Chapter 691: The Bow of the Bow Country
"Brother, why do you call Master Beigong like that......" Duanmu Shuitang wanted to accuse Xin Ran of being disrespectful to his master, but he didn't know how to say it for a while.
"Hehe, brother, don't be surprised by this. ”
Xin Ran grinned and said: "I and Mr. Beigong, although we have the truth of passing on the arts, we have no name of master and apprentice. He called me little one, and I called him old one. The two of us are year-old buddies who don't talk about anything. ”
"Then tell me, what did Mr. Beigong teach you in Keju?" Princess Lina asked with a roll of her eyes and great anxiety.
The word Keju was first seen in the "Historical Records of Su Qin Liebiography". When Su Qin lobbied the king of Qi Xuan, he praised Lin Miao and said: "Lin Miao is very rich and real, and his people are all blowing rods, drumming, and bowing." Keju is also known as 'Juju', 'Juqiu', 'Juyuan', 'Zhuqiu', 'Kicking Circle', etc., 'Keju' is to kick with the foot, 'Ju' refers to the leather ball, Keju is to kick the ball with the foot, there are three ways to directly attack, indirect to attack and play white. Therefore, those who bow are mostly masters of playing the flute and drumming. My teacher, Mr. Beigong, who does not have the name of master and apprentice, is the king of Zhu and Ju. This statement is evidenced by my brother Duanmu. As for whether it's right or not, I don't know, my sister just asks Brother Shui. ”
When Xin Ran said this, he paused, and began to talk endlessly, in a low tone:
Keju is an ancient sport in the Wuji Empire, and there are three forms of Keju competition: direct confrontation, indirect confrontation and white fighting. Keju games with goals can be divided into direct games with double goals and indirect games with single goals. There are two types of direct competitions in the double goal. There are all Ju Castle, or stadiums. The course is rectangular in an east-west direction, with short walls around it.
One is that each side has a goal, and each side of the game has a goal that looks like a small house, and there are 12 players on the field. The other is that at both ends of the court, there are six symmetrical "Ju Domains", also known as "Ju Chambers", with 16 people on each side. The two sides engage in a confrontation of direct physical contact, just like a war, and the one who kicks and bows into the opponent's goal wins.
The indirect confrontation of the single goal is an evolution of the double goal competition.
In a single-goal game, the goal is set in the middle of the city, and there is a "merry eye" with a diameter of more than two feet in the middle of the goal, and the two sides are on one side, and in the case that the ball does not land, the one who can pass through the merry eye wins.
A loose kick without a goal is called a blank kick. Because it is not limited by the venue, it has the most people and the longest history. There are various forms such as one person to ten people.
White play is mainly the game tricks and skills, also known as the game "solution".
Each set of solutions has a variety of kicking movements, such as crutches, kicks, rides, kicks, twists, etc.
In addition to the above, there are many ways to juju, and there are "juju" for the number of times the game is high.
There is a net hanging in the middle of the field, similar to the "white play" of net football.
There are many people involved in the "Yueju". There was also a goal-setting game.
In this way, each team has a certain number of people and a fixed position, and the players can only play in their own positions and cannot move.
Later generations once found a list of appearances of the Infinite Empire Keju:
There are 16 people in the left army: Zhang Jun at the head of the ball, Wang Lian at the seesaw ball, Zhu Xuan at the head, Shi Ze at the head, Ding Quan on the left pole, Zhang Lin on the right pole, Hu Chun on the san and so on.
There are 16 people in the right army: Li Zheng, the head of the ball, Zhu Zhen of the seesaw, Zhu Xuan, Zhang Ning, Xu Bin of the left pole net, Wang Yong of the right pole net, and Chen Jun of the scattered position.
It is called by later generations: the first football "starting list" in human history.
By this time, Kemari had been passed down for thousands of years.
It is said that Keju was invented by the Yellow Emperor of Middle-earth and was originally used to train the army. Later, it spread to the people. At this moment, it has reached its peak!
In Tianzhou City, there are often "the ball does not fall all day long, the ball does not leave the foot, the foot does not leave the ball, the garden is watching, and thousands of people admire", which is an unprecedented scene.
Kemari has flourished for thousands of years, and the craft of making balls has continued to improve.
At this point, a spherical shell made of two pieces of skin has long been changed to a spherical shell sewn into a circle with eight pieces of pointed leather. The shape of the ball is more rounded.
The second is to change the hair stuffed in the spherical shell to put animal urine bubbles, "shh It was a thousand years earlier than the inflated ball invented by the British in later generations.
The appearance of balloon blowing has also made the ball more diverse. The balloon body is lighter, and it can be kicked high. The goal is set on two bamboo poles three feet high, which is called "netting for the door to measure the ball"......
Because the ball is lighter, and there is no fierce running and competition, there is a women's keju. The kicking method of women's keju is that without using a goal, it is possible to kick high and kick tricks, which is called "white play".
There is a record that says: "The clothes are four colors, embroidered Luo wide shirt, tied with brocade belt, kicking hydrangea, the ball does not leave the foot, the foot does not leave the ball, the garden is watched, and ten thousand people admire." ”
Regarding Keju, there are many records and praises of Tang and Song poets and poets in Middle-earth. The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei said in the poem "Cold Food in the East of the City": "The juju repeatedly passes over the birds, and the swing competes out of the weeping poplars."
Look at how high this ball is kicked! The poem "Qingming" by the poet Saint Du Fu also said: "Ten years of juju will be far away, and the custom of swinging for thousands of miles is the same...... The Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You also described this grand occasion in the poem "Spring Festival Gala Pavilion": "There are 100,000 families in Liangzhou in the cold, and the swings and bows are still luxurious. ”
Keju is fanatical to this extent, it is really a few happy and a few sad.
Gao Yu was promoted to a wealthy official because of his good "white fight", and he got glory and wealth.
And his predecessor Tang Xizong, because he was immersed in juju cockfighting, abandoned the government. The last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Zhaozong, was forced by Zhu Wen to move from Chang'an to Luoyang. On the way, the six armies ran out, and only a group of Shence troops and "playing ball offerings" were left to follow him.
The most famous ball man in the Wuji Empire at the moment, there are Su Shu, Meng Xuan, Zhang Jun, Li Zheng and so on in the court. The football artists in the market tile include Huang Ruyi, Fan Laoer, Xiao Sun, Zhang Ming, Cai Run, etc. All of them have unique skills. The so-called "100,000 kicks on the foot, hundreds of thousands of solutions".
Playing in white, use a complete set of kicking skills such as head, shoulders, back, chest, knees, legs, and feet to make "the ball never fall all day long".
These people are good at playing and use good balls. All are the latest inventions.
The spherical shell developed from eight pieces of pointed skin to "twelve pieces of fragrant bark".
The raw material is "cooked nitrate yellow leather, and the real material is lightly cut". The process is "densely sewn and sewn, without revealing the corners of the line". The weight of the ball should be "twelve taels". The emphasis is on "breaking and rounding".
With these people as the center, it was organized into the world's first football club. It is called "Circle Society". The one who holds the bull's ear in the Circle Society is the "Qiyun Society".
"Is what this little villain said true?" After listening to Xin Ran's introduction, Princess Linna asked Duanmu Pond in disbelief.
"Hehe, it's the head that is sprayed on the mouth. I just don't know what the real skills are. Duanmu Pond sneered.
