Cuju in Han dynasty
The Han and Tang Dynasties was the most prosperous period for the development of ancient football in China, and it developed into a direct confrontation game. In the Tang Dynasty (AD 6 18-907), the ball used in Cuju was changed from being filled with hair to being blown with the mouth, and two goals were used instead of the "bow room". In the Song Dynasty (AD 960-1279), Cuju had developed double-goal and single-goal competitions, and a club organization named Yun Qi Club or Round Club appeared. The balls used were blown by people with their mouths and inflated with a pump, which was more and more close to modern football. Cuju was a means of training soldiers in Han Dynasty, and a relatively complete system was established. If the palace is specially set up, it is defined as a rectangle in the east-west direction, with six symmetrical "bow areas" at each end, also known as "bow rooms", each guarded by one person. There is a fence around the construction site. The game is divided into two teams, each with its own offense and defense, and the outcome is determined by the number of kicks into the opponent's bow room. After the initial popularity in the Han Dynasty, cuju activities reached a climax in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and even the kicking method according to the position on the field appeared. Cuju has taken many forms in the Tang Dynasty, such as "bowing" based on the number of times of heading the ball, "beating in vain" in the center of the court, "jumping the bow" in which many people participate in fighting, and the game of setting up the goal. In this way, each team has a certain number of people and a fixed position, and it is stipulated that players can only play in their own positions and cannot move. At the beginning of 2004, FIFA confirmed that football originated in China, and cuju was the earliest recorded football activity. The Warring States Policy and Historical Records are the earliest records of Cuju. The former describes the popular cuju activity in Linzi, the capital of Qi State (now Linzi, Shandong Province) more than 2,300 years ago, while the latter records that cuju was the best way to train soldiers and assess soldiers' physique at that time ("it is impossible to stumble, so you can also practice samurai, so you have knowledge and materials").
Introduction of Cuju before Song Dynasty
The word "Cuju" first appeared in Historical Records and Biography of Su Qin. When Su Qin lobbied Qi Xuanwang, he described Linzi as follows: "Linzi is very rich and practical, and his people are all players who play the pole, drum and bow." "Kick" means "kick", which means kick. "Bow and ball are ancient football. There are records about Cuju in Xijing Miscellany, Salt and Iron Theory, Cuju New Book and Liuxiang Bielu in Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the custom of cuju was still prevalent. In the Tang Dynasty, cuju was still a very common sport. Du Fu said in a poem: "Ten years' bird's eye view of the bow will make you far away, and so will Wan Li's swing. However, it has made great progress. There are three main points: (1) There is an inflatable ball: "The fact garden of the Song Dynasty" contains: "Yan Shigu notes that Huo Qubing is kicking a chrysanthemum cloud in the bud field:' The bow is made of leather, but it is really hairy, and it is also a play. "Yan said that the bow is like this, and the late Tang Dynasty is different." Xu Jian's Beginners: "Today Cuju said to play ball. It was made of wool fiber in ancient times, but now it is made of skin, which is realized by cells. " (2) Set a goal: "General Examination of Literature" "Cuqiu Gai began in the Tang Dynasty, planting two bamboo trees several feet high, netting them, and measuring the ball as the door; The goal is about two points, and the victory or defeat depends on the corner kick. Isn't it another time? " (3) Various kicking methods: double goal kicking method: recorded in Zhong Wuyan's Balloon Fu in the Tang Dynasty. Kicking with one ball: You can see it in Cuju Atlas. Kicking without a goal: one or several people kick alone, which is called bowing; They both kicked in vain; Three or more people play together to call the field households, such as three-person field households and four-person field households.
The first recorded fan
Xiang Chu was the first recorded model in the Western Han Dynasty, but his experience was unfortunate. According to Records of the Historian Biography of Bian Que and Cang Gong, the famous doctor Chunyu Kun treated Xiang Chu and told him not to be overworked, but Xiang Chu didn't listen and went out to play football. As a result, Xiang Chu vomited blood and died, which also made Xiang Chu the first fanatical "fan" in the world.
The first starting list in history
The Old Story of Wulin in the Southern Song Dynasty once listed the names and positions of the two teams in the "Thirty-two-player Ball Building" competition: "Sixteen people in Zuo Jun: Zhang Jun, Wang Lian, Zhu Xuan, Shi Ze, Ding Quan, Zhang Lin and Chun Hu. ; Sixteen members of the right army: Li Zheng, Zhu Zhen, Zhu Xuan, Zhang Ning, Bin Xu, Wang Yong and Jun Chen. This is probably the first football "starting list" in history.
The history of football
In 307 BC, that is, during the Warring States period, King Wuling of Zhao reformed and practiced "riding and shooting", and Zhao people learned to ride horses and shoot arrows. Wang Zhao often rides out of town with his cronies, which is very spectacular. One day, when I came to a forest, I saw some rabbits in the forest. As soon as the king opened his mouth, he "captured him alive", so the soldiers divided into four ways and caught him together. I don't want to be scared. Rabbits ran around and escaped from the flat seam of the horse, but found nothing. Everyone shook their heads and sighed. A counselor suddenly brightened up and came forward to offer advice: "Your Majesty, this kind of containment is very interesting. We might as well use the ball instead of the rabbit and play every day without leaving the palace. " "Good idea" Wang Dajia praised "this matter is in your charge". Thus, football was born in China. But I was still riding a horse, called Cuju. In the Han Dynasty, there was a football field dedicated to competitions, which was called "Cheng Ju". Cheng Ju is rectangular, with six megalithic chambers at each end, which are in the shape of a moon cave and symmetrical to each other, and there are walls around the venue. The Tang Dynasty was a prosperous period of Cuju activities. During this period, not only has there been great development, but football has also begun to be exported to the outside world. The first place to land is Britain. Cuju was originally exported as a complete product, but because of the underdeveloped transportation at that time, the means of transportation were very backward. After a long journey of several months, when Cuju arrived in England, the horse was exhausted and there was only one ball left. However, it is such a dance that Britain still regards it as a treasure, which is limited to the exclusive activities of the royal family and prohibits people from enjoying this kind of entertainment. 1 1 century, the Danes invaded England. One day, when the British were digging a battlefield, they accidentally dug up the skulls of several Danes. The British people were furious at the thought of the crime of Danish invasion. They lifted their feet and kicked their skulls hard to relieve their anger, and they felt quite happy playing football. As a result, more and more British people who dug the battlefield took part in the "ball" kick, and a group of children kicked it when they saw it. However, they found that the skull hurts when they kick, so they switched to cow bladder blowing-this is the birth of modern football. This patriotic act touched the king of England. In order to reward the people, the king of England ordered the royal football to be opened to the people. Soon, football spread among the people and became a popular sports and entertainment activity. /kloc-At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a football match in England. Competition is an entertainment activity, twice a year, usually held between two cities. The host threw the ball into the air and the game began. Both sides will squeeze, shout, kick and hug, and which side can kick the ball to the downtown area of the other side is victory. If the ball rushes into a resident's house halfway, the players will rush in and disturb the kicking method, often smashing things in the house, and the owner has to sigh for his bad luck. Pedestrians on the road will encounter unexpected trouble when they touch the ball. So, at that time, when the game came, people had to avoid disasters and close their doors until the game was over. Such a football match was strongly opposed by the public, and the British government issued a ban: it was stipulated that football matches must be played in open spaces, and those who entered downtown areas would be severely punished, so special football fields appeared. 1863,101October 26th, the English Football Association, the first football organization in the world, was established in London with unified rules, and modern football was formally established. In ancient China, kicking the ball with feet was called "Cuju". As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago, there was the Cuju movement. In the Western Han Dynasty, Cheng Ju was built for competitions. The Tang Dynasty was the prosperous period of Cuju activities. The ball filled with air replaced the ball filled with hair in the past, which was called "air blanket", and the goal replaced the bow room. In the west, after 10 century, some countries, such as France, Italy and Britain, had football matches. By the end of 15, it was called "football", and then it gradually developed into a modern football sport. 1863, 10/0 On October 26th, the British established the first football organization in the world, the British Football Association, and unified the rules of football. People call this day the birth day of modern football. The football rules formulated this time are *** 14, which is the basis of today's football rules. From the 2nd Olympic Games of 1900, 20 10 South Africa Football World Cup was listed as an official Olympic event, but professional athletes were not allowed to participate. 1904 on may 2 1 day, FIFA was established in Paris. Since 1930, the World Football Championship (also known as the World Cup) has been held every four years, and the restrictions on professional athletes have been lifted. Since then, modern football has developed day by day. In medieval England, football became a keen activity for many young people. They run after the ball in the narrow street and often kick the ball to the windows of people in the street. So the king of England had to ban playing football. From12nd century to16th century, the king of England issued a "football ban" four times. However, due to the special charm of football, the ban failed to make it die. 1835, the world's first football club was established in Sheffield, England. 1863, the first football association in England was established. Since then, organized football under certain rules has spread from Britain to Europe and the world. /kloc-at the end of 0/9, football was quite popular in western European countries. 1896 In the first Olympic Games, football was listed as one of the events. As a result, Denmark beat Greece 9-0 and became the first champion in the Olympic football match. 1904, the football associations of Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland established the International Football Federation in France, and elected Ge Lan as the first FIFA president.
[Edit this paragraph] Football has become the first sport in the world.
First, the essence of sports: football itself embodies the characteristics of human sports, and the sudden start between athletes is like a sprint; Goalkeepers jump up and down and jump sideways, just like jumping events; Those athletes with good flexibility hang a gold hook upside down and jump to the top, like gymnastics; The reasonable collision between two players is a bit like the expressive force and aesthetic feeling of football ... Second, popularization: low requirements for football participants are an important reason. Players who play football, unlike other sports, do not have the big problem of being tall and thin. For example, football, the small one must suffer a big loss; Basketball is the world of "long people" Football, on the other hand, provides all the children in the world with the opportunity to have a "superstar dream". 3. Unpredictability: The contingency of football match results is an important reason for the fanaticism of fans all over the world. Because in the football world, there is no absolute strong team. Liverpool may be "knocked down" by an unknown second-division team or even an amateur team. Brazil, which was piled up with stars, was defeated by Japan, which was still immature at that time, in the Olympic football match. 1966, North Korea, a "third world" football team, once defeated Italy and entered the quarter-finals of the World Cup. In the just-concluded World Cup warm-up match, China unexpectedly defeated the French team, the runner-up of the last World Cup and the former world champion. Therefore, in a football match, you never know the result until the last moment. Handsome guy: Handsome guy on the football field is the reason why football has become "the first sport in the world". There is a simple reason. The girls are worshipping and desperate to go to the stadium to watch the ball (mainly to watch people). Can their boyfriends not worry? Even men who are not interested in football should follow their girlfriends to the stadium. The most important thing is to keep an eye on your girlfriends and not let them be taken away by those "sweetheart" on the court. V. Environment: Fans, like diners, have a mouth-watering football feast, but the atmosphere of "eating" is better. Lively, atmospheric and spectacular, these football fields have them. Compared with the sultry badminton hall and a small table tennis table, the wide court is magnificent and exciting. Six, freedom: tens of thousands of fans together, hilarious. To be honest, if you want to watch the ball quietly, who will? Controversy: "The biggest charm of football is controversy." A farsighted old man said a farsighted sentence. This old man is former FIFA President Havelange. Yes, if football matches are all "dead" and mechanical, then football will lose its great charm. Just because the referee is a person, he may misjudge, take bribes, manipulate the game and so on. This has caused great controversy and more people's attention.
[Edit this paragraph] Sports characteristics
The reason why football has such great charm is not only because it is pregnant with rich connotations, but also because of its characteristics. First, honesty. In the football match, each team has 1 1 players. 1 1 people on the field should think in unison and act in unison. Move when attacking, and obey all the rules. The overall awareness of participating in the war is stronger. Only by forming an overall attack and defense can we get the initiative of the game and good results. Second, the overall situation. The football match has a large venue and a large number of people. How to make good use of the venue and the number of people is the key to winning or losing. The two sides use effective passing and smooth cooperation to break through the layers of defense and mobilize each other through a wide range of space transfer in order to find loopholes or tear apart the defense. At the same time, the football league has a long season and heavy games. Reasonable physical distribution and proper player rotation are all factors that consider the whole season. Third, fineness. Football is thick and thin, and the big guy is actually very smart. Personal dribbling pays attention to exquisite skills and appropriate timing. Sometimes a short time difference or a few steps will cause a breakthrough, a wonderful pass or even a goal! However, the players of both sides not only confront each other in football, but also have constant psychological contests: small action harassment, big action pressure causing the fear of the other side, verbal provocation and provocation of others, and handling the ball under high pressure at critical moments (such as the mentality of the shooter and goalkeeper during penalty kicks, and whether they can stay awake in overtime) are all the highlights and chewiness of football. Fourth, antagonism. Football is an antagonistic sport with fierce competition. In the competition, the two sides fight for control in hand-to-hand combat, so as to attack the opponent's goal without letting the ball enter their own goal, especially near the two restricted areas, and the competition for time and space is extremely fierce and wonderful. In a high-level competition, both sides fell to the ground more than 200 times because of the competition and collision, which shows the fierce confrontation. V. variability. Football is an aperiodic sport with colorful techniques, unpredictable tactics and unpredictable outcome. When using skills and tactics in the competition, they are directly interfered, restricted and resisted by their opponents. Skills and tactics are flexibly used and played according to the specific situation on the field. Sixth, ease of use. The rules of football match are relatively simple, and the requirements for equipment are not high. There are no strict restrictions on the time, number of participants, venue and equipment of a general football match, so it is a very relaxed mass sports event in the national fitness.
