Chinese wrestling was officially named.

Chinese wrestling was officially named 1958.

From 65438 to 0953, Chinese wrestling was listed as the official event of the first minority sports meeting. Subsequently, it also became the official event of the National Games and the championship. 1957, Chinese wrestling rules were promulgated, which further standardized the sport. In order to distinguish it from international wrestling in the Olympic Games, 1958, the former State Sports Commission formally proposed to name China's inherent wrestling "Chinese wrestling".

This form of wrestling has a long history and is one of the traditional sports in China. In ancient times, it was called wrestling, corner touching and sumo wrestling. As early as 5,000 years ago, there were ancient wrestling activities in the era of the Yellow Emperor. Chinese wrestling is characterized by its emphasis on skill and flexibility, as well as the coordinated movement of the whole body.
