Is sumo more difficult or traditional?

Sumo originated in ancient China, why didn't it become our national sport? In life, people think of Japan when they mention sumo. Today, sumo has also become an international fighting technique and sport in Japan. But according to the librarian's records, China's sumo folk culture has existed since ancient times.

Sumo began in the early Warring States and developed into the Qin and Han Dynasties, often called Dai or Dai. It was not until the Southern and Northern Dynasties that the name of "sumo" was gradually formed. Since then, in the Southern Song Dynasty, sumo has reached its peak. When it reached the corner, sumo was not only popular among the people, but also developed into the court, and even women's sumo appeared. Later, in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the folk sumo was gradually lost, and the sumo movement began to enter a trough.

So, why did "sumo" flourish in the Song Dynasty and decline in the Ming Dynasty?

Sumo was also held in ancient China. Why did the Song Dynasty prosper and the Ming Dynasty declined?

The popular "sumo" folk custom in the Southern Song Dynasty

Sumo is also "played" in the palace.

Sumo reached its peak in the Southern Song Dynasty, when the imperial court had a national sumo team. They have special names for people in 3354. The emperor, the soldiers under the imperial sword guard and the army specially selected people who are good at sumo and set up special sumo teams. The team can't exceed 120 at most, and it is divided into first-level, intermediate-level, low-level players and some weapon users. There are also candidates, and these professional sumo wrestlers should receive strict training, and the rest days should be reviewed by the chief officials.

A large-scale sumo level review meeting is held every three years, and their level is judged again through the review, and they are given a silver prize. People with insufficient ability are dismissed or eliminated. This professional group often acts as a guard next to the emperor's royal car, similar to bodyguards, and some of them may be transferred to the secondment or official camp designated by the army. They wear hats, unkempt hair and red shirts, and usually walk on both sides of the guard of honor. They looked around and found that there was trouble in the crowd, so they stood up and punched.

A popular folk sumo in an era.

In the Song Dynasty, folk sumo became more popular and had a very solid mass base. For people, sumo can not only make people strong, but also be used as an entertainment game, regardless of time and place. Folk sumo is usually called "washing" sumo, which is as scattered as the ordinary market, but they still have a certain organization and a relatively fixed performance venue. At that time, the Huaxi Sumo in Hangzhou was initiated by two northwest people. The match was as intense as the sumo, but it was noisy. Among the numerous art forms in the Song Dynasty, sumo is undoubtedly considered as one of the most exciting events for the public. Before the start of the sumo competition, in order to attract more public attention, before the formal fight, young and beautiful female martial artists performed several sets of martial arts to fight. Finally, the wonderful sumo competition is always loved by many people, and it has aroused a warm response among them.

In the Song Dynasty, there was also a professional competition rule called "ideological trend" and its referee called "arrangement". Because both sides may die because of a mistake in the game. So before the game, both sides have to sign the certificate of life and death. "Water Margin" also describes the sumo competition between Lian Qing and senior executives.

Yanqing wants to go on stage and confront the executives again. The deployment requires him to dismantle the pregnant sumo club striptease with musical instruments first. Yan Qing said, "Are you saved? Don't plot against me. Yan Qing sneered, "I only have these sweatpants. What is he? Click ""

It can be seen that in sumo competition, "ideological trend" is the premise and guarantee to ensure the fairness of the competition.

There are many interesting women in sumo.

Why do violent forms of entertainment like sumo allow women to join? But the problem is. Women's sumo was considered as a "temple fair" in Beijing at that time, which can be said to be the most popular entertainment performance. Why is this happening? At that time, people liked to watch it, so unlike Xueshu singing opera, it didn't require hard work. Sumo was a physical activity and could be very competitive.

Sumo wrestlers, a professional woman, can arouse curiosity as long as she takes a colourful and rough stage name, not to mention playing "light" with her bare hands. The specific "light" is not clearly recorded in the history books, but they will not hide their shame. Wearing "conservative" clothes, people will naturally be attracted by this struggle between death and death.

How can such an intense and interesting scene not make people applaud? Even some people have been training and practicing sumo skills since childhood, eager to become national sumo wrestlers when they grow up. Because it will not only win rich monetary rewards, but also hold court performances. So this system has produced a large number of excellent sumo wrestlers.

However, why the smog gradually declined later may start with Sima Guang. Before Song Renzong appreciates women's "naked play" in front of virtue, he can talk frankly about Sima Guang's book On Women's Sumo in Shangyuan. As a reformer, Sima Guang did not adapt to Song Renzong's natural moral practice. But in Song Renzong's eyes, the existence of this "sub-speed imagination" is reasonable. However, more and more women's sumo has been criticized by more and more people. In their view, this tacky performance destroyed the social atmosphere and violated the feudal social ethics. This may be the beginning of the decline of sumo.

Unfortunately, as an entertainment sport, sumo has experienced a development of 1000 years in China, reaching its peak in the Southern Song Dynasty, but it entered a low tide in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties and gradually disappeared. Today, when people mention sumo, they think it was invented by other countries. In this regard, whenever I read it, I feel sorry. It is even sadder to think that there are so many traditions in China, either lost or declining. (On the other hand, it is also a tradition).
