The origin of horizontal bar movement can be traced back to all kinds of climbing, climbing, swinging and swinging movements carried out by primitive people in the jungle. At that time, it was just a practical skill in life, and later, with the evolution of society, it gradually became a means of exercising. After entering the feudal society, it was gradually combined with festivals offering sacrifices to gods. Among them, the Barbell Club and Barbell Room were non-governmental organizations, which were places for barbell training. Because the equipment at that time used a horizontal bar on two crossed wooden sticks, it was called "five sticks" by the people and was the prototype of modern horizontal bar equipment. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, there were three movements in the development of technology, namely, "upper handle" (handstand, big loop), "middle handle" (various knee-hanging, arm-hanging loop, turning) and "lower handle" (various horizontal hanging, upper method and lower method), which can be called the bud of modern horizontal bar movement. Etymologically, the word "gymnastics" is called gymnastics in Greek. This word means naked. According to legend, the ancient Greeks exercised naked. For a long time, people called all physical activities gymnastics. Until18th century, all physical activities were still called gymnastics in the book Juvenile Gymnastics published in Germany.
