After the Battle of Fuli, the Jin army invaded the Song Dynasty. The Jin Dynasty was unable to invade the south, and the Southern Song Dynasty was in a corner. The imperial power was not interested in the northern expedition, which formed a war-free demarcation line from Luzhou (now Hefei) in the south to Fuliji in the north. The two sides of the Huaihe River also achieved a relatively stable and peaceful period for decades and became a center of communication. The trade activities, personnel exchanges and cultural exchanges between the north and the south brought a period of relative economic and cultural prosperity to the Huaihe River area. In the trade and cultural exchange activities, the northern nomadic people brought their best wrestling to the people along the Huaihe River. In the integration with the local culture of the Huaihe River, the artists along the Huaihe River have been processed and polished, and the sport of wrestling has gradually evolved into a "prop solo dance", which is humorous, funny and joyful. So far, the generals' wrestling has been left in the Huaihe River Basin and integrated into the series of performances of Huagu Lantern, which has been loved by the people along the Huaihe River. In different regions, the generals' wrestling has different names, such as the two-immortal wrestling in Jinzhai, Lingbi, Bozhou, Woyang, etc.; and the two-ghost wrestling in Huaibei, Suixi, etc.
