Traditional sports of ethnic minorities

Mongolian wrestling is one of the traditional Mongolian sports, which has a broad mass base on Mongolian grassland. It is a typical representative sport that embodies the strong character, tenacious fighting spirit, hard struggle and perseverance of the Mongolian people. In order to spread this national traditional competition to the whole country, the relevant departments have revised and tested the competition rules many times, and now the competition rules of Mongolian wrestling have been formally determined, and five national Mongolian wrestling invitational tournaments have been held in Hohhot and other places. From 65438 to 0990, the first international large-scale "Nadam" conference was held in Hohhot, which made Mongolian wrestling, a traditional national sport, attract worldwide attention.

Walking around the mountain forest is a large-scale sports activity of the Bai people, which has a history of more than 1000 years. According to Yang Qiong's Notes on Central Yunnan, "There was a forest walk in Dali in the Qing Dynasty. Every spring, men and women get together, with nearly 10 million people in groups of 100. Men are like riding a fan with a towel, stepping, singing, or patting the whip. " Modern people's activities in the mountains broke superstition and advocated science. Young people, in particular, look for love and fun in activities around the mountains, regardless of the ranking and rewards of running, beating the whip, money drums, swimming, boating and horse racing. They mainly devote themselves to nature, enjoy the beauty of natural scenery and experience the fun and happiness of sports.
