Sports have existed since ancient times. What peculiar sports styles did the ancients in China have?

In our modern life, football is a very popular sport, as well as in ancient times. Playing football in ancient times was called kicking cuju, cuju. Cuju means kicking, kicking and kicking. Cuju is originally a ball wrapped in leather and filled with rice bran. Therefore, "Cuju" refers to the activities that the ancients kicked, kicked and kicked with their feet, similar to today's football. Therefore, it can be said that Cuju is a wonderful flower with a long history and great influence in ancient China. Now the national football team has not played the sport invented by our ancestors well. No wonder the Chinese people have been spitting.

Bowl blowing originated from the "stepping ball game" in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Cuju gradually evolved from an initial antagonistic competition to a non-antagonistic competition. The goal is cancelled, and the hole is used instead. If the ball enters the hole, one point is scored. The form of the competition has changed and the name has also changed. It's called "Blowing Pills". According to "Maruko Classic", pushing a bowl is to draw a ball base on an open space, make a certain number of nests seven to a hundred paces away from the ball base, insert colored flags next to it, and drive the ball into the nest from the ball base with a stick. The winner is the one with fewer sticks or more holes. It is very similar to modern golf in terms of venue, sporting goods, number of participants, competition mode and referee regulations.

Archery is one of the earliest activities of human beings. Before it became a sport, archery has long been one of the skills that human beings depend on for survival. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius believed that teachers should teach students to cultivate themselves by learning six arts. Confucius believes that "shooting" is not only a physical activity, but also a method of self-cultivation. But as an ancient archery competition, the rules of shooting ceremony are not quite the same as what we see today.

Polo is a mixed sport, which combines horse riding, golf and football. Polo is a sport that attaches great importance to teamwork and personal skills. The highest state is the integration of people, horses and poles! So that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty made a special imperial edict and took polo as one of the subjects of military training.
