Features: Human gaming activities can be traced back to ancient times. According to the research based on existing historical records, a widely held view both domestically and internationally is that it originated from ancient people living along rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans. For survival, they lived near mountains and water. To catch birds, fish, shrimp, and aquatic plants for food, people had to engage in water-based activities.
