Fun for ancient people
People always love having fun.
Even 5,000 years back, a Chinese painting on a pot showed people happily dancing hand in hand.
What else did they like Let’s see!
Cuju comes first. The game came from over 2,000 years ago! People at that time used a leather ball for this game. Even emperors loved this game.
Another game was weiqi. It’s a board game with black and white pieces. It’s over 4,000 years old.
Now, get ready for an icy trip through time! Ancient Chinese had their own winter sports— bingxi. During the Qing Dynasty, people had fun activities on ice, like speed skating and ice football. Just like our winter Olympics today. So, people in Ancient China had fun like we do today. Just remember how old this funis when you play these games.
冰嬉是明清时期最盛行的冬季娱乐活动，尤其在清代被列为宫廷大典。它包括冰上射箭、冰球（抢球）、速滑
（抢等）及花样滑冰等项目，常在太液池（今北海和中南海）举行，由皇帝亲临检阅，兼具军事训练功能。民间冰嬉则更贴近生活，如冰床（拖床）运动和简易冰上杂技。

而是因为停止玩耍而变老。
Yes. Many old people still feel youthful by doing guangchangwu, going travelling, or going to senior citizen’s college./ No. When people get old, they are not as strong as young people. It stops them from taking partin many activities.

《皮格马利翁》等。

思想开阔的/开明的
