Grabbing Galaha is an ancient game of Manchu, Mongolian, Daur and Xibe. This name is a transliteration of Manchu. In the Qing Dynasty, China officially wrote "back bone", which originally meant an independent bone at the knee of the hind leg and the joint between the leg bone and the tibia. According to archaeological excavations, as early as the Jin Dynasty, nuzhen nobles often played this game.

It was first made of deer hooves and bones, roe deer, roe deer and minced meat. It was thrown to the ground. After landing, it is divided into upside down, upside down, horizontal hanging, and horizontal hanging. Betting with pigs and sheep is mostly a game between men. /kloc-At the beginning of the 7th century, after the Qing Dynasty made Shenyang its capital, catching Galahad gradually evolved into a game for women and children. According to Manchu customs, girls are not allowed to do needlework in the first month, and the first month in the northeast is not suitable for outdoor activities, so this indoor game is revived among girls. With the migration and integration of various ethnic groups, Galaha gradually spread among the people in northern China. In the process of spreading, this game has experienced some variations suitable for popularization, and it is called "catching children".
