Download or read book Sport in Ancient Times written by Nigel B. Crowther and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively survey encompassing the Orient, the Americas, and the classical world From the Olympic Games of Greece to the gladiatorial contests of Rome, sport in the ancient world was fiercely competitive and included a wider range of physical contests than we moderns might suspect. The early Chinese played forms of polo and golf, while half a world away, Hohokam and Maya Indians enjoyed team ball games. Nigel Crowther, a leading authority on classical Greek sport, here casts his net over the entire ancient world to reveal the variety, and often the intensity, of sport in earlier times, from 3000 b.c.e. to the Middle Ages. Taking in twenty premodern societies on five continents--with particular emphasis on ancient Greece and Rome and the Byzantine Empire--he traces connections to modern sporting attitudes, practices, and institutions as he describes how athletics figured in cultural arenas that extended beyond physical prowess to ritual, social status, military associations, and politics. Crowther takes us back to the birth of sumo wrestling in Japan and describes the sports of the Sumerians and Hittites. He documents bull leaping and boxing as recorded on pottery in Crete, as well as running and archery as practiced by the pharaohs in Egypt. He shows the significance of the early Olympic Games, describes the Romans' use of gladiatorial contests for political ends, and analyzes the influence of Byzantine chariot racing on society. He also notes the changing role of women in ancient sports--from their prominence in Egyptian contests, to the mythological Atalanta, to female Roman gladiators. As informative as it is entertaining, Sport in Ancient Times opens new vistas for general readers, students, and sport historians. It offers a broad look at ancient sport and will enrich readers' appreciation of games they enjoy today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive, systematic and in-depth investigation of ancient Chinese sports of ethnic minorities. It is based on the key state-funded project 'Ancient Chinese Sports Projects' by an academic research team led by Jinxiang Bai, a prominent professor on sports history and minorities studies in China. From a historical perspective, this book applies the research methods of philology, archaeology, ethnology and folklore to cover 100 sports that are classified into nine categories, including ball skills, running jump shots, tactics, martial arts and health, riding, dancing, games, water, ice and snow, chess and cards. For each sport, it provides an in-depth description of its development, evolution, regulation, activity methods, forms, characters, memorabilia, scope of communication, cultural narrative and relevant forms of communication. This approach represents an extension of conventional studies on the sports of China's ethnic minorities, and provides a kaleidoscopic view on China's ethnic minorities as well as their sports and cultures.

Download or read book Christianity and the Transformation of Physical Education and Sport in China written by Huijie Zhang and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern physical education and sport in China are not products of indigenous Chinese culture. Traditional Chinese culture linked strenuous physical activities to low class and status. Modern Western PE and sport were introduced to China by Western Christian missionaries and directors of the Young Men’s Christian Association, and grew from a tool for Christian evangelism to an important tool for Chinese nation-building. This book examines this process of transformation of Chinese attitudes toward PE and sport, using the concepts of cultural imperialism and nationalism as a lens to understand how a Western cultural import became a modernization tool for the Chinese state.
