Speaking of gymnastics, as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a kind of "leverage" among the people in China, which was very similar to modern instrumental gymnastics. Ancient gymnastics in China can be divided into two categories: one is gymnastics for strengthening the body and preventing diseases. Among them, the most representative is the "guided fitness" in the famous ancient pharmaceutical work Neijing. The guide map unearthed in archaeology has a history of more than 2 100 years, which is not only early, but also rich in content. The other exists in ancient music and dance, acrobatics, drama and folk sports. 1840 post-modern gymnastics was introduced to China after the Opium War. Gymnastics was very backward at that time, and there was no mass gymnastics. Gymnastics was set in the educational curriculum standards of reformists in the late Qing Dynasty and bourgeois reformers in the Republic of China, which can be said to be the predecessor of today's school physical education class. After the founding of New China, in order to develop sports and enhance people's physique, China announced the first set of broadcast gymnastics in 195 1. Every morning when the horn sounded, millions of people practiced with the music. Broadcast gymnastics is a kind of fitness gymnastics. So far, China has published nine sets of broadcast gymnastics. It is still an important way of national fitness in China, and it is also the memories of youth of China people from generation to generation. Gymnastics has formed a fairly broad mass base in China.

Now, gymnastics has developed rapidly in China, and it has become one of the main events to win gold medals. In 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China won 14 gold medals and 9 gymnastics gold medals. 20 12 London Olympic Games, China won four gold medals and three silver medals. Among them, the China women's gymnastics team won the women's gymnastics team gold medal for the first time. Rhythmic gymnastics is a new sport introduced to China in 1970s. With its unique charm, it was widely developed in various sports colleges in the 1980s. With the development of society, this sport has had a great influence in China. Trampoline started late in China and was not introduced to China until 1997. At present, qualified provinces and cities in China have set up their own teams, attracting athletes in gymnastics, diving and skills. The National Gymnastics Management Center established a national trampoline training base in Tianjin, bringing Tianjin, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Guangdong, Fujian,

Chongqing is listed as the national trampoline 10 key layout unit. At present, there are three events in Olympic gymnastics: competitive gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics and trampoline. Competitive gymnastics is divided into male gymnastics and female gymnastics. Men's competitive gymnastics events include floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar. Women's competitive gymnastics events include vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. China Gymnastics Team has always been the winner of Olympic gold medals, and China Gymnastics Team has created the history of six consecutive championships in the World Championships. In 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China Gymnastics Team won 9 gold medals in 14 gymnastics events, becoming the team with the most gold medals in the history of China Olympic Games. In the middle and late 1970s, Qingdao established a professional gymnastics team. Bi Yanyan, the first full-time gymnastics coach after the founding of New China, organized and recruited a group of athletes.

Practice systematically. It was not until 1972 that Gao Yiying, the fourth full-time gymnastics coach, returned to China from the provincial team to teach, and amateur training was even more powerful. In order to welcome the provincial games, people who have been engaged in gymnastics training, such as Feng Qichang, Wang Yongfa and Chu Qitai, were mobilized as coaches, and the athletes were grouped. In the gymnastics competition of the 10th Provincial Games from 65438 to 0974, he won three team champions in four age groups and nearly 80% individual gold medals in this gymnastics competition. Gymnastics in Qingdao was once interrupted during the Cultural Revolution, and now amateur training is resumed.
