The Origin and History of National Games

Origin: Traditional ethnic minority sports meetings generally refer to the traditional ethnic minority sports meetings of the Chinese people and the whole country. The sports meeting was developed on the basis of the national national sports performance and competition conference held in 1953. It is jointly sponsored by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission and the State sports administrative department, and is hosted by local authorities. It is held every four years.

history: in November, 1953, the national national sports performance and competition conference was held in Tianjin. After the national symposium on traditional sports of ethnic minorities held in September, 1981, the State Council approved that the national traditional sports of ethnic minorities should be hosted by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission and the former State Sports Commission, and hosted by local governments, and held once every four years.

At the same time, the national national sports performance and competition conference held in Tianjin in 1953 was designated as the first national traditional sports meeting of ethnic minorities.

in p>1986, the emblem, flag and logo were first used in the third national games, which marked the gradual normalization of the national games. This national sports meeting officially determined that the national sports meeting will be divided into two categories: competition and performance, with 7 competitions and 115 performances.

The 4th National Games not only added standardized and scientific events such as dragon boat race, but also formulated more scientific and systematic general rules, rules and regulations of competition events and evaluation methods of performance events, which made the National Games a big step towards the standardized track.

in August, 215, the 1th National Minority Traditional Sports Games was held in Erdos, Inner Mongolia, covering all ethnic autonomous regions such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet, as well as economically developed areas such as Beijing, Tianjin and Guangzhou.

From 5 competitions and 22 performances in 1953 to 13 competitions and 161 performances in 1999, and then to 17 competitions and 14 performances in 215. The ethnic groups participating in the ethnic minority games cover 55 ethnic minorities in China.

National Games-the link and bridge of national unity

If we say that in people's minds, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has been regarded as a distant and mysterious land because of its unique geographical location and climatic conditions for many years; Then, with the success of the Lhasa Sub-venue of the 6th National Traditional Minority Sports Games, the distance between Tibet and other parts of the motherland has been narrowed, and people's sense of closeness to Tibet has been further enhanced. This is an important achievement brought by the National Ethnic Games.

In the 5 years since the founding of New China, under the guidance of the Party's ethnic policy, ethnic minorities have been emancipated politically and developed rapidly economically. Together with their brothers and sisters of the Han nationality, they have worked together to build our socialist motherland.

The founding of the National Games has protected and carried forward the excellent history, culture and sports traditions of ethnic minorities, provided a stage for all ethnic groups to get in touch with the outside world and show themselves, and built a bridge of communication and understanding among all ethnic groups.

the second national traditional sports meeting of ethnic minorities held in Hohhot in p>1982 achieved the happy reunion of 56 ethnic groups in China for the first time. Since then, every four years, the National Minority Games have been held in turn in provinces and autonomous regions where ethnic minorities are concentrated.

The scale of the sports meeting is getting bigger and bigger, more and more athletes from all ethnic groups participate in competitions and performances, and the sports meeting itself is becoming more and more sound. It is particularly worth mentioning that this traditional national grand event has long gone beyond the scope of sports and has become an important channel for all ethnic groups to strengthen exchanges and contacts, learn from each other and make progress together. This role is irreplaceable by any other form.

The successful hosting of the Lhasa Sub-stadium of this National Games has also fully demonstrated the Tibetan people's love for the socialist motherland and their deep friendship with all brotherly nations. In order to be a good host, the Tibetan people have overcome all kinds of difficulties and fully provided all the facilities necessary for the sports meeting; The Tibetan mountaineering team collected the flame for the sports meeting from Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world.

Ode to Auspicious Auspicious, a large-scale song and dance at the opening ceremony, shows the profound connotation of Tibetan culture. During the Games, the Tibetan people warmly received representatives of all ethnic groups from all corners of the country and gave timely treatment to the guests who felt unwell due to altitude sickness.

All these fully prove that the Tibetan people are connected with the people of all ethnic groups in China, and Tibet is inseparable from the big family of the motherland. The touching scenes of brotherhood among all ethnic groups at the National Games are a powerful counterattack against the hostile forces in the West and the Dalai clique's attempts to engage in separatist activities.

after 47 years of hard work, the national traditional sports meeting of ethnic minorities has become an important part of people's lives and a link and bridge to strengthen national unity. Although the flame of the Lhasa Sub-stadium of the National Games was extinguished today, the flame of the National Games collected from Mount Everest will soon be passed to Beijing and into the new century. ?
