Nadam convention is a traditional activity with distinctive national characteristics of Mongolian people in China, and it is also a traditional sports activity form that Mongolian people like to see and hear.

"Wood" is a transliteration of Mongolian, which means "entertainment and games" to express the joy of harvest. Nadam, which began on the fourth day of the sixth lunar month (mostly in July and August of the solar calendar, with blue flowers and red grass and fat sheep in Ma Zhuang), is an annual traditional grand event on the grassland.

The predecessor of Nadam is Mongolian "Sacrifice to Aobao", which is a unique national competitive, entertainment and sports event created and handed down by Mongolian people in their long-term nomadic life.

Nadam has a long history. According to the inscription of Genghis Khan carved on the cliff, Nadam originated in the early days of the establishment of the Mongolian khanate. As early as A.D. 1206, when Genghis Khan was elected as the Great Khan of Mongolia, he held a big party in July and August every year to gather tribal leaders and hold Nadam to show unity and friendship and pray for a bumper harvest. At first, only archery, horse racing or wrestling were held. In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, archery, horse racing and wrestling became a fixed form. Later, the Mongols also called these three sports Nadam.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Nadam was widely spread in Mongolian grassland and gradually became a military movement. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty stipulated that Mongolian men must have three basic skills: wrestling, horseback riding and archery. In the Qing Dynasty, Nadam gradually became an organized and purposeful entertainment activity convened by the government on a regular basis, which was held every six months, one year or three years in units of townships, flags and leagues. This custom has been inherited to this day, and the Mongolian people hold the Nadam convention every year.

In the past, during the Nadam Conference, there were large-scale sacrificial activities, and lamas had to burn incense and light lamps, recite scriptures and praise Buddha, and pray for the blessing of the gods to eliminate disasters. At present, the Nadam Convention mainly includes wrestling, horse racing, archery, saburo, horse riding, playing Mongolian chess and other traditional national events. Some places have sports competitions such as track and field, tug-of-war, volleyball and basketball. In addition, there are wonderful performances such as martial arts, polo, horseback riding, archery, horse splitting, Atletico walking, riding skills and motorcycles at the Nadam Conference. Horses participating in the Atletico Walking Race must undergo special training. They can't leave the ground on all fours at the same time They can only walk fast, but they can't run fast. As night falls, the melodious and passionate voice of Ma Touqin is floating on the grassland, young men and women are singing and dancing by the bonfire, and people are immersed in the joy of the festival.
