What other modern sports were played by the ancients, like "golf"?

China is one of the four ancient civilizations, the other three countries have been with the process of history, with the passage of time, has been dust and annihilation, only our country's national, cultural heritage down. But there are many ancient movements, culture and so on but due to time, in modern times into the culture of other countries, in fact, these cultures, our archaeologists, have looked for evidence.

Recently, I saw on the network "Shanxi ancient murals in the sports elements" in Taiyuan Art Museum exhibition, inside the Shanxi murals show a lot of ancient sports, such as golf and similar sports, in the present and what sports are our ancient times have existed? Then I now share with you:

Cuju

is that we now look at the soccer, in fact, in ancient times, as early as the Warring States period Chinese folk popular recreational Cuju game, and from the Han Dynasty and become a military practice method, there is a record of Cuju also known as stepping on the bow, Song and Ming Dynasties also known as round bow, building ball, etc., is the ancient Chinese soccer, but also the world's earliest soccer.

Unfortunately, although our country's ancient people have long been invented this sport of soccer, but the level of our country's soccer players, hey, say more are tears. Now the sport has been carried forward by the Western countries, although so, but does not affect the national people love to see this sport.

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, one of the rituals when lords feasted their guests was to ask them to shoot arrows. Later not many people will shoot arrows, slowly evolved into throwing pots, this is now also more people like to play the sport.

Dragon and lion dance

The dragon is an ancient totem of the Han Chinese people, and legend has it that the dragon can move clouds and rain, eliminate disasters and bring down blessings, symbolizing auspiciousness, and at present, this tradition is still preserved in many parts of our country, such as the lion dance in Foshan in Guangdong Province, and there are wonderful performances inside the movie Huang Fei-hong, which I believe that those who have watched it will know.
