The history and current situation of badminton, the history of the development of badminton

Badminton in the modern sense originated in England in the early 70s of the 19th century. The English word "badminton" is named after a manor called Bloomington in Glasgowshire, England. In 1899, the first famous All England Badminton Championships were held in the UK, and badminton has since moved beyond the UK to the world.

The world badminton in the first half of the 20th century was an era of European and American dominance. During this period, the outstanding characteristics of badminton were slow and steady, and the playing style was mainly slow and slow.

From the late 40s to the early 50s, Malaysia won the championship in a number of competitions in a row with the technique and tactics of "fast to slow and attack-oriented", taking the lead in breaking the situation of European and American dominance. Since then, the era of Asian athletes dominating the international badminton arena has begun.

In the late 50s, badminton in Indonesia burst onto the horizon. On the basis of extensively absorbing the advanced technology of the Eurasian badminton powers, they accelerated the speed of hitting the ball and the control of the ball landing point, developed a rapid attack under the premise of stability and accuracy, and won a total of 7 championships in the 8 Tang Cup tournaments in the past 20 years from 1958 to 1979.

Since the mid-60s, Chinese badminton has begun to go global. Under the guidance of the technical style of "fast, ruthless, accurate and lively" and the game style of "self-oriented, attack-oriented, and fast-oriented", he frequently defeated the world champion Indonesian team and swept the Nordic powerhouses Denmark and Sweden and other strong teams. Due to international sanctions at that time, China could not participate in official world competitions.

During this period, Chinese badminton was known as the "uncrowned king" in the history of world badminton.

After China became a full member of the International Badminton Federation in 1981, Asian players occupied a dominant position in the world of badminton.

In the 90s, after more than 100 years of development, badminton officially entered the palace of the Olympic Games, and now, the world badminton is emerging a situation of Eurasian confrontation and competition.

A brief introduction to the development of badminton is as follows:

Origin: In the early dawn of China, more than 2,000 years ago, a game similar to badminton appeared in China, India and other countries. China is called shuttlecock, India is called Pune, and countries such as Sina are called shuttlecock cricket.

Modern badminton was born in the UK. Badminton was introduced to China around 1920. In the 70s of the 20th century, China's badminton team has become one of the world's strongest teams.

Badminton was included as an official sport at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.

Development: In 1877, the Badminton Club of Bath in the United Kingdom was founded, and the first badminton rules were published in the United Kingdom. In 1934, the International Badminton Federation was founded, with its headquarters in London.

In 1939, the International Badminton Federation adopted the Rules of Badminton for all member states. In May 1981, the International Badminton Federation (IBF) restored China's legal seat in the International Badminton Federation, opening a new page in the history of international badminton and entering a glorious era in which Chinese badminton players dominated the world. Barcelona 1992 was an official event and Atlanta 1996 was an official event.

In 2006, the new rules of badminton were officially implemented after a three-month trial period.
