Spindle, shuttlecock, hopscotch, jackstone, cockfight, slingshot, and swing are all folk games, and they can also be trendily termed "green games": cost free, maintenance free, pollution free and rubbish free. These Chinese folk sports have a time-honored history. Over the past several decades,
photographers and photography fans have shot a myriad of folk sports pictures which themselves have become non-material cultural heritage.

Rope skipping:Most Chinese people, for a long time, spent their childhoods in poverty. However, happiness was never absent.

"Chinese folk games are born free, unrestrained and independent. Inherently and closely connected with the masses' daily life, Chinese folk games are not confined to any specific forms, sites, number of attendees or organizational patterns. A long history, far-flung territory, and diverse
nationalities contribute to Chinese folk games' abundant varieties and multiple forms. Combining body movement and spiritual entertainment, Chinese folk games truly help people build up a " strong body and healthy mind", without direct pursuit of fame and gain", said Mr Hu Wugong, photographer and
organizer of the exhibition "Chinese Folk Sports".

Football: Since China’s reform and opening-up, a lot of "foreign games" have been introduced.
