In the Tang Dynasty, when Cuju made the ball, two clubs with a height of three feet were erected in the center of the court, and the upper goal was about one foot in diameter, which was called the "eye of the wind". There are 12 or 16 people on both sides of the left and right army (two teams) substations, and their clothes are different in color, which are called ball head, small ball, forearm, head arm, left rod net, right rod net and scattered stand respectively. The ball head is also slightly different from the player's hat. In the game, the players of the left army will kick off first and then pass it to the vice captain several times. The vice captain will count until the ball is correct and stable before passing it to the captain. The captain will kick the ball to the eye of the wind, and the winner will be king. So does the right team with the ball. At the end of the game, the winner will be rewarded and the loser will be punished. The captain will eat a whip and put white powder on his face.
