In ancient times, football was not called football, but keju. In 307 BC, that is, during the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao reformed and implemented the "Hufu Riding Archery", and the people of Zhao learned to ride horses and shoot arrows. King Zhao often rode out of the city with his cronies. One day, when he came to a forest, he saw several hares in the forest, and King Zhao said "catch alive", and his subordinates were divided into four ways, and they were caught, and they did not want to be frightened, and the hares ran rampant, and fled from the flat seams of the horses, and found nothing, and everyone shook their heads and sighed. A strategist's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward to offer a plan: "King, this kind of containment is very interesting, we might as well use balls instead of rabbits, and we can play every day without leaving the palace gate." King Zhao praised it. Thus, football was born in China. However, at that time, it was still a horseback sport, and it was called "Keju". Later, Kemari was not only allowed to play on horseback, but also developed to the point where people could play while running. By the Tang Dynasty, it became a common sport. At that time, the Keju ball was like the one in Yao Huang's hands, the size and shell were very different from modern football.

"Second sister, how to play football?" Yao Qing asked.

"You call the two tigers and them over, and I'll tell you the rules of football."

"Okay, you wait." Yao Qing quickly ran out of the door and went to gather his group of junior brothers. Soon, a group of children gathered in the courtyard of Yao Huang's house.

"There is a goal on the left and right sides, and a goalkeeper on each side. The others split into two teams and the players cooperate with each other to kick the ball into the opponent's goal and prevent the opponent from hoofing the ball into their own goal. Remember, only use your feet, head, and other parts of your body, not your hands. Otherwise, it's a foul ......" Yao Huang drew a schematic diagram of a football field under the courtyard with a tree branch, pointing to the schematic diagram to explain the rules of football to a group of boys. She didn't know how to play and how to play it. That's why it's all about the rules of modern football.

"Second sister, we have all memorized these rules. Can you let us play? Yao Qing listened to it for a long time, and he couldn't wait to play.

"Oh, well! Go play! Yao Huang threw the ball to Yao Qing, and a group of boys cheered, and ran out of the door in a swarm of swarms around Yao Qing.

Although the conscription has ended, the young people are used to practicing martial arts, and the open space outside the ancestral hall is still used as a martial arts training ground for everyone, and there are still a few young people practicing martial arts there. The boys could not play with the ball in the clearing, so they rushed out of the village again. Yao Huang followed them to the outside of the village. Watch as they sort out the weeds at the edge of the woods and carve out a place to play. After the goal was also replaced by four branches on the ground, the boys divided into two teams to start the game, with Yao Huang as the referee.

As early as when a large number of children ran through the village with leather balls, the people in the village knew that they had a new game to play - Yao Huang taught the children several modern games when he had nothing to do, such as shuttlecock kicking, one, two, three wooden people, etc. The girls were curious to follow the boys, wanting to see what was going on in the new game, and they became spectators, whenever someone scored. The girls would applaud and cheer, and the lively atmosphere attracted the idle adults in the village to come out and watch. For a moment, the outside of the grove became bustling.

Wenren Chiba was also in the crowd watching, and he was a Zhilu Daoju. Kemari was a game played by the upper class, and aristocratic families occasionally held Kemari tournaments. However, after watching for a long time, he found that there are many differences between the rules of children's football and Keju's rules. At least Kemari is four or six goals, while soccer has only two. But it's more than Kemari. Football seems to be a little more exciting, and the competition is more intense.

Bursts of cheering and applause came from outside the village. Even the young people who were practicing martial arts and the village chief, who were old and unhappy, were also attracted to it. Later, almost the whole village gathered around the edge of the grove.

Young people are full of excitement when they see the attraction of football for all ages, and when they see the children struggling to grab football, young people are gearing up and want to try it themselves. So, after the boys' game was over, the young people cheekily borrowed the football from Yao Qing, divided into two teams, and played against each other. The young men are strong, they play football more than the boys, and they get louder cheers and cheers. This comparison is compared to the sunset, everyone's stomachs began to rebel, and everyone reluctantly returned to their homes to make fires and cook. As you can expect, the first thing the members of Shimizu Village, who are middle-aged and below who are male, do when they return home is to ask their mothers (wives, sisters) to help them sew a leather soccer ball.

After that day, football became the favorite sport of men, and women also liked to be spectators, and the joy brought by football made everyone forget for a while the anxiety and melancholy that the war was about to bring.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yao Huang held his forehead weakly, staring at this pair of innocent eyes full of expectation and reverence, the pressure was so great!

"Sister Erya, you teach the boys such a fun game, teach us a kind of game too, we also want to play a fun game." Apricot's sister Li'er pleaded with stars in her eyes, and the other little Lori's under the age of ten nodded in support.

"Auntie, we have to play too." Xiao Ke took a group of three or four-year-old buns around Yao Huang, and their eyes were wet, as if, if you don't give us ideas, we will cry to you. In terms of balls, the little buns can also play, but they have short arms and legs and can't participate in the game of football, which makes the little buns feel extremely frustrated, so they also join forces to find the "inventor" of football, Yao Huang, to help them think of other games that can be played.

Yao Huang's head is big, it's okay to deal with a small bun, to deal with a group of small buns, Yali Mountain is big!

"Alright, alright, alright, I'll help you figure it out!" Yao Huang hurriedly agreed, and received a burst of cheers from Xiao Baozi and Xiao Lori.

"Don't make any noise, let me think about it!"

Xiao Baozi and Xiao Lori immediately covered their mouths with their hands, for fear of making a noise to Yao Huang, and their big eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.

Yao Huang racked his brains to think that there are those games suitable for Xiao Baozi and Xiao Lori, oops, what a headache! You must know that Yao Huang was a child who grew up in the city in her previous life, when she was a child, her parents were busy with work, and she was placed at her grandmother's house, where she could only play with toys alone, such as building blocks, rubber ducklings that would make a sound when pinched, dolls, small tricycles, water guns that looked like submachine guns, etc.; After entering elementary school, Yao Huang's favorite thing was to play table tennis or play with rubber bands with his classmates. There are really not many other games suitable for preschoolers. (To be continued......)
