Which country did the abduction game originate from?

So far, no one has made a rigorous textual research on the origin of this form of movement. But there are two theories that can be used as a reference for the origin of foot fighters. (1) The theory of "Chiyou Opera" is based on the ancient literature "Liang Shuo Yi Ji": "In the Qin and Han Dynasties, Chiyou was like a halberd with horns on his head. Fight Xuanyuan, reach people from an angle, but people can't. There is music in Jizhou today, called' Chiyou Opera'. The people are in twos and threes, and they are rushing through the corners. " "Chiyou Opera" is a popular folk competition in ancient northern rural areas of China, which is of significance to commemorate the Chiyou family who competed with the Yellow Emperor in the Central Plains. Chiyou Opera is a wrestling game. "Chiyou Opera" is to imitate the image of Chiyou with horns on his head, that is, the imitator has a headdress with horns on his head, and the main action is to touch people with horns, so it is also called "Corner Opera". After Qin Shihuang unified China, people were forbidden to own weapons, which flourished as a corner of unarmed combat. Biography of Li Si in Historical Records records Qin Ershi's viewpoint of "making gladiatorial combat superior to the top" in Ganquan Palace, which shows that gladiatorial combat at this time is a comprehensive competitive performance including various skills. In the Han Dynasty, a competitive activity developed from "Chiyou Opera" and performed by two people in public appeared among the people. It can be found in various historical materials that this kind of "Chiyou Opera" is not only the embryonic form of China opera, but also the embryonic form of China acrobatics and martial arts. In other words, it is almost the origin of various forms of folk sports in China. Therefore, some people think that foot fighters are based on a form of sports, evolved from "Chiyou Opera" and spread among the people in the form of children's games.
