Jiangsu Quanmeirui Bowling Products Co., Ltd. Bowling, also known as bocce, is an indoor sport in which bowling balls are played on a boardwalk and hit the goalposts. Here are the basics about bowling that I’ve put together for you. Welcome to read! The origin of bowling: Bowling is entertaining, interesting, challenging and skillful, and gives people physical and mental exercise. Because it is an indoor activity, it is not affected by external conditions such as time and climate, nor is it restricted by age. It is simple to learn and easy to play, making it a sport suitable for both men and women of all ages. It has become a fashionable movement in modern society and is popular in some countries in Europe, America, Oceania and Asia. The origins of bowling may be traced back to 5200 BC in ancient Egypt, where marble balls and bottles similar to modern bowling balls were found. Bowling first began in Germany in the 3rd to 4th centuries AD. At first, Catholics placed wooden pillars in church corridors and smashed them with rocks. They believe that knocking down the wooden pillars can atone for sins and eliminate disasters; if you miss it, you should believe in "God" more devoutly. In the German church in the 13th century, a game of "nine-pin ball" was popular to test the religious beliefs of believers. It was not until after the Religious Revolution that Martin Luther unified the nine-pin system that it became the true origin of modern bowling. In the early 14th century, it gradually evolved into a popular sport in Germany. Later, descendants of the Dutch and Germans immigrated to the United States, and bowling was introduced to the United States. In the 16th century it was a nine-pin game. A few years later it evolved into 10 wooden bottles, and the shape of the bottles changed from a rhombus to a triangle. In 1895, the American Bowling Association was established. In 1951, the International Bowling Federation was established. In 1954, the first international bowling competition was held in Helsinki, Finland. Bowling was listed as a performance event at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Basic knowledge of bowling: Bowling, originally called nine-pin bowling, is also called bocce ball. It originated in Germany and the Netherlands four centuries ago. At first it was just a religious ceremony, usually in the hall or corridor of the church. The upright pillar represents evil, while the ball represents justice. Believers hit the balls against the pillars in the hope of good luck. By the 13th century, the British began bowling on the lawn. The target was just a stake or a cone. As the activity flourished in the 14th century, the number of targets increased from one to nine pillars. At that time, Emperor Edward III was afraid that this activity would hinder the development of archery, so he issued a ban. Over time, bowling became popular in underground private bars in the form of gambling. In the 16th century, Dutch immigrants brought ninepin to the United States. Due to its entertaining, challenging and interesting characteristics, it was quickly accepted by Americans and gradually moved from outdoor to indoor. In the 19th century, ninepins was banned for gambling reasons. Later, with the careful arrangement of some people, one column was added to the original nine columns, and the rhombus arrangement was changed to a triangular arrangement, giving it a completely new look, thus cleverly avoiding the restrictions of the ban and allowing it to survive. By the mid-19th century, this activity had developed significantly. For the first time, the ten-pin ball game was called the Bowling Salon. After that, bowling flourished and it became an elegant place. It then became popular in the United States, Europe, Australia and Asia. At that time, the rules of bowling were not perfect. The shapes and sizes of balls and targets were different, and the distance between lanes also varied depending on the length of the bowling room, which hindered the communication and development of bowling. In 1875, 27 representatives from nine bowling clubs in New York and Brooklyn formed the first bowling association. Although it was a short-lived organization, it made useful contributions in the history of bowling. Because they determine two important things: first, they dictate the length of the bowling lane; second, they determine the size of the posts. Since then, various types of bowling balls have been unified, laying a good foundation for future exchanges and development. In September 1995, the Bowling Association was officially established in New York, USA. In 1916, the International Women's Bowling Association was established, followed by the Youth Bowling Association, thus opening a new chapter in bowling. However, the history of bowling goes back much further. According to legend, some tribes in ancient times often used the skulls of conquered peoples as balls and the leg bones as targets for fun. Around 5200 BC, nine shapes of stones and stone balls were found in the tombs of Egyptian children. Archaeologists also discovered that ancient Peruvians also used stones as balls and targets in their throwing games. Even more interesting is that the distance between the ball and the target was 60 feet, almost the same length as a bowling alley today.

The great Chinese nation has a splendid culture and a long history. However, bowling's development only lasted a few years. Three years ago, we learned about bowling through foreign movies and television. In fact, in the past, such a game has long been popular in the rural areas of Jiangnan in China: shepherds tied the cut grass into small bundles and erected them on the lawn to mark the land as territory. They started with guessing games, hitting them with pebbles, and the winner got grass to feed the cows. Around 1925, British and French colonists built artificial bowling alleys at the French Federation in Shanghai and the Country Club in Tianjin. At that time, this event was called "high-end entertainment" and was reserved for foreigners and "outstanding Chinese". Ordinary people have no destiny. After liberation, some people lacked awareness of bowling as an entertainment activity and always thought it was a bourgeois entertainment activity, so most of the courts were demolished. In the end, only Shanghai Jinjiang Club (formerly French Federation) No. 6, Shanghai Sports Club No. 4, and Tianjin Veterans Club (British Country Club) No. 4 were left. After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, under the new situation of opening up to the outside world and revitalizing the economy internally, Shanghai Jinjiang Hotel cooperated with the American AMF Company to build six bowling lanes equipped with automatic equipment at the Jinjiang Club in December 1981. , becoming the first in China. At present, bowling alleys are built in Shanghai, Beijing, Qinhuangdao, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Shenzhen, Foshan, Fuzhou and other places, with a total of more than 100 lanes. The largest one is Beijing Lido Hotel, with 24 articles. From March 1 to 3, 1985, the State Sports Commission held the first National Bowling Invitational Tournament at the Palace of Nationalities and Culture in Beijing. At that time, there were only more than 10 amateur players from Shanghai, Beijing, and Tianjin participating. Lin Shengnan and Pan Guohua, who missed the Shanghai team, won the championship and runner-up respectively. In order to improve my country's bowling skills as soon as possible, the National Sports Commission held a refresher course in Beijing from May 30 to June 13, 1985, and invited four outstanding Singaporean coaches including Chen Yushu and Tan Jianling to teach. In August of the same year, the National Invitational Tournament was held in Zhuhai. From May 28 to 31, 1986, the first national "Ichthyosaurus Cup" championship was held in Shanghai. On July 2, a delegation from the Chinese Bowling Association visited Japan. As we all know, the bowling competition in the 10th Asian Games had 12 gold medals, 12 silver medals and 12 bronze medals. Many people deeply regret that our country did not send athletes to participate in this event. Due to its late start and limited facilities, bowling has been difficult to popularize in China in recent years. Therefore, compared with the Asian powers, there is naturally a big gap. Although this distance is not too long, it requires hard work and strength. The National Sports Commission organized a national bowling training in Shanghai from October 13 to November 30, 1986. At the same time, Mr. Tomoyi Lin, the national team coach of the Japan Bowling Association, was invited to provide guidance. Then, the National Elite Competition will be held in Shenzhen from December 2nd to 6th. After research and decision by the National Sports Commission, bowling was listed as a performance event in the Sixth National Games in 1987. What is the current state of bowling in the world? As far as the United States and Japan are concerned, the United States Bowling Association has approximately 10 million members, of which 38% are junior members, 33% are male members, and 29% are junior members. There are more than 9,000 bowling centers in China, and about 13 million people participate in activities every week. On average, 3 out of 5 people are amateur bowlers, which is better than baseball, football, golf, and tennis. Japan had bocce balls as early as 1861. In 1952, there were three sets of manual bowling equipment in Tokyo. The Japan Bowling Association was established in 1967 and joined FIBA ??in 1983. A few years ago, there was a popular saying in Japan: "Play from the age of 8 to the age of 80." 75.4 million people participate in bowling every year. The total area of ??bowling alleys in China exceeds 2.83 million square meters. More than 140 universities and junior high schools include bowling as a physical education course, and courts with 30 to 60 lanes are also quite common in big cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Yokohama. JPBC has members across the country, with bowling teams in every county. Fukuyama Bowling Alley in Osaka has 144 lanes and is one of the largest bowling alleys in the world.
