The origin of soccer

Soccer is an ancient sporting activity with a long history. The earliest origin of China's ancient ball game "Cuju", and later through the Arabs to Europe, the development of modern soccer. Therefore, the hometown of soccer is China. It is said that the Greeks and Romans played soccer before the Middle Ages. They put the ball on a white line in the center of a rectangular field and kicked the ball with their feet to roll it to the opponent's field, which was called "Habastom" at that time. By the early 19th century, soccer had become quite popular in some European and Latin American countries, especially in capitalist England. It was not until 1848 that the first written rules of the game, the Cambridge Rules, were born. However, a lot of information shows that the emergence of soccer in ancient China was earlier than in Europe and had a longer history. Ancient Chinese soccer was called "cuju" or "stepping on a bow", "cu" and "stepping on" both mean kicking, and "bow" means kicking. "Ju" is the name of the ball. "Cuju" word was first recorded in the "Historical Records of the bandits up Qi writing", the Han Dynasty Liu Xiang "Record" and the Tang Yan Shi Zeng for the "Han Book - Mei multiply biography" are recorded. To the Tang and Song dynasties, "Cuju" activities have been very prevalent, and become the court in the elegant activities. 1958 July, the current President of FIFA Dr. Avilanchier came to China had said: soccer originated in China. Of course, due to the limitations of the feudal society, ancient Chinese cuju activities eventually did not develop into a modern soccer game based on the principle of "fair play". The qualitative leap was made in capitalist England.

Cuju in the Han Dynasty

The Han and Tang dynasties were the most prosperous periods for the development of soccer in ancient China, with the development of direct competition. By the Tang Dynasty (618-977 AD), the ball used for cuju, filled with hair to be blown by the mouth, and two goals instead of the "bow room". To the Song Dynasty (AD 960 to 1279), Cuju more developed double goal and single goal competition, and called Qiyunsha or round the club organization appeared, and the ball used by people blowing with their mouths, the development of the use of air cylinders to pump, closer and closer to modern soccer.

Cuju in the Han Dynasty is a means of training soldiers, the development of a more complete system. Such as specializing in the setting of the stadium, the provisions of the east-west direction of the rectangle, each end of the six symmetrical "bow domain" also known as "bow room", each guarded by a person. The field was surrounded by a wall. The game is divided into two teams, mutual offense and defense, to kick the number of times into the other side of the bow room to decide the winner.

After the initial popularity of the Han Dynasty, the Tang and Song dynasties cuju activities reached a climax, and even appeared in accordance with the field position division of labor kicking. Cuju in the Tang Dynasty has a variety of ways, there is the number of times the top of the game ball "play bow", there is the middle of the field hanging nets, similar to the net soccer "white play", there are many people involved in the scramble "jumping bow", there is the establishment of the goal game, and the game will be the winner of the match. There is also the establishment of the goal of the game, this way each team has a certain number of people and a fixed position, the provisions of the players can only kick in their own position, can not move.

In early 2004, FIFA confirmed that soccer originated in China, and that "cuju" is the earliest historically documented soccer activity. "Warring States Strategy" and "Records of the Grand Historian" is the earliest record of cuju literature, the former describes the Spring and Autumn period more than 2,300 years ago, the capital of the State of Qi Linzi (now Zibo, Shandong Province) popular cuju activities, the latter records, cuju is the training of soldiers at that time, to examine the physical fitness of soldiers ("蹹 bow, the military situation is also so practicing the warrior, know that there is also material"). ).

The pre-Song cuju brief

The word "cuju" was first mentioned in the "Records of the Grand Historian - Su Qin's biography", when Su Qin traveled to King Xuan of Qi to describe the Linmiao: "Linmiao is very rich and real, and its people do not blow the pole, drums, and step on the juju people. The word "step" means "cu", kicking. "Jiu" is a ball, which is the ancient soccer ball. In the Han Dynasty, there are records about cuju in Xijing Miscellaneous Records, Salt and Iron Theory, Cuju New Book and Liu Xiang Bie Lu. Three Kingdoms, two Jin Dynasty, North and South Dynasty, the practice of cuju is still popular. Tang Dynasty, cuju is still a very common sport, Du Fu said in a poem: "ten years overlooking the bow will be fledgling far, thousands of miles of the same customs of the autumn and the thousand". However, there has been a great development. There are three main:

(1) with an inflatable ball: "Song Dynasty Facts Class Court" in: "Yan Shigu note Huo Zhaodi bud domains kicking bow cloud: 'Bow to the skin for the real hair, cu cu and play.' Yan said that the bow is so, to the late Tang is different." Xu Jian, "the beginning of learning": "today's cuju is said to play cones. Ancient with hair fiber knot, today with leather, to cell for the inside hush closed and cu."

(2) Establishment of the goal: "Cuju began in the Tang Dynasty, with the planting of two bamboos, several zhang high, and the netting of the two bamboos on top of the gate to measure the ball; the ball was divided into two parts and the left and right ponies were used to win or lose, which was the first and foremost thing to do.

(3) Various kicking styles: Double-goal kicking style: It was recorded in the "Balloon Fugue" by Zhong Wuyan of the Tang Dynasty. Single-goal kicking: This can be seen in the "Atlas of Cuju". No goal kicking: a person or a few people kicking alone, known as playing the bow; two people against the kick is called the white fight; more than three people **** kicking is called the field house, such as three people field house, four people field house.

The first documented fan

The Western Han Dynasty Xiang Chu was the first documented fan, but his experience was unfortunate. According to the Historical Records - Magpie Cangong Lianzhuan, the famous doctor Chun Yuyi treated Xiang Chu and advised him not to overwork, but Xiang Chu did not listen and still went out to play soccer, resulting in vomiting blood and died, which also made Xiang Chu the world's first recorded fanatic "fan".

The history of the first starting list

The Southern Song Dynasty, "Old Story of Wulin" had listed the "building ball thirty-two" competition when the two teams list and position: "The left army of sixteen people: the ball head of the Zhang Jun, stilt ball Wang Ren, the positive hostage Zhu Zhuo, the head of the hostage Schizai, the left pole net Ding interpretation, the right pole net Zhang Lin, scattered Hu Chun, etc.; the left pole net, the right pole net, the right pole net Zhang Lin, the scattered stand Hu Chun; the left pole net, the right pole net, the right pole net, the right pole net, the right pole net, the right pole net. The right army of 16 men: the head of the ball Li Zheng, stilt ball Zhu Zhen, the head of the host Zhu Zhuan, the deputy host Zhang Ning, the left pole net Xu Bing, the right pole net Wang Yu, the scattered stand Chen Jun and so on". I'm afraid this is the history of the first soccer "first list".

History of soccer

In 307 BC, during the Warring States period, King Wuling of Zhao reformed the implementation of the "hu clothing riding and archery", the people of Zhao learned to horseback riding and archery. The King of Zhao often rode out of the city with his cronies on horseback, which was very impressive. One day, came to a forest, saw a few rabbits in the forest, the king opened his mouth, "catching live", so the soldiers divided into four, and caught, do not want to scare, the rabbits ran straight, from the horse group of the flat seam have fled, nothing, the people shook their heads and sighed. A strategist suddenly bright eyes, came forward to offer advice "king, this pig roundup is very interesting, we may as well use the ball instead of the rabbit, without leaving the palace gate can play every day." "Good idea" praised the king of Zhao "this matter will be left to you to take full responsibility". Thus, soccer was born in China. But at the time, it was still a sport played on a horse, called "cuju".

By the Han Dynasty, there was a soccer field dedicated to the game, called "Jiu City", Jiu City for the rectangular, each end of the six Jiu room, presented in the shape of a hole in the moon, symmetrical, surrounded by a wall. Tang Dynasty is the prosperity of cuju activities, this period, not only has a great development, and soccer began to export, first landed in the place of the United Kingdom.

Cuju was originally exported as a complete product, but due to the underdeveloped transportation at that time, the transportation is very backward, after months of long-distance travel, Cuju in the United Kingdom when they arrived, the horses have died of exhaustion, only a ball left. But this is a ball, Britain is still regarded as a treasure, limited to the exclusive activities of the royal family, prohibit folk to enjoy this recreational activities.

In the 11th century, the Danes invaded England. One day, when the English were digging up the battlefield, they happened to dig up a few Danish skulls. Thinking of the Danish invasion of evil, these English people are extremely angry, they raised their feet and kicked hard at the skulls, to solve the anger, but also quite feel the fun of playing soccer. So, digging the battlefield of England more and more to participate in the ranks of the kick "ball". This patriotic behavior impressed the king of England, in order to reward the people, the king of England ordered the royal soccer open to the people. Soon, soccer spread in the folk, became a popular sports and entertainment activities.

At the beginning of the 12th century, Britain began to have a soccer tournament. The matches were recreational events, held twice a year, usually between two cities. The game was started when the host threw the ball in the air. Both sides will be a bundle on, yelling and shouting, and kicking and hugging, which side can kick the ball into the other side of the downtown area, which side is considered a victory. If the ball halfway into the residents of the house, the athletes also swarmed into the chaotic beat and kick, often the house things smashed to pieces, the owner had to sigh his own bad luck. Pedestrians on the road encountered the ball rolled, will suffer a flying accident. Therefore, at that time, when the ball game came, people had to avoid disaster, closed their homes, until the end of the game, before returning to normal. Such a ball game by the public's strong opposition, the British government issued a ban: the provisions of the soccer game to be played in the open space, into the downtown area of the heavy fines, so there is a special soccer stadium.

On October 26, 1863, the world's first soccer organization, the Football Association of England, was established in London, and the rules were unified, and modern soccer was officially established.

In ancient China, kicking a soccer ball was called "cuju". As early as 2,000 years ago, during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the game of cuju was played. In the Western Han Dynasty, a "Cuju City" was built for the competition. In the Tang Dynasty, when Cuju was in its heyday, the ball filled with gas was used instead of the ball filled with hair, which was called "gas carpet", and the goal was used instead of a room for Cuju. In the West, after the 10th century, soccer was played in France, Italy, England and other countries. By the end of the 15th century, there was the name of "soccer", and then gradually developed into the modern soccer game. 1863 October 26, the British in London set up the world's first soccer organization - the British Football Association, and unified the rules of soccer, people called this day the birth of modern football. called this day the birth day of modern soccer. The rules of the game ****14 rules, which are the basis of today's soccer rules. Starting from the 2nd Olympic Games in 1900, soccer was included as an official Olympic sport, but professional athletes were not allowed to participate. 1904 May 21, FIFA was founded in Paris, and from 1930 onwards, the World Football Championships (also known as the World Cup) were held every four years, and the restrictions on professional athletes were lifted. Since then, the modern game of soccer has been growing.

Legend has it that in the 11th century, there was a war between England and Denmark, and after the war, the British found a Danish invader's skull when cleaning up the ruins of the war, and out of resentment, they kicked the skull, and a group of children saw it and kicked it, but they found that the skull hurt when they kicked it, and so they used a cow's bladder to blow on it instead - and that was the birth of modern soccer.

This was the birth of modern soccer.

In medieval England, soccer became a passionate activity for many young people. They chased the ball through the narrow streets, often kicking it into the windows of houses on the street. The King of England had to ban soccer. From the 12th century to the 16th century, the King of England issued the "soccer ban" four times. However, due to the special charm of soccer, the ban did not make it die.

In 1835, the world's first soccer club was founded in Sheffield, England. In 1863, the first soccer association was established in England. From then on, organized, under the constraints of certain rules of soccer began to spread from the United Kingdom to Europe, spread around the world. By the end of the 19th century, soccer had become quite popular in Western European countries. In 1896, the first Olympic Games, soccer as one of the competitions, the results of the Danish team to 9:0 victory over the Greek team, became the first champion of the Olympic Games soccer.

In 1904, the soccer associations of seven countries, namely, England, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, established the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) in France, and elected the Frenchman Gérin as the first president of FIFA.

The earliest famous soccer players

During the Song Dynasty, soccer players organized their own group called "Yuan She" to promote cuju activities and competitions. The Northern Song Dynasty Gao Ziangzui came from the round society, Wang Mingqing's "after the dust record" records, Gao Ziangzui ball skills, because accompanied the Song Huizong kicking, was promoted to be the temple before the commanding officer, which is to be considered one of the earliest famous ball player.

Song's Liu Bin's "Zhongshan Poetry" recorded another person famous for playing soccer, the scholar Liu Sanfu ball skills, he knew that the prime minister Ding Pian likes to play soccer, in order to be promoted, he waited every day in the prime minister's residence stadium outside the wall, one day finally waited until the ball flew out of the wall, Liu Sanfu picked up the ball in the name of the ball into the residence, in order to meet with the Ding Pian, he threw the ball in the air, one side of the kneeling, one side of the head, shoulders, back and so on. He threw the ball in the air, kneeling on one side and kneeling on the other, and the ball never landed on the ground, which pleased Ding Pian, who gave Liu Sanfu an official position.

From the Spring and Autumn period to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Cuju experienced a development to the climax of the process, but in the Qing Dynasty, this activity has gone into decline. 1863, the birth of modern soccer in the United Kingdom, opened another chapter in the history of soccer development.

The birth of modern soccer

Spectators watching the game in 1893

From the 8th to the 19th centuries, precursors to the modern game of soccer existed in Europe in a variety of ways until 1863, when the first official rules for the game of soccer were created in England, marking the birth of the modern game.

A boy's impulse

In the 19th century, soccer was revived and widely played in a number of British colleges. At that time, there was no uniform rule for soccer, the game was played in a rectangular field, the time and the number of participants were temporarily agreed by the two sides, and the ball was kicked into the opponent's goalposts as a score. During this period, colleges such as Cambridge University, Hatton Public School, New Clifton University and others had their own way of kicking the ball, and no one thought of standardizing the rules of the game of soccer. At that time, the most unlucky people to be counted for the game ad hoc "umpire mediator", they are the predecessor of the referee, responsible for recording the number of goals and mediate disputes and controversies, but because of the lack of uniform rules, these mediators are always difficult to convince the public, and are often subject to dozens of people all over the field of the fight and siege.

One boy's impulse changed everything: On November 21, 1823, during a game, a 15-year-old boy named William Webb Exley suddenly picked up the ball in his hand, cradled it, and charged toward the opposing team's field. This action later sparked a great debate about the rules of soccer and the need to set uniform rules of soccer was realized. During the debate, the side that favored the use of hands and feet gradually developed the game into today's rugby, while the side that insisted on the use of feet only began the process of figuring out and creating the rules of the modern game of soccer.

The birth of the world's first sport in a tavern

The birthday of modern soccer

The birthplace of modern soccer was the **** Jeet's Tavern on Queen Street in London, where a landmark meeting in the history of soccer was held. Previously, in 1848, Cambridge University College had attempted to create a set of rules for the game of soccer, which was not publicly accepted, but uniformity had become ****. 26 October 1863, representatives from 11 London clubs and colleges met at the **** Keiths' Tavern to formulate the rules and create the authoritative soccer organization, which is also widely recognized as the birthday of modern soccer. The debate over the rules at the meeting was heated, with a minority represented by Gumbel insisting on the use of hands and feet, and the final vote was 13-4, with the iconic rule that the modern game of soccer does not allow the use of hands passed. In response, Gumbel and others left the meeting in anger and later founded the English Rugby Football Union in 1871.

*** Jeet's Tavern

At this meeting at the **** Jeet's Tavern, the English FA was also formed and documented the world's first unified rules of the game of soccer in a written situation, and two months later, on December 26, 1863, the FA reconvened in a small hotel in Crummieshire Street in London to refine the rules of the game of soccer into 14 rules, and to begin to The game was promoted nationwide, and the world's number one sport, which is now popular all over the world, was born. The 11 clubs and academies that attended the meeting at the ****Jeet's Tavern:

Forest FC (later renamed Rangers); Gilburne; Barnes; War Office; Crusaders; Percival; Blackheath FC; Kensington College; Surbiton; Blackheath College; Crystal Palace.

Soccer in modern times was first produced in England in the 19th century. Humanity entered the 20th century, soccer also entered the 20th century. Whether it is the legendary head of the enemy on that battlefield, or 10,000 people playing a soccer ball between two cities, have become a thing of the past. Modern soccer was about to take off, and gradually professional leagues were formed.

In 1903, Belgium, Denmark, France, Holland, and Spain agreed to form an international soccer organization, but England, the birthplace of soccer, was less enthusiastic. Nevertheless, soccer began to spread throughout Europe and the Americas. In Italy, British immigrants founded the Genoa team as early as 1893, and in 1899, the British and Italians joined forces to establish today's green giants, AC Milan, and in 1899, Italy founded the Confederation Championship, which was the first international soccer organization in the world. , Italy again founded the Federal Championship, the first seven Genoa six winners, while AC Milan won the title in 1901.

In South America, soccer was also brought here by British sailors, immigrants, Thomas. Sir Lipton founded the Lipton Cup, which became a rivalry between Uruguay and Argentina on both sides of the Río de la Plata

The most recognizable soccer leagues are now Europe's five major leagues (Serie A. English Premier League, La Liga, German Bundesliga, French Ligue 1)
