Why are there events such as cuju, gambling and gyro in minority sports?

Cuju, as its name implies, has the action of kicking, which means kicking. Cuju originated in Qing Dynasty, and it is an entertainment competition. Everyone knows that the Qing Dynasty was a dynasty of ethnic minorities, and it is normal for ethnic minorities to inherit the traditions of their predecessors. They improved it and carried it forward, so that the valuable wisdom of their predecessors could be circulated. Its competition forms are also various, such as single, double, team competition and so on.

Tug of war, also known as Tibetan tug of war, originated in Tibet and has a history of hundreds of years. Like Cuju, it has inherited the tradition of the predecessors of ethnic minorities and has also been carried forward and circulated. This is an entertainment tug-of-war. There are various forms, such as tug-of-war of waist strength in the main competition, hand competition of hand strength and so on.

Gyroscope originated very early and is a game suitable for all ages. There are also various kinds of competitions, such as spinning for longer than anyone else's top, or manipulating it to do various actions and so on. It is also an entertainment activity. In fact, the official gyro name only appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Naturally, it was also the minority dynasty at that time, and naturally it was also inherited and carried forward by minority compatriots.

In fact, not only ethnic minorities have these competitions, but we Han people also have related competition forms, but the names are not necessarily the same. Each ethnic group has its own deepest national tradition. These entertainment activities passed down are also a good spiritual wealth left by our predecessors. What we have to do is to keep the essence and carry it forward on the basis of predecessors. This also tells us that on the way forward, we always have to listen to our predecessors. After all, the guiding significance is very obvious and effective.
