Imagine if the Olympics existed in ancient times!
These green-glazed pottery figurines perfectly capture the essence of Song Dynasty (960-1279) wrestling. Two children, naked and barefooted, with their hair tied in topknots and waistbands fastened, are locked in a fierce stance. Beads of sweat are seen on their backs as they refuse to give in, each determined to win the "gold medal".
Doesn't it remind you of modern Olympic judo?
As the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games approach, let's use this artifact as a bridge to countdown together and celebrate this grand sporting event!
