What kind of sport was polo in ancient China?

Speaking of playing polo, I don't know how much you know about this sport. Bian Xiao first heard that this sport was heard in those ancient costume TV dramas, and it was very interesting at that time. Actually, playing polo is an immediate sport. In the process of riding a horse, you can hit the ball with a polo club and then hit the ball into the prescribed door. You can compete for the ball in the process of playing, so it can be a competitive sport. Next, Bian Xiao will give you a short report.

First of all, do you know when Poirot came? At the beginning, it was not called polo, but called Cuju, which was kicked with feet. Cuju was invented in Han Dynasty and flourished in Tang and Song Dynasties, but we are not particularly clear about which dynasty it came from, but we found from various materials that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Zhi's "famous name" was "even riding and playing"

Secondly, although there is no exact statement about the origin of polo in the world, according to China's literature, polo has spread from China to the present, not from other countries. Then on June 7th, 2008, polo was approved by the State Council to be included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. Polo uses a ball the size of a fist. It is made of light and tough wood, hollow in the middle, and then painted in various colors. It is just a delicate polo with some carvings on it, so it is also called "colorful ball" and "seven treasures ball".

Finally, in the13rd century, polo also spread from China to India, and from India to Britain, where it became popular. 1875, the first polo rules in Britain were formulated, and the Indian Polo Association was also announced. In this way, polo developed step by step.

The above is only Bian Xiao's personal opinion. Please forgive me if there is any mistake.
