China Wushu: China Wushu has a long history and many kinds. It can be traced back to the primitive stone age. This is the skill of fighting with wild animals.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Central Plains wrestling accepted some characteristics of ethnic wrestling and formed a new form of wrestling-sumo wrestling.

Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, wrestling has become more and more extensive and competitions have become more and more frequent. The Lantern Festival was mainly held in the first month of the Sui Dynasty 15. In the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the Lantern Festival, there were autumn competitions, which were held in the Central Plains Festival (summer calendar 15 July). Wrestling in the Song Dynasty is called "competition", and the winner can get prizes and even official positions.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, skipping was further developed. There is a custom of skipping rope in Beijing Lantern Festival.
