Which traditional sport is a national non-heritage

Polo is a national non-heritage program.

Polo, as a traditional sport, not only reflects the ancient horse-riding skills, but also integrates exquisite equestrian and athletic skills. It is one of the representatives of national intangible cultural heritage, carrying a rich historical heritage and cultural connotation.

Polo is a typical representative of national intangible cultural heritage, which combines a variety of skills and traditional cultural elements, such as horsemanship, competitive spirit and military strategy. In a polo match, the rider needs to skillfully control the horse while competing for the ball and scoring goals. This requires a high level of equestrian skill and excellent collaboration, making polo a challenging and spectator sport.

In addition, polo has a long history in China, dating back to the Tang Dynasty in the 7th century AD. It was once an important skill for ancient armies, not only helping to improve the combat skills of cavalrymen, but also becoming a recreational activity. Today, polo has developed into a professional sport and is popular in both domestic and international competitions.
