Most people around the world love sports. In fact, there were also many kinds of sports in ancient China. Let's go back to ancient times to watch the ancient sports!
Ice frolicking (冰嬉)
Ice frolicking was a term for many ice activities. It started in the Song Dynasty and reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty. It took place mostly in the north of China during winter. If one was good at it, he would be chosen to perform in the palace for the emperor and his family.
Fangzou (方走)
In the Yuan Dynasty, a long distance race called fangzou was held once a year. It was 600 years before the first modern Olympic Games. Like today's popular city marathon (马拉松) in the world, fangzou was also held between the two capital cities of the Yuan Dynasty at that time. It was almost as far as two marathons.
Cuju (蹴鞠)
Nowadays, football is popular all over the world. In 2004, FIFA (国际足联) announced that cuju was the world's earliest form of football. In Chinese "cu" means kicking, and "ju" means a leather ball. In the Qing Dynasty, cuju was one of the most popular activities during festivals. It was later introduced to Europe. In the 19th century, the British set up a set of rules and the modern football game was born.
With the passing of time, the rules and names of sports events have been very different, but people's love for sports has remained the same.
