Relevant knowledge of ancient ice and snow sports in China;

The history of ice and snow movement in China can be traced back to the Paleolithic Age. Rock paintings of megalithic caves on the east slope of Dundebrak Valley in Handgate Township, Altay City, Xinjiang, show the skiing and hunting scenes of primitive ancestors. The movement of snow and ice recorded in this picture was in the late Paleolithic period. At present, there is still a "Skiing Long Tune" circulating in Handgate Township, Altay City, as well as stories and songs about skiing and hunting.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the literature records of ice and snow activities were more clear, and ice and snow games were the main ones. During this period, the material, shape and skiing skills of "snowboard" were recorded in detail. According to the Sui Shu, the Shiwei people in Daxing 'anling, who "shoot and hunt for service, eat meat and hide", rode on trees because of "fear of falling into the snow".

The Tongdian Frontier Defense of the Tang Dynasty records that the "Bashimi" and other ethnic groups in the Sui and Tang Dynasties "took wood as a horse and competed in the snow", which means that Shiwei people and Bashimi people have mastered the skiing technology equivalent to the current sledding.

Many poems in the Tang Dynasty express their feelings through ice and snow games and ice souls. In the Tang Dynasty, Du Xunhe's poem "Send the Monk to Mount Huangshan Mutang Spring, Attend the Zen Elders", "Wild old people pray for noisy temples,

The hunter rushed to Xiang Xue deer, stunned the forest "describes the hunter hunting in the snow. These records show that the early snow and ice movement in China is closely related to the production and life practice of nomadic people in the north, which reflects the wisdom of ancestors adapting to local conditions and adapting to nature.
