‘Molezhen’ means ‘competition’ in the Manchu language. Manchu Molezhen is a traditional cultural sports meeting which has pearl balls for men, women hunting activities, tugs-of-war, dragon dancing, folk dancing, wrestling and martial arts. The Molezhen is an important window on Jurchen culture, a valuable research event for Manchu culture, and an important transmitter of the Jinyuan culture.
