Sumo has become an "aristocratic" sport in Japan. How is it formed?

On the surface, sumo seems to be pushed around by two big fat people, but in fact it has become a kind of sports competition in Japan, and it has become an international and national sport in Japan. Sumo, which is vulgar to outsiders, is actually an elegant sport in Japan. The reason why sumo can become an aristocratic sport mainly stems from two factors: religious sacrifice and nationalism.

Sumo was originally a ceremony.

We all know that sumo originated in China, and finally spread to Japan, where it developed. Sumo was originally a ritual in Japanese Taoism, and the god of sacrifice was1800,000. And this god is a bit illusory, it exists in all things, which is a bit similar to? Everything has a spirit? . So1800,000 represents infinity, not a concrete thing. It is with the support of Japanese protoss and Taoism that sumo can spread for thousands of years.

Sumo was introduced into court.

By the end of the seventh century to the eighth century in Japan, the change of the times also made sumo a noble sport. After entering the court, it has always been a reserved project of the Japanese court because it is loved by the nobles.

Sumo has become a sport symbolizing nationalism.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), sumo has become a sport and an international competition in Japan, and it represents Japan's unique economy and culture. So sumo and patriotism are linked, which is why sumo athletes are generally loved by people. During the Second World War, Japanese nationalism began to expand. They only supported their own national sports and excluded foreign sports, so sumo with Japanese characteristics directly became a national sport.

Before the Han Dynasty, there was a sport called Jiaojiao in China. Because the two movements are very similar, Jody is also regarded as the predecessor of sumo. Sumo also appeared in the history of China after the Tang Dynasty, and it didn't really develop until the Song Dynasty.
