Is modern football evolved from ancient cuju in China? What is the relationship between modern football in China and ancient cuju? The World Cup is still very popular recently. Despite frequent accidents, Ronaldo never lets people down. It can be said to be the beacon of spinach. Speaking of football, it is still very interesting and competitive. And it's really less than the last second, so I have no idea what the result will be. Therefore, it has great charm and is suitable for almost all ages. But in fact, in ancient China, there was another sport called Cuju and football. Let's take a look at this problem and reveal the secret. Don't miss it if you are interested!

First of all, let's review the development history of ancient cuju in China.

Cuju was called Cuju in ancient China, and it also has other names, such as Cuju, Cuju, Playing Ball, Cuju, Kicking Ball, etc. Although there are many names and they look fashionable, Cuju's fate is really tortuous. Finally, we look down.

Cuju first appeared in Historical Records and Biography of Su Qin. The original text is: "Linzi is very practical, and everyone beats drums and bows." This sentence was made by Su Qin when he lobbied Qi Xuanwang. In other words, Linzi is a very rich and powerful place, and local people play cuju every day. This is the first mention of cuju in history books. When Qi Xuanwang was in power, it was about 30 1-350 BC, that is, during the Warring States Period, with a history of about 2,300 years from today. Really old.

Then some netizens want to ask who invented this cuju? Liu Xiang recorded in Bielu: "Cuju is said to have been done by the Yellow Emperor or the Warring States." There is a rumor that cuju was invented by the Yellow Emperor, but it was actually said by Liu Xiang, which is a rumor. Then this can't be judged as an official history, but it is worth affirming that Cuju existed in the Warring States period, and there is no problem.

"Taiping Huaqing" records: "Cuju began after the announcement."

Biography of Historical Records of Su Qin records: "There are 70,000 households in Linzi, who are very rich, all playing flute, drum, hammer, piano, cockfighting, lackeys, six blogs and bows."

"Miscellanies of Xijing" has a record: "Gao Zu asked for theft. Interested in life, killing and selling teenagers, fighting cocks and playing cuju, never tire of watching them. Today, there is no such thing, so he is not happy. "

It seems that not only ordinary people, but also Liu Bang's father, Han Gaozu, played cuju when he was young, and not only played cuju, but also played chicken fighting, ball making, flying kites, outings, chess and other sports. So cuju was very popular in the Warring States period at that time, and of course there were many other sports.

With the passage of time, we came to the Western Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. It can be said that the war has been going on all these years, so the development of the military system has also flourished, which has indirectly promoted the development of cuju, because playing cuju during training is also a way of exercising, and it is still very interesting. It was also recorded in ancient China: "The rich ride horses, and the poor play cuju in the hall."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also highly praised and strongly advocated activities such as cuju, throwing pots, playing chess and hunting. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was also recorded in the literature that Cao Cao loved cuju and often took a cuju master and played it from time to time.

However, from the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, wars were indeed frequent, so Cuju didn't seem to be on any historical stage, so its development stagnated.

The following Tang Dynasty was completely different. Because the Tang Dynasty was full of flowers, the economy was developed and people lived and worked in peace and contentment, what did people do in their leisure time at this time? Of course, Cuju came into being, so the Tang Dynasty was the acme of Cuju's development and the most prosperous time. From the imperial court to the ordinary people, they all loved it and enjoyed unprecedented prosperity.

In the year of "General Examination of Literature in Twenty Years", Marin said: "The cluster of autumn covers began in the Tang Dynasty, and two bamboos were planted, which were several feet high, netting doors and measuring balls. The ball is divided into friends and friends, and the corner kick wins and loses. " Cuju is being played at this time.

The poet Wang Wei's poem "Cold Food in the East of the City" says, "Cuju has repeatedly crossed the bird, and the swing makes you cry."

Du Fu's poem "Tomb-Sweeping Day" also said, "Ten years of success, taking teenagers far away, Wan Li is also popular." They are all descriptions of the prosperity of Cuju in Ming Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, Cuju was completely loved by the upper and lower classes. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi and Minister Zhao Pu were all masters of Cuju. Gao Qiu of the Water Margin knows a lot. It's like kicking out your life with cuju and kicking out your senior officials.

By the Ming Dynasty, cuju was not only a sport, because it became a form of personal performance, and it was mainly family-style, as everyone knows. But when everything reaches the level of personal form, this thing should be close to death. After the early Qing dynasty, cuju was still trained by the army and participated by the people. But in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, China's traditional cuju gradually disappeared and was finally replaced by modern western football.

Let's take a look at the development history of modern western football.

Western football seems to have originated in England. 1 1 century, after the battle between England and Denmark, the British found the head left by the Danes when cleaning up the mess of the battlefield, so they kicked around to vent their anger. The story spread, everyone kicked and hit, but the skull was so hard that it became a cow bladder and was inflated. Finally, deerskin was added. Okay, the earliest.

Some friends must be a little confused when they see this. From this perspective, China's cuju seems to have little to do with modern football.

But let's look at another set of data:

1975, Al Fu Xie Chiruman said in his book "The History of World Football": "Numerous data show that the appearance of ancient football in China was much earlier than that in Europe and America. In the era of the Yellow Emperor, football appeared in China, and its name was Cuju. "

1978 FIFA President Havelange said: "Football originated in China."

1980, Mr. Blatter in his

))

Samaranch said in 199 1, "Football originated from cuju in China."

In 2004, China started his own action, and Linzi held an expert demonstration meeting on the origin of Linzi football, announcing that "ancient Cuju in China originated in Linzi, the capital of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."

At the 3rd China International Football Expo, FIFA President Blatter of Bingo Doby also solemnly declared to the world that "China is the hometown of football". Since then, velappan has issued a confirmation commemorative certificate to Linzi, Zibo.

So far, the conclusion that "world football originated from Cuju in Linzi, Zibo, China" has been established in theory.

As Chinese people, we are certainly satisfied with this result, but there are also some things that need to be mentioned. Cuju has developed into a place where everyone can play in China. Why did it suddenly disappear in the middle and late Qing Dynasty? In fact, we all know the historical reasons. I won't show it today, but there are many things worth pondering. There are some traditional cultures we can't lose, but there are some old bad habits we must change.

There will be a football match in Brazil this weekend? Whether the villa is on the beach or on the rooftop depends on everyone's fortune.
