People in ancient China worked long hours each day. To relax,they invented many games. Here are some of them.
Chuíwán was one of the ball games in ancient China,which was very popular in the Song dynasty. “Chuí” means “hit” and “wán” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field,the players were divided into two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to hit the ball into holes with a stick. Only when three hits into the hole were achieved did the player win the point.
First recorded 2,000 years ago,cuju is known as the earliest form of football. The ball was made of leather(皮革) on the outside and filled with rice bran(米糠) inside.

Only feet and head could be used. The ball should be hit into the opposite goal.
