What sport did China invent?

There are cuju, wrestling, pill throwing, archery and dragon boat racing.

1, cuju

Cuju was a ball game in ancient China. Its earliest record can be found in Historical Records and Biography of Su Qin: "Lin Miao is very rich and practical, and his people are all boastful." Cuju, also known as Cuju, is also called Cuqiu, Chu Yuan, ball making and kicking, all of which mean kicking the ball with your feet.

Cuju originated in Linzi, the capital of Qi, and was popular during the reign of Qi Xuanwang (365,438+09-365,438+00 BC). In the Han dynasty, it was regarded as the way of "governing the country and practicing martial arts". Born in the city, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang not only loved playing football himself, but also built a "Juyu" in the palace, which was also a football field. Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, also listed cuju as a military training subject to improve the general's physical fitness and reaction ability, and used cuju as a means to train soldiers and test their physique.

Step 2 wrestle

Wrestling: Wrestling is an ancient sport in China. It is an activity that people conquer nature with their own strength without borrowing any tools. In a sense, this is the most primitive and earliest physical activity of human beings.

3. Drop pill: It comes from the "stepping ball" in the Tang Dynasty, which is very similar to modern hockey. However, in the Song Dynasty, the sport of stepping on the ball gradually developed from the original antagonistic competition to the non-antagonistic competition. The goal was cancelled and the hole was used instead, and the ball scored a point in the hole. The form of the competition has changed and the name has also changed. It's called "Blowing Pills".

4. Archery: Archery is a sport that uses the elasticity of the bow to shoot arrows and compete accurately within a certain distance. As far back as/kloc-0,000,000 years ago in the Middle Stone Age, humans invented bows and arrows to hunt and fish. After a long time, the bow and arrow was one of the weapons used in the war. Now the bow and arrow exists as a favorite sport.
