🏹⚔️ Ready to channel your inner ancient warrior? Chengdu's iconic Wuhou Temple – a tribute to legendary Shu Kingdom strategist Zhuge Liang – is hosting a Three Kingdoms Sports Festival, blending history with hands-on fun!
Forget the gym: visitors can try archery, stone-lifting, and other 2,000-year-old 'six arts' disciplines that shaped China's scholars and heroes. 🌟 'It's like stepping into a Dynasty Warriors game, but way more authentic,' said CGTN reporter Guo Tianqi, who tested her skills live on-site.
Why now? Physical training has been central to Chinese education since Confucian times. The festival revives traditions like horseback riding (okay, maybe wooden horses this time) while celebrating Chengdu's deep ties to the Three Kingdoms era. Pro tip: Snap a selfie with Zhuge Liang's statue between arrow rounds! 📸
