Terracotta figurines reveal athletic culture in ancient China

A colored dancing figurine, from Eastern Han Dynasty, unearthed in 2000, housed in the Luoyang Museum. The figurine resembles the posture participants use in archery, an event that was listed as Olympic game in 1972. Actually, China has a long history in archery and archery contests.
