The Korean ethnic group is a sports-loving nation. Springboards and swings are the most favorite traditional folk sports of Korean women, with a long history. According to literature, Korean swings originated in the 13th century at the latest. Legend has it that because women went to the fields to work, in order to give children a place to play at home, they tied two ropes on the horizontal frame of the gate for children to play. Later, it continued to develop into a popular sports activity. "The Biography of Cui Zhongxian in the History of Goryeo" records that "Zhongxian set up a swing game at the Bodong Palace on the Dragon Boat Festival and feasted civil and military officials of the fourth rank and above for three days." By the Joseon Dynasty, it had developed into a large-scale competition event. Springboards, like swings, have a long historical tradition. It is a full-body exercise game characterized by stepping and jumping that Korean women love. Women exercise their bodies through this activity. There are various legends about the origin of springboards. One of them is that women were restricted by feudal ethics and found it difficult to go out of the door, so they had to set up springboards at the base of the wall in the courtyard and jump into the air to watch the scenery outside the wall and broaden their horizons. In the past, Koreans in my country mainly swung on swings and jumped on springboards during the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Nowadays, during festivals and the off-season, people erected high swings or set up springboards on the threshing ground. Girls dressed in brightly colored skirts gathered around the swings or springboards to compete for height. This shows the beauty, kindness, strength and hardworking of Korean women. Swinging activities are characterized by being high, floating, leisurely, clever, soft and beautiful. Swinging generally involves single and double swings. During the competition, branches or flower branches were initially hung up as targets, and the winners were those who kicked them with their toes or held them in their mouths. Later, it developed into a competition of touching copper bells. That is, two three-pole poles were erected in front of the swing frame, a rope was tied between the poles, and a bell was hung in the middle of the rope, called a golden bell. It was about five meters above the ground to measure the height of the contestants' swings. Whoever touched the "golden bell" more times was the winner. Springboard is a traditional comprehensive female sport of the Korean ethnic group, which is mostly held during festivals such as the Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. With rhythmic stepping and jumping, Korean girls in colorful skirts gracefully perform various movements such as rotations and somersaults in the air. This is a traditional sports and entertainment activity that Korean women love. Springboard is similar to a seesaw. A long wooden board is supported by a wooden frame. Two people stand at both ends of the board and take turns jumping up. The gravity of one person after jumping up and falling down bounces the other person into the air. There are two ways to compete: "drawing the line" and "performance". "Drawing the line" is to place a ball of thread at each end of the seesaw, draw out the thread and tie it to the ankle of the contestant. The winner is determined by the length of the line drawn by the contestant when jumping within the specified time, and the height of the jump is measured. "Performance" has optional movements and prescribed movements, and the score is mainly based on the difficulty and posture of the contestant's jumping movements. The required events are to perform several required movements in combination; the optional events include performances with handheld fans, garlands, ribbons, etc., in which very graceful movements such as splits, body bends, ring drills, and rope skipping can be performed continuously. The Korean swing and springboard are unique forms of exercise for the Korean ethnic group, reflecting the Korean people's love of life, creativity, liveliness and generosity. They are representative forms of sports for the Korean ethnic group, and they are of great significance to enriching and improving the competitive forms of Chinese national sports. The Korean swing and springboard, a precious intangible cultural heritage project, was selected into the "First Batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage List" in 2006.
