The development of shuttlecock
Shuttlecock kicking was further developed in this period. Dong Liu, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty and a famous essayist in the history of China, wrote in "A Brief View of the Imperial Capital": "The willow is green and empty, and the willow kicks the shuttlecock and dies." It can be seen that kicking shuttlecock has become the content of folk proverbs and developed into a skill sport for several people to kick together. Shuttlecock kicking reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty, and more and more people took part in it, not only to exercise and strengthen the body, but also to combine it with calligraphy and painting, playing chess, flying kites, raising flowers and birds, and singing Huang Er.
Therefore, shuttlecock kicking activities are more extensive, especially for young participants. At that time, there was such a nursery rhyme: "A shuttlecock, kicked in half, played a flower drum, wrapped a flower thread, kicked inside and turned outside, and the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, 99, 100." It shows that kicking shuttlecock has reached a quite popular level. China folk shuttlecock lovers practiced hard and passed it down from generation to generation.
