① The 24th Winter Olympic Games took place in Beijing, but the city was no stranger to competitive (竞技性的) sports on snow and ice.
② In fact, competitive winter sports were already popular in China a thousand years ago in the form of bingxi(playing on ice). Bingxi began in the Song Dynasty and became really popular during the Qing Dynasty. Emperor (皇帝) Qianlong hosted bingxi nearly every year. He had the first one in 1742, almost two hundred years before the first Winter Olympic Games.
③ Many ancient painters painted pictures about the events of bingxi. Bingxi paintings show scenes (场景) of bingxi during the Qing Dynasty.
④ In bingxi, there are three kinds of ice skating. The first one is the speed race which is similar to modern speed skating. Participants (参赛者) skate to the emperor's ice bed, from two to three kilometres away. In the painting, the emperor sits inside his ice bed. Whoever reaches the emperor first wins first prize. The second is figure skating. Jumps, spins (旋转) and pair work moves in modern figure skating can all be found in the painting. The third is soccer on ice. Participants in two teams skate, kick and try to score goals.
⑤ The love for winter sports never diminished in China. People in the past showed great interest in winter sports and today more and more people take part in this kind of sport.
