Table tennis originated in England at the end of19th century. It started as an active game. The ball is made of light and elastic materials, and the racket is hit on the table like tennis with a board similar to the cigar box cover, so it is called "table tennis". 1900 or so, due to the development of light industry, the ball was changed into a hollow ball made of celluloid.
Since then, table tennis has gradually developed. The first large-scale table tennis competition was held in1900+February in London, England. More than 300 people took part in the competition. During the competition, male athletes should wear shirts and starched vests, while female athletes should wear skirts and even hats.
