Tug-of-war（拔河） is popular in China and many other countries all over the world. However, Tug-of-war in other countries is different from China’ s. There are eight players in each team. Our two teams have the same number of men or women players. The players are usually strong and heavy. In the competition, we need a long thick rope （绳子）. Each team stands at one end of the rope and holds it. Then they try to pull the rope to their side. If a team pulls the center of the rope away for a certain distance, the team will win. Many experts（专家） think members in the tug-of-war team don’t need to be strong and heavy. We don’t have endless（无尽的） energy for the match. The secret is good hands. If the players have big and strong hands, they will hold the rope better. The experts say the farmers have the best hands for tug-of-war. Because farmers have to work very hard and farming is a good practice for tug-of-war.
