Is the trophy early or the medal early?

The trophy has been a symbol of honor since ancient times and is one of the highest personal achievements. It has a long history in China, but it also exists abroad, such as the previous pennants, such as the Olympic gold medals in today's society and so on. It is an encouragement and reward for the winners in many competitions. Then, let me introduce the development history of the trophy at home and abroad.

In China, as early as the ancient Yin and Zhou Dynasties, archery became popular, and a symbol of spoils appeared. If you win the first place, you will get a prize. The first prize is the champion, followed by the silver wine glass. When you hit it, you will get a prize with a wine glass. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were banners and bowls covered with golden flowers. In the Song Dynasty, silver bowls were presented as prizes. In the famous dragon boat race in the Song Dynasty, the first academy of sciences won the silver bowl, which was called "winning the bid" and was applauded by people.

In the west, it comes from England. According to research, there was once a king in England who was stabbed to death by an assassin on horseback while accepting a toast. From then on, in order to prevent assassination, when holding a banquet, drinking was passed from the guests in order and formed a circle. When holding the glass, you and the people next to you should stand up and protect the drinker. Later, with the extension of this etiquette, it became a precious gift for "people with high status", and then evolved into a gift for winners and became a trophy now. So you can see that there is a difference between traditional domestic trophies and foreign trophies.
