The
Chinese invented golf?
The painting of Emperor
Xuande playing Golf in Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) appears to depict a game called
Chuiwan, which looks similar to modern-day golf. An ancient account of
the sport, written during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), stated the Chinese
were playing golf as early as the 10th century. It seems that the Chinese already took
on golf over one thousand years ago.
這幅繪畫，描述明朝皇帝明宣宗正在打中國古代的高爾球，當時稱作：捶丸。遊戲規則是運用10支不同的球杆（像是現代高爾夫球杆）敲擊地面的小白球，當時的球杆都鑲有黃金、玉、寶石的裝飾。目前最早出現捶丸的記載在中國南唐時期（西元943年），距今1000多年了。
