Tips

culture
Started in May 2023 as a weekend amateur tournament among farmers and shopkeepers in 榕江县, Guizhou.

Named a 2023 Top 10 buzzword by 《咬文嚼字》.
usage
Sparked the X超 naming pattern - 苏超 (Jiangsu Super League, 2025) followed. All refer to grassroots/amateur football leagues that got mainstream attention.
