The wrestlers were called "poaching households". They were divided into first-class poaching households and second-class poaching households.

The Origin of Wrestling

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, the skybridge in Beijing appeared the rudiment of the market. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the overpass market had developed rapidly. There were many vendors performing acrobatics, martial arts, Zhongyu, wrestling, juggling and storytelling. "Dropping the ground" is a performance of setting up a shed on the flat ground and bench seats in the shed. Among them, wrestling is one of the most popular, popular and popular items in the performance.

Wrestling, also known as Chinese-style wrestling, is a combination of the advantages of all ethnic groups in history. Wrestling was recorded in the Han Dynasty and has gone through more than two thousand years of development. In the Qing Dynasty, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty advocated martial arts and established a "good battalion", specially selecting and training excellent wrestlers Gongwei capital. After the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, Shanpu Camp settled among the people and opened wrestling halls or street performances. Skybridge market, Tianjin "three no matter" and other places are the most concentrated place for wrestling sales. Shen San and Bao San, the first professional wrestling promoters in Tianqiao, are the descendants of Qingshan Puying Head and other Puhu Wanba (Wanyongshun).

After the founding of New China, under the leadership of Baosan, Tianqiao Baosan Wrestling Ground, the second generation of wrestling successors Chen Jinquan, Ma Guibao, Fu Shunlu, Xu Mao, etc., took turns to perform their skills. Mr. Bao Shanlin gradually transformed the single wrestling performance into an artistic form of wrestling. At the same time, he absorbed the artistic form of cross talk performance. The wrestling performance was brilliant and fierce, with rich explanatory language and funny humor, which attracted a large number of audiences. Every day, there were no empty seats in the front of the show. Although flyover wrestling has trained the fifth generation of inheritance, there is no guarantee of life and no fixed training ground, which also causes the lack of successors, so there is still a crisis in inheritance work.
