How diverse were the recreational activities of ancient emperors? Let's start with a game of polo.
In the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) court painting Zhu Zhanji at Leisure, you can observe a polo player galloping on horseback, striking the ball with a mallet, while onlookers watch in awe.
Feeling eager to try polo yourself but don't know how to start? Don't worry, you can try contemporary hockey instead – it feels quite similar when you're swinging the stick!
With the Paris Olympic Games just around the corner, let's get inspired by Zhu Zhanji at Leisure, up our sports game and welcome the Olympics in style!
