Chapter 8: Rejoicing in Enemies (Part II)

The boy shot back: "You don't have to be so kind"

Peony sneered, "Oh, yes, didn't you defeat me in front of your men just now?"

The boy said angrily: "Hmph, I was defenseless just now. In that case, why don't we have a good competition?"

Peony said: "Okay, but I have one condition, if I win, you have to worship me as a teacher, three bows and nine knocks are the same."

All the little soldiers talked about each other and said to the young man: This bet is too big. He looked at Peony again and said, "Fairy, do you know this ......?"

Before the soldier could finish speaking, the boy stopped, and Peony quipped, "He, I know your boss, isn't it crab sauce?"

The young man said with a blank face: "What crab sauce?"

Peony said impatiently: "They are shrimp soldiers, aren't you crab generals?"

The young man said disdainfully: "Yes, but what if you lose?"

Peony said confidently: "As long as I work hard and fail, it will not be a foregone conclusion." On the contrary, they are willing to gamble and lose, and everything is subject to disposal. ”

The young man said: "Since this prevents the sword from being eyeless, we can better than Keju." ”

Peony said with a puzzled face: "Is there a multiplayer competition system?"

The young man smiled and said, "I am enough for one person, so I don't need to do anything more." ”

Peony gladly accepted and was willing to accompany him to the end!(Keju was one of the popular sports cultures in ancient times, Keju is divided into two kinds, one is "white fighting.") For "white play" without a goal, two teams each field the same number of players (from one to ten), which can be summed up in another term - fancy keju. "White fighting" is different from the confrontational Keju sport, and the Keju form featuring fancy kicking was born. The main forms of "white fighting" are capable of kicking, kicking high, and kicking tricks. "White Kicking" is completely different from the fierce direct confrontation Kicking, with shoulders, chest, back, head, waist, abdomen, knees, calves, tops, toes, heels and other parts of the solution called the next interception number, the three solutions can be based on the different landing points and positions of the ball and temporary combination to become a complete set of solutions, when the formal kicking bow must do their best, kick out a number of tricks. He also said, "It is like a meteor invading the Han sky, like a hanging treasure mirror in the clouds." "The kicked ball went straight into the air like a shooting star, hanging like a mirror in the sky. Playing a one-person field is a performance that shows personal skills, galloping through the village, stepping on the bow in the poor alley", "taking the bow and horse as the business, and the family taking the bow as the learning". Secondly, there was a performative keju. Performative keju is a performance of ball control skills with feet, knees, shoulders, and head to the accompaniment of drum music. Judging from the performances depicted on the Han portrait stones, there are forms such as single kicking with 1 bow, single kicking with 2 bows, and double kicking while beating the drum, and there are technical movements such as kicking, kneeling, flying with both legs, stopping bowing with one foot, and hooking after jumping. Some people call it the "Keju Dance", which is an important program in the hundred operas.

The other is competitive kemari. This kind of Keju is generally equipped with a bow field, the bow field is rectangular, generally east-west, with a large hall that sits in the south and faces the north for viewing, and there is a wall around it, which is called "Ju Castle". The specific method of juju is explained in Li You's "Jucheng Ming" of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "The square wall of the round bow is like yin and yang. Fa Yue Chong right, two six equal. There are many examples: not to be close to each other, not to be selfish, to be calm, not to complain. Ju Zheng is still the same, and he is still in power!)
