play football

Cuju refers to the activities of kicking, kicking and kicking by the ancients, similar to today's football.

According to historical records, as early as the Warring States Period, the recreational cuju game was popular among the people in China, and it became a method of military training from the Han Dynasty. Cuju organizations and artists appeared in the Song Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, it can be said that Cuju is a wonderful flower with a long history and great influence in ancient China.

On May 20th, 2006, with the approval of the State Council, Cuju was listed as the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage.

Cuju origin:

The bow used in cuju can be traced back to the stone ball. Shiqiu was first unearthed in Ding Cun cultural site about 10 million years ago, and a large number of Xu Jiayao cultural sites appeared about 40 thousand years ago. Stone balls were originally used as hunting tools. In the late primitive society, stone balls kicked by feet and hollow pottery balls appeared.

The legend of Cuju was written by the Yellow Emperor: "Cuju is said to have been made by the Yellow Emperor (recorded by Liu Xiang)". The Ming Dynasty's "Taiping Huaqing" also recorded that "stepping on the bow began after the porch, and the martial arts dramas in the army took leather as the yuan capsule, and they actually took hair." In other words, cuju began in the Yellow Emperor and was used for military training. The bow is made of leather, round and filled with hair. It is recorded in the Silk Book of the Warring States that after the Yellow Emperor killed Chiyou, he "filled his belly with a bow, so that people can hold it, and many people will be rewarded".

Mushe

Wooden ball shooting, also known as fifteen-pillar ball, is an indoor activity form in which players hit fifteen bamboo shoots with wooden balls in turn, which came into being and prevailed in the Tang Dynasty.

Shooting wood is a very special ball game. Lu Bing of the Tang Dynasty wrote a book about shooting wood and gave a very detailed introduction to this activity. Unfortunately, this book has been lost. In the Song Dynasty, Chao, a contemporary, had read this book, so he gave a brief answer to the "shooting wood map" in his "Reading the County and Zhai Zhi", which left us with a more vivid description of shooting wood. He said: "Wood Shooting Map", Tang Lubing. Replace Hou with fifteen bamboo shoots and hit the ground. Zhu Mo, the word noble. Zhu Zhe: Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faithfulness, softness, kindness, courtesy, frugality and concession. Ink maker: slow, arrogant, greedy, abusive. The benevolent wins, the abuser loses, and rewards and punishments are rewarded. "

The main idea of this article is to cut wood into bamboo shoots as targets, and it is not easy to fall when standing up, a total of fifteen. These fifteen bamboo shoots are divided into two categories: one is painted in red and engraved with the words benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faithfulness, softness, kindness, courtesy, frugality and concession; The other is painted black and engraved with the words "slow, arrogant, ugly, greedy and abusive" respectively. During the activity, fifteen bamboo shoots were placed at one end of the flat ground and the thrower was at the other end. Wooden balls are used to beat bamboo shoots at the other end, so that those who beat vermilion bamboo shoots win and those who beat ink lose. Finally, whoever shoots Zhu Hong down will be the ultimate winner.

Blow a bowl

"Beat" means to hit, and "pill" means to ball. Throwing the ball is a sport in ancient China, in which the ball was hit into a hole with a stick. The predecessor may be the step ball in polo in Tang Dynasty. Walking at that time was similar to modern hockey, and it was very antagonistic. In the Song Dynasty, the step-ball competition gradually evolved from the original antagonistic competition in the same field to the non-antagonistic competition of hitting the ball in turn. The goal was changed to the hole and the name was changed to "Blowing Bowl".

According to the records of Maruko, the most remarkable features of Cuimaru are: the venue should be rugged, with holes, and colored flags should be inserted next to the holes as markers; There are different kinds of sticks (sticks) for playing pills, such as pestle, scoop, simple stick and single hand, which can be used for people to choose and play different balls under different conditions. Pilling balls are usually made of extra wood, which is the part of the tree that forms nodes. This kind of wood grows irregularly, and the fibers of the tree are twisted tightly and very strong, which will not be bad after playing for a long time.

The most striking feature of Blowing Bay is to set a hole on the court and hit the ball with a stick. There is a nest on the ridge, also called "home", which is a small hole; Insert a flag next to the bird's nest. When pounding pills, the winner wins when the ball enters the nest. The so-called "base" is the designated point of attack. The distance between the tee and the socket can be 50 to 60 steps apart, the farthest distance should not exceed 100 step, and the nearest distance should be at least 10 foot wide.

Friction pills and golf:

Technically, there are three basic features that are the same as golf. First, there are loopholes in both. Second, both of them hit the ball with sticks, and the sticks used are basically the same; Third, the location is very similar.

Shotblast was probably introduced to Europe in the Yuan Dynasty. Le Maisa, a famous French oriental scholar, based on a large number of historical materials, verified the fact that ancient China culture was introduced into Europe by Mongols.
