Features: This book provides a comprehensive explanation of the characteristics and functions of Hakka sports, introducing the categories and activities of Hakka sports. The language throughout is simple and straightforward, accompanied by illustrations, offering readers valuable knowledge. In my opinion, it serves as both a popular reading material and an excellent sports textbook, while also being a valuable reference book for Hakka culture research. The book consists of eight chapters. The first chapter primarily discusses the origin, evolution, and spread of Hakka sports, the characteristics and functions of Hakka sports, the relationship between Hakka sports and ethnic sports, as well as their important role in promoting nationwide fitness and improving national physical fitness. Chapters two to eight collect and organize a large number of unique Hakka sports activities with strong local characteristics. Based on this, in conjunction with the sports facilities and equipment conditions of schools at various levels, more than 150 convenient, easy-to-implement, highly practical, novel, and easily (popularized) Hakka sports games have been created in a form of illustrations and text.
