In the last issue, Skinny Winter Melon reviewed "Several Key Battles in the History of Chinese Men's Table Tennis" with everyone, and in this issue, I relived the brief history of the development of brilliant national football with fans and friends.
The reason why it has become a brief history is that table tennis has been introduced to China since 1904 from Japan, with a history of nearly 120 years before and after, the time span is long, and it is difficult to obtain evidence from the data, so the winter melon can only do its best, excerpt the key nodes in the development process of the national ball in the past 70 years, and relive the development of the national ball with everyone.
Revisit the origins of table tennis. Table tennis originated in the United Kingdom, at the end of the 19th century, Europe was popular in tennis, but due to the limitations of the venue and weather, some college students in the United Kingdom moved tennis indoors, using the table as a table and making a racket with parchment. In 1890, the British athlete Gibb brought back some celluloid balls from the United States, and later they switched to hollow plastic balls, replaced net rackets with wooden boards, and played "tennis matches" on the table, and table tennis was born.
In 1904, Wang Daowu, the owner of a stationery shop in Shanghai, bought back 10 sets of table tennis equipment from Japan, and since then table tennis has been introduced to China, and since then there has been table tennis in China. However, from the beginning of the last century to the 1950s, China's domestic turmoil was uncertain, the people were plagued by war, and the development of table tennis has been stagnant.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" > 1950s: the national ball ushered in spring</h1>
The 1950s were the era when Japanese table tennis dominated the world. Japan is not only technologically advanced, but also innovative in equipment, and began to take the lead in using sponge rackets, accounting for 49% of the total in 7 world championships, accounting for 24 of the 49 world championship gold medals. In Contrast, China did not establish a table tennis team until 1952.
In 1953, the Chinese team participated in the 20th World Table Tennis Championships held in Bucharest for the first time. In team competitions,
In 1956, at the 23rd World Table Tennis Championships in Tokyo, the men's team defeated the Asian champions South Vietnamese and the United States, losing to the United Kingdom, Japan and Romania. outcome
In 1967, the Chinese table tennis team participated in the 24th World Table Tennis Championships in Stockholm.
Rong Guotuan
At the 25th World Table Tennis Championships held in Dortmund, West Germany in 1959, Rong Guotuan defeated Hungary's world champion Dorsey in the men's singles final to win the first world championship in world sports for China, which was a crucial step, and the national table tennis also ushered in a temporary spring.

Table tennis five tigers will
The 1960s was a great leap forward in Chinese table tennis, and Zhuang Zedong, Xu Yinsheng, Li Furong, Zhang Xielin and Zhou Lansun were the "Five Tiger Generals" who were famous in the table tennis arena. On the other hand, the women's team also emerged qiu Zhonghui, Lin Huiqing, Hu Yulan and other outstanding national players.
Qiu Zhonghui
In the 26th Beijing World Table Tennis Championships in 1961, the men's team won the team championship for the first time, and in the women's singles final, Qiu Zhonghuike's Hungarian star Gao Ji'an became the first women's world champion in the new Chinese sports world.
In the 27th World Table Tennis Championships in Prague in 1963, china's table tennis team won three world championships in men's team, men's singles and men's doubles.
At the 28th Ljubljana World Table Tennis Championships in 1965, the Chinese team won five championships, four runners-up and seven third places in seven events, the Chinese table tennis team has won the men's team world championship for the third consecutive time, and Zhuang Zedong has won the men's singles world championship for the third time. Chinese women's table tennis lifted the Cobilun Cup for the first time. It can be said that the national table tennis started in the 60s and quickly won a place in the world table tennis arena.
Unfortunately, with the start of the Cultural Revolution, the national table tennis was absent from the 29th and 30th World Table Tennis Championships.
Lin Huiqing and Premier Zhou
In the 31st Nagoya World Table Tennis Championships in 1971, the men's team won the men's team gold cup, while the women's team lost to the old enemy Japan. In this World Table Tennis Championships, Lin Huiqing won three firsts, successively won the women's singles, women's doubles, mixed doubles championships, becoming the first World Table Tennis Grand Slam athlete in Chinese history, she and Zhang Xielin won the mixed doubles gold medal, but also the first time chinese athletes won the gold medal in the mixed doubles event. At this point, the seven trophies of the World Table Tennis Championships are engraved with the names of Chinese.
In the early 1970s, the Chinese table tennis team worked hard to implement the decisions of the central government and actively carried out table tennis diplomacy, which played an important role in opening the door of exchanges between China and the United States and improving the world political pattern. In the journey of competing for the first place in the past few decades, Chinese table tennis athletes have also bred a series of aphorisms, aphorisms and stories advocating advanced culture, such as "embracing the motherland and looking at the world", "life can have several beats", "winning from scratch", "losing without losing people", "I am representing the collective to receive awards", "playing style, playing level", "innovation has vitality", etc., which have been recited by people for a long time and have become the spiritual wealth shared by society.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >1981----1987: China entered its heyday</h1>
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" > the 1980s, was a heyday of Chinese men's table tennis, and in the four World Table Tennis Championships between 1981 and 1987, they won the men's team and men's singles trophies and won two men's doubles laurels. </h1>
For a time, Guo Yuehua, Chen Xinhua, Jiang Jialiang, Cai Zhenhua, Xie Saike, Shi Zhihao, and Wang Huiyuan became household stars.
There is also a "table tennis superstar" among the female players, who is Cao Yanhua, a sister of The Chinese table tennis in the 80s, a 59 gold medal winner and the first person in China's four Grand Slams.
1988-----1991: The national ball fell into a trough
Although the national ball has been monopolized for a period of time, the good times are not long, and with the development of world table tennis, the development of our national table tennis has gradually become inadequate. The aura began in 1986, when Jiang Jialiang lost to the 18-year-old South Korean teenager at the Asian Games in Seoul.
At the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, national table tennis became an official competition for the first time, but in the men's singles event that was generally favored, it was unfortunately killed by Waterloo, among which the top seed jiang Jialiang and the third seed Chen Longcan both stopped in the quarterfinals. Unfortunately, 1988 was also the year that China lost Seoul.
At the 40th World Table Tennis Championships in 1989, the Swedish troika entered its peak state, and the brilliant Chinese men's table tennis lost 0:5 to their opponents in the men's team final.
At the 41st World Table Tennis Championships in 1991, the women's team lost their only team championship in 30 years; the men's team even fell to seventh place. A series of blows pulled the Chinese table tennis ball, which was once at the top of the world, down the altar. At that time, the Media in Singapore even described Chinese table tennis as follows: "Prosperity will decline."
Swedish table tennis team
When the Chinese team lost, it was also the time when the European team rose. The Swedish table tennis team led by Waldner began to shine internationally with its original style of play. At that time, the technology of the Chinese team, unchanged for more than ten years, had long since lost its advantages, and even lagged behind.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" > after 1993: Chinese table tennis has made a comeback</h1>
In the 42nd World Table Tennis Championships in 1993, the Chinese men's table tennis lost to Sweden again in the men's team final, relying only on a men's doubles champion of Wang Tao/Lü Lin to save face. In that era when European players dominated the world, the national table tennis brother Ma Cultural Revolution was the trough of the Chinese men's table tennis, in the singles event to retain a place, he in the 89 and 92 World Cup two men's singles champions, as well as the 92 Olympic Games men's singles bronze medal, retained the hope of China's men's table tennis revival.
National table tennis Gemini
Subsequently, Chinese table tennis entered its heyday, except for Waldner, the men's team had almost no opponents. Gemini stars Kong Linghui and Liu Guoliang came out of nowhere, stunning the table tennis scene. Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui won the men's doubles gold medal at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. At the same time, they won the men's singles gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta and 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.
Great Demon King Deng Yaping
In terms of women, Chen Jing, Deng Yaping, Qiao Hong, Liu Wei, Qiao Yunping and outstanding players stand out, which also makes the women's table tennis pattern become the world's great China, especially the 8-year rule of the first generation of the Great Devil King, making the women's advantage very obvious.
From 1999 to 2013: ushered in the era of "two kings and one horse"
From 1999 to 2013, the "two kings and one horse" led the national table tennis institute to lead the way, winning almost all the gold medals that should be won, and the world championship titles added up by the three people reached an unprecedented 52, which is unmatched by any table tennis predecessor. Speaking of "two kings and one horse", I believe that many table tennis fans still have fresh memories, and even recall that their blood is boiling, and the scene of the three people joining hands to break into the world table tennis arena is vividly remembered.
Two kings and one horse
The era of "two kings and one horse" is not exaggerated at all, and the absolute rule of the three people over the world table tennis at the peak of the three people exceeded any era of national table tennis. The contribution of "two kings and one horse" to the national table tennis and even the international table tennis world is obvious to all, no one can erase it, the three are not grand slams, but they are better than grand slams. In terms of women's table tennis, the same starlight is brilliant, Wang Nan, Zhang Yining, and the two generations of great devils have made the world table tennis scene feel frightened.

In recent years, the situation is not much introduced, and everyone knows better than the winter melon, and the point is reached. On the men's side, people's artist Xu Xin, Tibetan mastiff Zhang Jike, hexagonal warrior, full slam winner Ma Long, etc. emerged, and on the women's side, Li Xiaoxia, Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng, etc.
In 2021, facing the next Olympic cycle, although there are ito, Hirano, Zhang Benzhihe, Boer, Ocha and other masters outside, but in the end they can not compete with the volume advantage of national table tennis, at present, the wolf raising plan is risky, but it must not have caused hard injuries.
The above are all personal collation data results, not perfect, insufficient, please correct. Thanks for paying attention to the skinny winter melon and learning more about table tennis together.
