Features: "Cultural Relics and Sports" recreates the emergence and development of ancient Chinese sports through archaeological artifacts and literary records. Ancient Chinese sports activities were influenced by the era and environment. The political systems, economic life, education, military, scientific and technological advancements, as well as literary and artistic expressions of different historical periods were closely connected to them, and they developed synchronously on a cultural level. While this book narrates the characteristics of ancient Chinese sports, it also strives to interpret their cultural connotations.
