Flower Slip in Historical Materials: Ming Dynasty entered Korea, and Qing Dynasty named it "national custom".

According to historical records, "Ice Opera", also known as "Ice Opera", was recorded as early as the Song Dynasty. "Military drama" entered the court in the Ming Dynasty and reached its peak in the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty. Bing Fu, a famous painting in Qing Dynasty, once described skaters' postures similar to those of figure skating today, such as being a big scorpion, being a golden rooster and exploring the sea in Nezha. Even the popular costume TV series "Harem True Wisdom" has a similar "ice play" scene. It can be seen that the Qing Dynasty was the "golden age" of figure skating in ancient China.

Nuerhachi's skating troops talked about "ice play", which was an ice entertainment that the Emperor of Song Dynasty liked and was keen on. Song Shi? "Book of Rites" records: "There is an ice show while watching flowers".

In the Ming Dynasty, skating was listed as a court sport. According to Yi Qing Ge Miscellaneous Notes, rich children play a kind of "ice bed" on the ice surface of Beijing Jishuitan, connecting more than a dozen beds together, putting wine on them and driving away the cold while drinking. However, before the Qing Dynasty, ice sports were not popular, and their forms were relatively simple, except for some ethnic minority areas in the north.

The reason why the Qing Dynasty became the "golden age" of figure skating in ancient China was closely related to the customs and habits of Manchu, the ruler.

Because they live in today's northeast region, influenced by natural conditions, skating has become their necessary skill. Nurhachi himself is a famous skater. He made full use of this in the war, unified the ministries of Jurchen, and organized a force with strong mobility and good at skating (similar to the concept of "special forces" today). Historically, the Feiguile Army, which is famous for skating in Nurhachi, once completed the classic battle of "Howard Duck" when Mo Ergen City was besieged by Mongolian Balhute tribe.

After the Qing soldiers entered the customs, they also brought the custom of "skating" into the pass, and early skating became the content of military training. Every year when the frozen lake is very solid, the Qing Emperor will come to Beihai or Zhongnanhai in Beijing to review the Eight Banners skating of the Qing army.

According to records, the Qing army began to prepare for war every year in June+10, 5438. After heavy selection, the flags, forward commanders and guard commanders selected 200 skaters, and a total of 2,000 people participated in the review. The Ministry of Internal Affairs provided skates and clothes, including speed skating and flower skating. After the whole review, according to the quality of the contestants, silver prizes will be given in order.

Vividly presented to people: the athletes on the ice have different postures and unique skills, and they form a dragon, which is very spectacular.

At that time, figure skating included Big Scorpion, Golden Rooster Independence, Nezha Sea Exploration, Flying Swallow, Thousand-B Fall and so on. Acrobatics includes archery, pole climbing, flipping barbells, flying forks, playing with knives, making sticks and scraping banners. , and perform handstands or flag-raising on poles, bars, shoulders and arms.

Aisingiorro？ Bao Ting described the skating skills at that time in My Zhai Cao Shi: "Iron is like ice on the back of a sword, like stepping on a sword to sharpen a mirror. As straight as a vector disease, the sword and spine mirror scrape. If the left foot doesn't live, the right foot enters, that is, the front heel meets the back. Sometimes, I deliberately stand by, I am arrogant. It is the night when Luo Xian flies, and the wind and Hu can resist waves and ling. "

In Qing Dynasty, skates were divided into single skates and double skates. Since the Qing Dynasty, skating equipment has also been greatly improved. From the beginning, skates were mostly made from the tibia of horses, and gradually wooden skates and iron-inlaid wooden skates appeared. In the late Qing Dynasty, China's skates were upgraded to iron. At the same time, there are two different types of skates: single skates and double skates.

Double skates are relatively stable and suitable for beginners to practice. Different from the current skates, the skates in Qing Dynasty are all short. Some shoes have no skates under their heels, so they can touch the ice with their heels to stop skating or change the direction of skating when necessary.

With the progress of equipment manufacturing technology, this sport has developed rapidly among the people. In some folk festivals, such as dragon dance, lion dance, roller boating and so on. They have also been moved to the ice and carried out in sliding, which has a unique charm.

Aisingiorro？ Bao Ting's "I Zhai Cao Shi" once recorded: "The north wind rolls the river and freezes, and the new ice is as flat as a rock. Who dares to play ice in cold weather ... every year! The brushstroke generation is called Perch Quanting, and skaters in the suburbs also like this sport. In addition, in Beijing Zhuzhi Ci, there is a poem describing a beginner's skating fall: "If the wind walks on the ice, the steel bar maker at the bottom of his foot smiles before falling, with his head south and his feet north, his hands west and his hands east." "Although the language is ridiculous, it reflects the enthusiasm of people to learn skating at that time.
