Jianzi

Traditional Chinese national sport

Jianzi (Chinese: 毽子; pinyin: jiànzi) is a traditional Chinese sport in which players aim to keep a heavily weighted shuttlecock in the air using their bodies apart from the hands, unlike in similar games such as peteca and indiaca. The primary origin of jianzi is an ancient Chinese game called cuju, from the Han dynasty (202 BC – 9 AD, 25–220 AD). Jianzi is played on a badminton court using inner or outer lines in different competition settings.
