Table tennis originated in England. In 189, several British navies stationed in India wanted to have some fun. However, tennis, which was popular in Britain at that time, demanded too much space, so they had a brainwave, put tables together, added a net in the middle, and then found small hollow balls to play.

table tennis, which is more adaptable than tennis, soon became all the rage. At first, it was called "wiff-waff", named after the sound of kraft paper stretched on its wooden shelf. At the beginning of the 2th century (198), the sound "Ping-Pong" made by the ball hitting the table began to appear, which was popularized by the trading company of the British manufacturer Jaxx. Subsequently, American table tennis manufacturer Parker Brothers registered it as a patent trademark.

After it was introduced into China, it was directly called "table tennis" according to transliteration.
