For a comparison, see a picture of a Chinese yo-yo here and a picture of a diabolo here.

There are many different ways to accelerate the yo-yo. The simplest way to accelerate your yo-yo is to move both sticks up and down; this is known as open string drive . To speed the yo-yo up faster you will go into what is called closed string drive; in order to do this, you need to wrap the string around the yo-yo once. For beginners, to get into closed string drive put the yo-yo on the floor and have the string spread out under it. Now take the right stick and move it counter clockwise, lift up the yo-yo and move the string under it. Also note that when the yo-yo is running in the middle of the string, it will be called standard position.

Accelerate: the first thing you need to learn to accelerate.

Lift Up: lift the yo-yo up while the yo-yo is running on the string.

Swing: swing the yo-yo from the sticks clockwise and then counter

clockwise (like a swing that goes over the top)

Elevator: have one stick at the top and one at the bottom and pull the sticks apart, the yo-yo will ascend[also called ant climbing the tree]

Toss and Catch: launch the yo-yo into the air by separating the sticks rapidly. Catch on taut strings.

Stick Grind: get the yo-yo to run on the yo-yo stick

Jumping: have the yo-yo running on one of the sticks and then throw it into the air and catch it with the other stick

Waterfall: from standard position, take one stick and wrap it over the other stick and then under the yo-yo; from here take the second stick and flip in the opposite direction

Wrap and Escape:from standard position, take one stick and wrap it over the other stick and then under the yo-yo; from here move the first stick all the way over so that it crosses over the Chinese yo-yo.

More advanced tricks include:

Fake Throw: move to side of yo-yo, then take one stick and quickly wrap it over the other stick, then under the yo-yo. go behind the first stick, and cross over the top. from this position, slide the stick under the yo-yo one last time and fling the yo-yo over. the yo-yo should swing back to you.

Around the World:push yo-yo up with one stick, then force the yo-yo down with enough momentum to circle around the other.

Propeller:push one stick up into the air, allowing the yo-yo to fly into the air, and twirl the released stick around, catching it as it completes a revolution.

A set of Devil Sticks consists of one baton—usually about 60-120 cm (2-4 feet) long—and two control sticks—generally about 1 cm (0.4 inch) thick and 30-50 cm (12-20 inches) long—which are used to manipulate the baton. The baton (often called "the center stick" or simply "the stick") is in some instances tapered from the end to the center, typically about 3 cm (1.2 inch) in diameter at the ends and 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) in the middle. Designs and measurements vary quite widely. In extreme cases, the center stick may be as short as 1-foot (0.30 m) or so, ranging to the extreme length of slightly more than twice that of the juggler's height, in which case the juggler has to stand on a table or pedestal. Most commonly, though, control sticks will be about as long as the combined length of the juggler's hand and forearm, the baton being slightly longer than the width of the juggler's upper body.

The baton is lifted/struck/stroked alternately by the two control sticks ('handsticks' or 'sidesticks'). The control sticks, and sometimes the baton as well, are often covered with leather, silicon, rubber, tape, skateboard grip, sandpaper or cloth, in order to provide good 'grip' or friction when in contact with the Devil Stick. Some sets, on the other hand, are made of polished, bare hardwood.

In one basic stick maneuver, known as the Pendulum, the Idle or Tick-tock, the center stick is lifted alternately with the left and right handsticks touching the baton at a point about halfway between the center of gravity and each end, causing the ends to swing to either side while the center of the baton remains at a somewhat constant height.

The pendulum is an important move to learn, because to a great extent, every other trick is a variation on it.

The 'helicopter' spin is a variation in which a horizontal rotational force is applied as the baton 'pendulums' in the vertical plane, causing a continuous rotation in a nearly horizontal plane. Advanced twirlers can twirl the stick with one stick only (called the propellor), with an arm, knee or other limb and are able to manipulate the baton in any plane above below or in front of or behind the performer's body while walking, unicycling or tightrope balancing. Some can even twirl two batons simultaneously.

There are an infinite number of tricks available for the Devil Sticks:

Any trick done with one hand can be learned with the alternate hand.
Rotations can be reversed, such as helicopter or propeller spins.
It is possible to cross ones arms as the devil stick is tick-tocked, this can lead to what appears to be a Devil Sticks version of a three-ball juggling trick called 'Mills Mess'.
Devil Sticks may be placed vertically on one's nose, chin, elbow, foot, etc., and balanced by moving the bottom of the stick in the same direction that the top is beginning to fall towards.

Cephalostachyum is a simple bamboo toys.It is the middle of a slender wooden shaft with a hollow circle at both ends of each round, round a few weeks to open mouth square posts.Truss with two short a rope, the rope wrapped around his waist in the Cephalostachyum axis, the upper and lower jitter, whistle mouth like a ringing sound will be issued.
Diabolo was originally a kind of Chinese folk children's play, then people will diabolo onto the stage and become the voice of the acrobatic show, it has also been praise for the people acrobatics in "music poetry."
