Popular sports in the Song Dynasty ③ Chuiwan
宋潮豫见亚运会 ③ 捶丸
捶丸由唐代的步打球发展而来。由于宋徽宗的喜爱,该运动在宋朝发展到顶峰。其规则类似于高尔夫运动,人们以球杖击球入穴。
Chuiwan was a game in ancient China. Its rules resemble modern golf. People hit the ball with a stick and hit it into the hole. It developed from a sport similar to hockey in the Tang Dynasty. The popularity of chuiwan peaked in the Song dynasty, during which time Emperor Huizong is reported to have been a dedicated player.
