Cuju's rules:

Let's talk about the basic inheritance of Cuju. As a sport, kicking stone ball has been gradually passed down among the people through social inheritance. Especially loved by Beijing residents, most of them were popular among Manchu, Mongolian and Hui, and gradually declined after the Revolution of 1911.

In the Qing Dynasty, Mr. Pu Ren, Pu Yi's fourth brother, was a master at kicking stone balls. According to him, playing stone ball was one of the popular activities at that time. There are children kicking stone balls in the palace compound and in the streets. In modern Beijing, there is also a folk song "Children play with me and kick the ball at the gate", which shows that playing stone ball is a very influential sports activity in Beijing.

In the early 1980s, Comrade Zhao Shu, then deputy director of the Beijing Municipal People's Committee and now a librarian of the Beijing Literature and History Research Institute, invited Jin Qizong, a Manchu scholar, and Mr. Pu Ren, the fourth brother of Puyi, to teach him how to kick a stone ball. Together with Comrade Caring Xiu, he wrote the basic rules of kicking a stone ball according to Mr. Jin Qizong's description.

Later, this technology was passed on to Guo of middle school, the Central University for Nationalities, An Tieshan, Xia Hanming, Chloe Wang and Ding Mingshan of Beijing Sport University.

How to play cuju:

The traditional street kicking stone ball is very flexible and especially popular with children. According to teacher Guan Huaixiu's memory, when I was a child, I watched my grandfather play with stone balls: as soon as my coat was lifted and my knees bent, I could start playing football.

The game is very simple, that is, two people kick together facing a ball on the sole of their feet and listen to the crisp sound of "bang" when two balls collide as the fun of kicking a stone ball.

The venue is not limited, but the playmates are required to reach a unified opinion in advance. In addition, the site conditions for playing stone balls are also changeable. It can be carried out on the flat ground of streets and lanes, or set obstacles such as tiles on the flat ground, or play in places with slopes. Of course, the ice in winter can also be an entertainment place.

There is a poem written by Li Shengzhen during the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty in Hundred Plays of Zhuzhi Ci: "Wandering in the gathering place, you can enjoy the cool for a while. The iron ball is more like a kick. Why not use the golden pill to chase the Nine Tombs? "

The author said in the note: "Kick the bow, kick the ball under a common name, set up two iron balls and step on the pier to win the opponent, and the rogue will also play." In winter, the moon remains the same, one after another on the ice. "In addition, the requirements for equipment are also very flexible. Of course, it is best to use spherical ones, such as stone balls, ceramic balls, hollow iron balls, solid iron balls and so on. And ceramic tile, stones, peach pit, etc. It can also be used in harsh conditions.

1999, the State Sports General Administration and the State Ethnic Affairs Commission listed kicking stone ball as an official event of the 6th National Traditional Minority Sports Games, and officially renamed it Cuju, which made it have complete and standardized competition rules.

The brief introduction is as follows: Cuju competition is divided into upper and lower rounds on a square horizontal field of 65,438+00× 65,438+00 square meters. Players push or squeeze the ball forward through the soles of their feet, so that the ball touches the opponent's or their own ball. According to this calculation, the winner is the total score of the upper and lower rounds.
