Chapter 764: Keju
In addition to playing, Ang Lee also attaches great importance to exercise, but if it is a monotonous exercise, it will be too boring, only by combining exercise and fun, that kind of exercise is more interesting and easier for people to persevere.
For example, if one person runs, it is exercise, but if there is only one person running, most people will not be able to persevere, because it is too boring and not interesting at all.
And if you let a group of people run together, you chase me to catch up, then the effect is different, it will be more fun, and it will be easier to persevere.
However, running is less confrontational and the fun is more limited, while more intense sports competitions will be more interesting, such as Keju and polo.
Ang Lee made a beach juju at the port beach of Aden City, and the polo test field was selected in the open field outside the city, after all, the polo game has relatively high requirements for the venue, and the space in the city is very limited, which is too crowded, and the outside of the city has a wide enough space to meet the needs of polo games and watching.
Keju is football, it is a very ancient sport, about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the sport of Keju has appeared, and it has been very perfect in the Tang Dynasty, various rules are getting more and more perfect, and the quality of Keju is getting better and better.
However, the sign that Keju has entered a cross-era significance is the invention of Ang Lee's all-rubber Keju and the rules of Keju, which has brought the development of Keju into a new era and made Keju more fun.
To say that the history of the development of Keju, originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, after the unification of the Qin State, Keju was silent for a time, and became a sport that no one played, and after the rise of the Han Dynasty, Keju flourished again, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty paid more attention to force, and regarded Keju as the way to govern the country and practice martial arts, which was not only widely carried out in the army, but also widely popular among the court nobles, and became a very popular sport.
Among them, the more famous story is that the father of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, is used to living in the countryside, the old man is really difficult to adapt to the life of the court, he is depressed all day long, and he is not happy at all, in order to make his old father happy, Liu Bang built a new city similar to his hometown Pei County in Chang'an City, and moved the people of his hometown to this new city, Liu Laotou and his wife also moved there, this new city has people fighting cocks every day, playing Keju, Just like the scene in Peixian, so the old man Liu became happy, which shows how popular Keju is, especially the middle and lower class people like to play Keju the most, and it has even become a necessary entertainment for the ancients to travel at home.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, an eloquent emperor, often held cockfights and juju meetings in the palace.
Dong Xian, the favorite minister of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, even raised a juke who was very good at playing football, which was equivalent to a football star in later generations, which shows how popular the sport of juju was in the Han Dynasty.
Because Keju was too prosperous in the Han Dynasty, there were even many people who specialized in the study of Keju, and even published books, such as, Keju 25 is the earliest sports book in China, and it is also the world's first sports book, Bangu even listed Keju 25 as a military book, which is regarded as a necessary training skill for soldiers, but unfortunately it was later lost.
In the Han Dynasty, he insisted on kicking the neck of Keju, and finally died of overwork and vomiting blood, which shows his madness for Keju.
During the period of the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because of frequent wars and foreign invasions, the common people lived in extreme hardship.
But in the Tang Dynasty, because the national strength gradually became stronger, the war gradually subsided, so the popular sport of Keju flourished again.
Moreover, the Keju technique of the Tang Dynasty was much more advanced than that of the Han Dynasty, and the first eight pieces of pointed skin were used to replace the previous two pieces of skin, making the sphere look more rounded.
Secondly, the hair stuffed in the spherical shell was changed to a bubble of urine, and the breath was closed and blown to become an inflatable juju, far ahead of the rest of the world.
Because the sphere is lighter, Datang's Keju can kick higher, and it is more enjoyable to play.
Of course, after Ang Lee invented the rubber football, the effect went further, the inner tank is made of strong rubber material, and the outer layer is also wear-resistant and soft rubber, so that Keju becomes more light and easy to use, and it is more enjoyable to play.
The biggest progress in Datang is that women have joined the sport of football, however, women's football does not need a goal, and they can kick high and play tricks, and even highly skilled female stars have appeared.
'Keju repeatedly passed over the birds, and the swings raced out of the weeping poplars. ’
This is a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei, and from the first half of the sentence, you can see how high the kick is, and it is even higher than the birds in the sky.
There is also a sentence in the Qingming of the poem Saint Du Fu, ten years of Keju will be far away, and the custom of swinging is the same, this poem fully illustrates the popularity of Keju.
There are also Lu You's poems, 100,000 families in Liangzhou in the cold, the swing and the bow are still luxurious, and the road into Liangzhou seems to be flat, and the swing and the bow take advantage of the Qingming.
These celebrity poems all point out the popularity of Keju in the Tang Dynasty, and it is precisely because the people of the Tang Dynasty love Keju that they have exercised the physique of the people of the Tang Dynasty and made the Tang army invincible.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, even the emperor was addicted to football, Tang Wenzong often climbed the Qinzheng Building alone, condescendingly watching people kick and wrestle, which was not bad, and then Tang Xizong personally participated in Keju and cockfighting, which was simply a market emperor.
When the last emperor Zhaozong was in trouble, the six armies were all gone, and only a group of gentlemen who usually kicked and bowed were left and right to follow around, which shows what this emperor usually did.
The Great Song Dynasty was an era of emphasizing literature over martial arts, and the enthusiasm of the common people to join the army was much weaker than that of the Tang Dynasty, but the development of Keju in the Great Song Dynasty was not affected by the emphasis on literature and light on martial arts, and even the emperor liked the sport of Keju.
The famous Taiwei Gao Yu of the Song Dynasty established a good relationship by kicking the juju with Song Huizong, and then he became the Taiwei of the Great Song Dynasty.
The Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty also existed, but it was no longer so popular, and its influence was greatly reduced, and by the time of the Qing Dynasty, the Keju almost completely disappeared, and there is almost no record of Keju in the history books of the Qing Dynasty.
In other words, Keju appeared from the Spring and Autumn Period, experienced the glory of the Han, Tang, and Song eras, and completely fell into the Qing Dynasty and became unpopular.
Later generations of Huaxia began to attach importance to Keju, but no matter how much human, financial and material resources were invested, the level of Chinese football has never improved much, and it seems that it can no longer reproduce the glory of the Han, Tang and Song dynasties.
Of course, in the process of Kemari dimming, there is more human factor, and it is not that the sport is really unpopular.
Ang Lee hadn't kicked Keju for a long time, and this time on the beach in Aden City, he had to work hard to show his subordinates that he wasn't old yet.
The terrain on the beach isn't really good for kicking, but there's a lot of space here, and it's inevitable to fall when kicking a ball, so the soft sand cushions you can reduce the chance of injury, which is much less than spending time and effort laying the lawn.
The rules set by Ang Lee are completely the rules of later football, with ten players and one goalkeeper per team, and a total of 22 players in the two teams.
Although it is just for fun, if there is no audience and friends, it will not be much fun, and the fun of the game will drop a lot, especially the young and beautiful lady, when watching the game, come to cheer or something, it will definitely be able to greatly stimulate the passion and potential of the kicker, so that the game people work harder into the game.
In order to accommodate more people to watch the game at the same time, the audience seats are around the competition venue, completely around the competition venue, and the other three sides are good to say, the side near the sea is directly built in the sea, anyway, the water on the beach is not very deep, even if someone accidentally falls into the sea, it is not a big deal, just swim to the sea.
The most luxurious viewing platform is naturally on the highest shore, that is, opposite the viewing platform in the sea, and it is on land that more luxurious platforms and various facilities such as shading facilities, chairs and tables can be built.
The viewing platforms on both sides of the shore only have seats, and nothing else, and the audience platform soaked in the sea is a staircase with layers of high stacks, and there are no chairs, so you can only stand and watch.
Of course, the premise of different treatment is that the price of tickets is different, the tickets on the front are the highest, the ones on both sides are cheaper, and those standing in the sea are cheaper, which can meet the needs of people of different grades to come in and watch the ball.
In the days of trial operation, there were kicking talents in the Tang Army, and there were really a lot of guests watching, all of which were of any grade, and there were guests watching from all directions.
And with the spread of Keju's wonderful performances, the number of spectators began to increase step by step, after all, Aden City is a commercial city, there are many rich and idle people, and it is still a good choice to watch sports games when you are bored.
On the tenth day of the game, Ang Lee was about to show off his skills, and he had already advertised that he was going to participate in the football game.
This news has a great sensation, I heard that Ang Lee is going to participate in the game in person, all the nobles of Aden City are interested, and some people have never had the opportunity to see Ang Lee, which is good news!
And some Sichun's little mothers have long heard that Ang Lee is handsome and chic, and he is a rare hero, and she has already secretly promised in her heart that if she doesn't take this opportunity to take a look at Ang Lee, how can she be worthy of herself.
As a result, the tickets were quickly sold out, so that some merchants who did not buy tickets paid a high price to buy tickets from other people's hands, so scalpers were created, who were specifically responsible for buying tickets from those who had tickets, and then selling them at a high price to those who needed them, so as to earn the difference in the middle.
"Li Shilang, the game starts in two moments, do we have to prepare."
Nanxia walked over and spoke.
Li An washed his face, nodded and said, "You go to the stadium first, and the official will go after changing his clothes." ”
After Yun'er and the others helped Li An change his clothes, Li An looked at a few people and said, "You guys also go and cheer for me on the viewing platform, understand?" ”
"Yes, Ah Lang, we know, hehehe!"
All four women grinned.
When Li An arrived at the competition venue, the audience inside was almost full, and there were hundreds of Datang soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order, which could completely ensure the smooth progress of the game.
Li Ang raised his eyes and saw that all the seats were occupied by the surrounding audience, and none of the seats were empty, which showed the love of the local people for football.
"Big brother, today we are opponents, let's see who can win the game."
Li Feiyu also participated in the competition, and also brought several subordinates with better skills to participate in the competition, as if he would not give up if he did not win the championship.
Of course, this is just his joke, he doesn't want to win Ang Lee? After all, Ang Lee's current status is much higher than him, and his prestige is far beyond his reach, in order to maintain Ang Lee's image, he will not win Ang Lee in the Keju competition, just said this, just to create an atmosphere, after all, since the audience has bought tickets, they can't help but play seriously, at least, let the audience see a satisfactory game process.
Li An smiled: "I have to go south to help, are you still afraid that you won't succeed, hahahaha!" ”
This is also a joke, the level of Keju in the south is good, but there is no guarantee that he will win, however, Li An still believes in his own strength, as long as he plays seriously, he should be able to win Li Feiyu's team.
"Look, there are quite a lot of audiences, and there are many daughters of businessmen? We have to perform well, but we can't disappoint the audience, haha! ”
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"What the eldest brother said is, General South, you are not allowed to let me! I've been trying to teach you how well you can keju. ”
Li Feiyu said.
Nanxia laughed and said: "Don't worry, I won't let you, so you can't enter a group, haha!" ”
After some discussion, everyone sat down on a stool next to them and waited for the official start time of the game.
Li An raised his eyes and glanced at it, on the viewing platform in front of him, Yun'er and the others were already in place, they saw Li An's gaze, and hurriedly waved their hands, very excited.
Next to Yun'er are a lot of young ladies, which is also the humane side of the viewing platform, placing male and female audiences separately, so that the occurrence of harassment can be greatly avoided.
Of course, this is also a voluntary principle, if the woman is willing to stay with the man, it is also perfectly fine, but the women's area is set up, and there is no rule that all women who come to the game must stay in this women's area.
