This graceful folk art originated as a form of acrobatics, designed as entertainment. #Heritage #Inheritors | China Plus Culture

In a cuju match, the goalposts were usually situated in the center of the field and the two teams stood on either side of the goal. A two-foot-tall, so-called "eye" was placed in the middle of the goal. The objective was for the teams to kick the ball through the "eye" without it touching the ground. The team that managed this the most times in the ancient sport was declared the winner. #Heritage #Inheritors | China Plus Culture

Dani futbol 👑 on Instagram: "Legend ties ancient China's cuju (around 200 BCE) to the mythical Yellow Emperor, who reportedly invented it to train soldiers.
