The rise and fall of the bow movement can not be separated from the policies and advocacy of the rulers.

Most emperors in Tang and Song Dynasties attached importance to cuju as a military training method. When they meet the game, they all watch it in person. Good world, good world, is an important factor in the prosperity of Cuju in Tang and Song Dynasties.

The Yuan Dynasty was founded by Mongols living on horseback. Because of their living habits and ethnic barriers, they are not adapted to the game types and sports of the Han nationality, let alone advocated. Cuju had to be transferred from the official to the folk, and gradually became a pure entertainment and cultural activity of the folk.

After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, soldiers were forbidden to play cuju and ordered that "cuju players should unload their feet". However, due to the charm of Cuju itself, Cuju is still deeply loved by people.

The emperor shunzhi once told me that it is forbidden to play football and cuju should be banned immediately. Later, Emperor Qianlong simply banned cuju activities, so the folk cuju movement was greatly restricted.
