When humans evolved to pass on these skills in the form of games to the next generation, martial arts began to emerge as a primitive educational content and as a primitive physical activity.

Legend has it that at the end of the primitive society, there were several large-scale tribal battles between various tribes in order to compete for the rich plains of the Yellow River Valley. As a result, the original production tools that were inseparable from the military will gradually be separated from production activities and integrated with the military. The former function of serving production has been transformed into the function of serving military warfare.

The complexity of warfare has also promoted the evolution of weapons, and the content of martial arts has become more and more colorful.

The war led to the diversification of weapons, and later the term "eighteen martial arts" was formed. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were mainly Ge, spears, halberds, sages, axes, hammers, knives, swords, cones, daggers, etc., from the perspective of these weapons, they were mainly some long and short instruments common in martial arts.

Among the many martial arts equipment, the most important are: knives, guns, swords, and sticks. The use of spears was also widespread. The defeat of the Qi army, which was killed by Confucius's student Ran You, with a spear in hand, is a typical example at that time.

Ancient Chinese martial arts are not only the needs of war, but also a means to strengthen the body. After the invention of smelting technology, bronze swords appeared, which began in the Yinxi and Zhou dynasties, and had a fairly high level by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The technique of bare hands in martial arts also appeared long ago in this period, that is, boxing. When Guan Zhong was governing the Qi State, he once ordered all localities to nominate those who were brave: "In the hometown of the son, there is the power of fists and bravery, and those who show off their muscles and bones are from the public, and some are told by them" ("Guan Zi Xiao Kuang"). The word "fist bravery" refers to fist fighting.

In the process of long-term continuous practice and practice, the martial arts equipment routines are patterned. That is, the use of various tricks.

In addition to the wrestlers who entered in front of me are one of them. There are also projects that can be said to be more important.

First of all, the first thing to say is the shooting, which is listed as one of the six arts of the gentleman!

The creation of the bow and arrow was a sign of great progress in human civilization, and Siggs said: "The bow and arrow are as decisive weapons in the age of ignorance as the iron arrow is to the age of barbarism and the age of civilization with firearms."

Tens of thousands of years ago, in the Mesolithic period, the climate became warmer. In order to shoot birds, ancient human beings were inspired by nature and accumulated long-term labor experience to create this complex tool - bow and arrow. "Ancient History Examination" has such a record: "The name of the wood is to expand the tree, the branches are long and the birds are gathered, the flying branches will be flicked to the birds, and the birds are flying, so the extension of the tree is the bow." The name is the Bird". It is a production tool created by the ancients inspired by the natural phenomenon of bent branches hitting birds when they bounce up. From the above account, we can know that today's archery evolved from the production tools created by ancient humans.

In ancient warfare, "bows and arrows" were very powerful weapons of long-range destruction, so "shooting" was also included in school military sports in all dynasties.

It's not just that the novels of the past dynasties like to write some marksmen, such as Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng, and even Xue Rengui or Hua Rong under Bao Hong, etc., the previous dynasties have described good shooting. Many of the good shooters have a pivotal position.

The first good shot is the poor Houyi (there is a poor country named Houjun. The number of the king).

Of course. The name Houyi is said to have been given to the archers of ancient times.

In history, there is a Dayi and a Houyi, the former is a figure in the Di Yao period, and the latter is a figure in the Xia Taikang period.

There are many such things, for example, Bian Que has the theory of the divine doctor during the Yellow Emperor period and the sons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

For now, the ancient characters are not in the table.

After Hou Yi, he was his unfilial apprentice.

Xiao Mengxue shot at Yi. The way of righteousness. Thinking about the world, only Yi is better than himself, so he kills Yi.

In the more clear and reliable Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were Yang Youji of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and King Zhao Wuling in the Warring States Period. They were all famous for archery at that time.

Especially after Confucius put forward the concept of the six arts, the world's enthusiasm for archery has also continued to increase, and there may be only a few famous marksmen, but there are many first-class people who are good at archery.

In addition to the relatively practical activities such as archery and wrestling, there are also some activities that are more entertaining and can cultivate people's military literacy.

Just like in the modern army, in addition to military physical boxing, target shooting and other training directly related to force, there are many training will and coordination training items. For example, standing in a military posture, pulling exercises, and so on.

The first thing to talk about here is one of the most popular national sports in the world today - football.

Keju, also known as Keju, is actually ancient Chinese football. "Ju" is a leather ball, "with leather as a bag, but with hair". According to the text, Keju was very popular in China during the Warring States period more than 2,000 years ago.

"Historical Records: The Biography of Su Qinlie" contains: "Linzi is very rich and real, and its people all play the flute and drum, play the piano and build it, and fight cocks and dogs and bow to the six games. This account describes the rich and varied cultural activities of the inhabitants of the capital of Qi at that time, including the Keju opera.

The formation of a sport has to go through a long-term practice process. More than 3,000 years ago, in the Shang Dynasty, China's ancient football was born. China's ancient football, from the aspect of sports, also shows the long history of Chinese culture and the superb wisdom of the Chinese nation.

Keju during the Warring States period was most popular in the Qi country. It is attacked and defended in ranks. Liu Xiangxiao's pre-Qin document "Warring States Policy: Qi Ce" refers to football as "蹋鞠", and the word "蹋" is synonymous with the word "practice". It means to indicate the ranks, which proves that the football competition in the Warring States period was attacked and defended by ranks. In addition to Qi countries, football activities were also prevalent in the Chu State during the Warring States Period.

Of course, football is a useful world sport, and even now it is worth carrying forward.

In addition, there is a movement that can be said to be not worth publicizing, but it has gone through a long history and can still flourish.

Racehorse!

Needless to say, I know all the allusions to the horse race during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Even this allusion involves a few guys who can be described as very powerful attributes, if they can be messed into because of this, it is also a bunker!!

At that time, there was already a betting on horse racing. And in horse racing, I also learned to use tactics. For example, Sun Bin, a military strategist of the Qi State, once offered a plan to Tian Ji and said: "Today, the king is under the donkey and the other is on the horse, the king is on the horse and the middle is taken from the king, and the king is on the horse and the other is under the other." Tian Ji won 2 to 1 and won a thousand gold ("Historical Records: The Biography of Sun Tzu Wu Qilie").

Speaking of which, there is also the imperial in the six arts of Confucius, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period mainly refer to chariots, but with the development of society, it has also become horsemanship.

Of course, today's society has evolved into all kinds of racing cars, betting on horses and the like, so let's not talk about him. Not a good thing anyway! (To be continued.) )
