Billiard

Wednesday, August 26, 2019 Weather: Sunny

On this day, I have to play table tennis again, which is very exciting. Although I have been playing the billiard for almost two months, I don’t even know his history. It’s awkward. I saw the explanation of the netizens. I realized that the billiards also had a unique history: billiards in 1890. Several British navy officers stationed in India accidentally found that playing tennis on a small table was quite exciting. Later, they switched to a small hollow ball instead of a small solid ball, and replaced the racquet with a wooden board. This novel "tennis game" was performed on the table. This is the origin of Tablet ennis.

Shortly after the appearance of Table Tennis, it became a popular sport. At the beginning of the 20th century, the United States began to produce kits of table games. Initially, Table tennis has other names, such as In door tennis. Later, an American manufacturer created the new word Ping-pong with the sound of a billiard ball as a patent for the "billiard" patent he made. Ping-pong later became another official name for Table tennis. When it arrived in China, people created the new word "billiard".

In Japanese, the billiards are called "billiards." Many of the words used in billiards have changed from tennis. The ball used for playing billiards is called Ping-pongball or Table-tennisball, the billiard table is called Ping-pongtable, the counter is called Court, the middle net is called Net, the rack supporting the net is called Netsupport, and the billiard is called Ping-pongbat.

Billiards is China's national football. China's table tennis level is among the best in the world. When I grow up, I must participate in the "China National Table Team"!
