Pearl ball project batch: Provincial first batch of projects Protection unit: Wuchang City Cultural Center Representative inheritor: Lang Guoxing Pearl ball is one of the traditional sports of the Manchu nationality and an important part of the Jingqi culture. It is distributed in Lalin Town, Wuchang City and surrounding towns. During the Ming Dynasty, young Manchu men and women compared "embroidered balls" to large pearls and competed to throw them into fish baskets on land. Those who hit the target predicted that more pearls could be collected. Later, it gradually formed a national ball game with both offensive and defensive capabilities. When the Qing army entered the pass in 1644, it was brought to the capital for the children of the Eight Banners to play. Pearl ball has distinct national characteristics and has been identified by the state as an important event in the ethnic minority games. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
