Abstract

The cultural history of polo is extensive, yet its origin remains a subject of debate within academia, lacking definitive consensus. This paper aims to synthesize previous research findings and compare various theories of origin, based on extensive examination of historical literature. Through this comprehensive review, it seeks to further investigate the birthplace of polo and advance the research process regarding its origin. Among the prevailing theories of origin concerning polo, the Persian theory presents relatively substantial evidence. Additionally, unearthed artifacts suggest potential connections between the origins of polo and the Saka and Tuhuoluo peoples, warranting further investigation. Research into the origin of polo not only enriches theoretical studies in our country but also provides new theoretical support for reviving Chinese polo culture and fostering comprehensive and harmonious development within our sports culture.
