Until the mid Ming dynasty, Chuiwan was popularized and inherited to different extents among officials in palaces and civilians. Beginning from the late Ming dynasty, under the influence of its own characteristics and multiple social factors, Chuiwan with competitive characteristics gradually disappeared from people’s sight. However, according to the analysis of its unique movement characteristics and rules, ancient Chinese Chuiwan had a certain close relation with golf born in the west.
