We are taught from childhood not to fight with anyone, so why is there a special day of fighting in Russia?

On the last day of winter and the first day of spring in Russia, they call it the "Day of Fighting". It originated in the Eastern Slavs on the festival of "Thanksgiving", which has been celebrated for hundreds of years to mark the opening of the plow in the spring. On this day, Russians will eat and drink a lot, as the saying goes, to find excitement after eating, energetic young people began to play boxing matches. At the same time can also vent their bitterness.

Originally a group of drunken men playing with each other during the holiday celebrations, but later it became an activity, which they called "group fight day". On this day, Russian men can fight at any time, in the square, on the side of the road, in the field, the fight is to call on the more people the better, but both sides must be the same number of people. The children of the fighting nation are allowed to participate in this activity when they reach the age of 9.

For this odd holiday, there is no law that can not be how how, but the two sides have their own set of rules, including what: can not pull out the bird, can not sneak up behind you, can not have a personal grudge, can not use a variety of appliances, can not fight after a fight with the overnight revenge, can not be in the gloves to put to go something, can not hit the ground to crouch down The opponent.

A variety of rules, but from beginning to end, there is one rule that both sides must accept. That is, there must be an equal number of participants in the fight. Even though there are risks involved in participating in a fight, it is not allowed to fight to the death. Even if you are in a weak position, you are not allowed to play tricks. In this fight, fairness and non-lethality are the first points from start to finish. Both sides must also agree.

Generally after the game, the two players will also embrace each other to exchange: "you girl fight well, my incisors are disliked by you to lose two, next year then come to do ah!" . The other side wiped down the nosebleed: "You are not bad, my ribs let you almost kicked broken, next time the old place do not see no longer".
