It has been lasted for a long time because of several reasons, for strengthening body or mental, educating, for fun, even gambling.200 000 years ago. As you known, it is childhood in human history. In the first place, it is necessary that the primitive person to make his living. He had to be strong. Doing this the man got experienced in obtaining skills. It is important for his existence in hard living conditions.
Sports in Chinese history:Ancient Chinese sports–martial arts,The origins of these sports are not recorded in any history book, but it was original from ancient time also known as Kong Fu, about the 5th century AD. At many times in Chinese history, weapons were banned from society, and only in this way could a man protect himself and his family. Also, martial art was used to training soldiers.

51.Chinese Football
China Football in Asian Games：
Guangzhou Asian Games, the largest ever Asian Games lowered its curtain in a festive Closing Ceremony on Saturday night. China, which won 199 gold medals ,119 silvers and 98 bronzes, topped the table for the eighth straight time, smashing its best gold tally of 183, set in the 1990 Beijing Asian Games. This achievement let people feel proud, but Chinese Football’s performance is frustrating .
Chinese Football History：The national team began to make their way to national and international prominence in the beginning of the late-1980s through the introduction of televisions in Chinese households.During the 1998 World Cup qualifiers, China was on the verge of qualifying, but lost crucial matches at home, especially the matches against Qatar and Iran.
Under the direction of head coach Bora Milutinovic, the team had lost all three group matches and failed to score a single goal.
The Whole Nation System:The authorities only care about the best kids .There's a very elite focus so the base of their pyramid is too narrow.Chinese sports authorities are more interested in topping the Olympic medal table precisely because it can build success by hard work and intensive training . As long as China thinks there is a path to international football success that involves a higher work-rate and more foreign coaches, as opposed to more players with better skill, it will continue to underachieve in the world's favourite sport.Corruption and Football Gambling：
If match-fixing and gambling remain rampant as now, Chinese soccer will be dead.The roots must be pulled up along with the grass.All gambling is illegal in China, and the dragnet has so far caught a number of former top players and officials who are suspected of "manipulating domestic soccer matches through commercial bribery".That is all what I want to say about chinese football,and I hope chinese football will be better and donot let us down one day！

As the supreme point of the world, Mt. Everest is also blessed with many extreme wonders. The top part of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round. When the glaring sun shines on the mountain, the peak is just like a white pyramid miraculously transformed by the Goddess, leading us to imagine her semblance further.
An additional wonder generated here are the bright glaciers, where ices are formed into various shapes like bridges, pagodas and others. You can also find miles of efflorescent rock physiognomy there, such as stalagmites, stelae, stone sword, and stone pagodas. The climbing pathfinders call this splendor at such high attitude 'the Largest Park on the High Mountain'.

There is a clear need for understanding the nature of the sports economy and its value to the economy as a whole. Sport has been a major source of revenue for the economy of several countries, and the sports economy that supports sustainable development. A unique aspect is that the contribution of the sports to the economy does not depend on the geographical
The economic instrumentalization of sport leads to a new identity and interdependence of athletes, reporters, promoters, sponsors and the media.
