Chapter 813: Keju and Football (Page 1/1)

Three days later, Zhang Nan also appeared on time on the playground of the military academy, of course, with Zhang Nan, there were also a set of clothes and a leather ball.

After three days of recovery, all the people who had been punished a few days ago have come to their senses. Everyone looked at Zhang Nan and the complete set of clothes behind Zhang Nan and whispered, of course, this time Zhang Nan did not stop them from discussing, but waited for them to finish speaking.

"Big brother, what is this?" Cheng Huaimo said, and pointed to the clothes and leather ball behind Zhang Nan.

"Well, this is called football, which is the Kemari that you often play." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

The legend of Juju was made by the Yellow Emperor, and the Ming "Taiping Qing Words" also recorded: "Taju began in Xuanhou, and the drama of martial arts training in the army was based on leather as the yuan bag, and it was really hair."

It is said that Keju began in the Yellow Emperor and began to be used for military training. Ju is made of leather in a round shape and filled with hair. The Warring States Silk Book has a record that after the Yellow Emperor killed Chiyou, "filling his stomach with a bow, making people cling, and rewarding those who are more".

Zhang Nan didn't know whether this legend was accurate or not, but Zhang Nan knew that this kind of foot sport did start in China.

The word Keju was first seen in the "Historical Records of Bian Que Cang Gong Lie", which recorded: In the Western Han Dynasty, as the "Anling Hanli Gongcheng", because of his obsession with "Keju", although he was seriously ill, he did not follow the doctor's instructions and continued to go out to Keju, and died as a result. This is probably the first person in the world to be kicked to death because of playing football.

Subsequently, the word Keju appeared several times in the Book of Han. However, the Warring States before the Han Dynasty called ancient football "Tsuju". When the life of the people in Linzi, the capital of Qi State, is recorded in "Warring States Policy: Qi Ce", it says: "There are 70,000 households in Linzi...... He is very rich and real, and his people are all flutes, drums, beating, playing harps, cockfights, dogs, six bo, and bows. ”

This passage later also appeared in the "Historical Records: The Biography of Su Qinlie". It means that Linzi, which has become wealthy, has many cultural and sports activities for its citizens, including wind playing, beating, plucked musical instruments, cockfighting, dog racing, playing chess and kicking football. These historical materials show that during the Warring States Period, Linzi, the capital of Qi State, Keju has developed into a popular form of entertainment among the people.

It can be seen that Kemari, a sport suitable for all ages, was still very popular in ancient times when entertainment activities were not developed.

So as soon as they heard Zhang Nan say Keju, everyone immediately became interested.

"Big brother, you said it earlier, isn't it just kicking a bow today? You see, I'm a good kicker. Cheng Huaimo said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I don't dare to say anything else, playing this, I really haven't been afraid of anyone." Li Dejian also said with a smile.

"I know you're all good at Keju, but what we're playing today is a little different from what you're playing before. In order to let you have a good playing experience, I am bleeding a lot today, you go find your suitable clothes and shoes by yourself, and when you are done, come to my place and I will introduce you to the rules. After Zhang Nan finished speaking, everyone rushed behind Zhang Nan to find their clothes and shoes of the right size.

In fact, there is still a big difference between ancient Keju and modern football, after all, in addition to the leisure function, the ancient Keju is still mainly used to train soldiers.

To this end, the Han Dynasty also formulated a relatively complete system. For example, if a special court is set up, it is specified as a rectangle in the east-west direction, and there are six symmetrical "Ju Domains" at each end, also called "Ju Chamber", each guarded by one person. The site is surrounded by a fence. The game is divided into two teams, which attack and defend each other, and the winner is determined by the number of kicks into the opponent's bow room.

But if the people use it for leisure, there are not so many restrictions, it's just a few people scrambling, and there are not too many rules.

As for the origin of football, many international scholars have different opinions. One side believes that Kemari has no connection with modern football at all, after all, kicking something around as entertainment, which is common in every country, cannot be characterized as the birthplace of football.

On the other hand, Kemari is the predecessor of football, and apart from the lack of complete rules, Kemari has all the prerequisites for football. Both of these claims have been inconclusive.

Of course, Zhang Nan wants to make a conclusion about this thing today, Keju is football, football is Keju, and the birthplace is China.

After everyone changed their clothes, they stood in front of Zhang Nan again, and some people wanted to change their clothes in the dormitory at first, but when they saw someone stripped naked on the playground to change their clothes, they simply didn't care so much, and they also got up on the playground.

After all, everyone is a man, no one is less than anyone, no one is more than anyone, so there is no psychological pressure on everyone to change clothes, after all, they are all brothers who have stirred spoons in a pot, not to mention that most of these dozens of people are brothers who have come down from the battlefield back to back.

"Okay, then now I'm going to introduce you to this rule, of course, this thing is not called Keju here, it's called football, if you want to play, just listen to me honestly explain the rules, we only have a playground, but there are small fifty people. There are 22 people on the field every time, so half of them will not be able to play, and if you are punished later because you didn't hear the rules, you will have to queue up if you want to play again. ”

After Zhang Nan finished speaking, everyone pricked up their ears, wishing they had two more ears, they also knew the cruelty of competition, they didn't want to be punished for not playing long on the field, how embarrassing it was.

Zhang Nan saw that everyone stopped talking, so he began to introduce this rule to everyone. After the introduction of the rules, Zhang Nan also divided the group for everyone, fortunately, the football jerseys prepared this time were all separated colors, so the two teams were quickly separated, but each team's substitutes were a little more, but Zhang Nan was not worried, after all, football has a lot more rules to restrict than Keju.

Therefore, it must be a very common thing to be punished later, and Zhang Nan can be said to be very confident that he can let each of these people eat a red card.

"Eh, big brother, don't rub it off, start quickly, I can't wait." After Cheng Huaimo finished speaking, he kicked the football under his feet.

"Okay, okay, you decide for yourself that eleven people will play first, and then find a captain to come out, and come to me after you have decided." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he stood aside, and the people who had already been divided into two groups all formed a circle and began to discuss who should play first.
