A Brief Discussion on the Development of Equestrianism in China
Equestrianism originated from the productive labor activities of primitive humans. As early as 680 BC, chariot races were included in the ancient Olympic Games. China also has a long history of equestrianism, which flourished during the Zhou Dynasty and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty. Modern equestrian sports originated in Europe. In ancient times, to ensure the precise movement of warhorses used in chariots on the battlefield, horses were often trained in various skills and coordination exercises, which later evolved into equestrian competitions. China’s horse culture, traced back to ancient times, can be linked as far as the era of Genghis Khan, or even as recent as children’s games of horseback battles. But why has equestrianism in our country developed so slowly? Let’s take it step by step along the timeline.
