Bullfighting is a sport in which people fight with cows. People who take part in bullfighting are called matadors, which are mainly popular in Spain, Portugal and Latin America, and are also the national skill of Spain. The history of bullfighting can be traced back to the worship of cattle and murals in prehistoric times.

Spanish bullfighting originated from an ancient religious activity in Spain (killing cattle to sacrifice to the gods). King Alfonso X of Spain started this activity in13rd century, and later it evolved into a bullfight performance (the real bullfight performance appeared in18th century).

At present, there are more than 300 bullrings in Spain (the largest is Ventas bullring in Madrid, which can accommodate 25,000 people). March ~165438+1October is the running of the bulls in Spain, sometimes it is played every day, usually on Sunday and Thursday.

Award-winning treatment:

If the cow has lost its fighting ability after being stabbed, but the sword is not deep enough or the cow is not strong enough, it will not fall to the ground and die for the time being. At this time, the matador or his assistant will stab the central nervous system of the cow with a cross sword or dagger, and the cow will immediately fall to the ground and die.

At this time, a mule cart dressed in floral ornaments will appear and drag the cow away. The matador will accept cheers from the audience, throw hats at the audience, and accept cheers, applause and flowers from the audience. The matador will enjoy the honor of leaving a bull's ear, a bull's tail and being carried out from the main entrance according to the assassination level from low to high.
