Corner wrestling, also known as corner wrestling, is one of the important events in the hundred operas of the Han Dynasty. Similar to wrestling or sumo wrestling in later generations, it was called sumo wrestling or wrestling in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. It should be a sports sport. In fact, this form of performance was first seen in an earlier era. According to the Annals of the Criminal Law of the Han Dynasty, “after the Spring and Autumn Period, the weak were destroyed and the small were swallowed, and for the Warring States period, the ceremony of martial arts was added slightly, which was considered as a kind of theatrical music and boasted with respect to each other. However, the Qin Dynasty changed its name to Jiaodi, and the ceremony of the first king was not in lewd music.” Jiaodi was very popular in the court and among the people. When the court receives foreign guests, it often gathers the audience to display a variety of operas, opens the corners and spreads the rewards of money and silk, so that foreign guests can see the collection of treasures in various warehouses to show the strength of the Han court. In the third year of Yuanfeng (108 B.C.), recorded in the Book of the Han Dynasty, the Annals of the Emperor Wu: “In the spring of three years, you can watch the Jiaodi Opera within three hundred miles.” The note quoted the following: “The music is called Jiaodi Opera, and the two are quite competitive, and the horn skill is excellent, so it is called Jiaodi Opera.” In the Selected Works, Xijing Fu, there is also a sentence of “The square of looking forward, the wonderful drama of Cheng Jiaodi Opera”, which describes this kind of sports scene.
