Which of the top ten luxury sports in the world have you played?

However, luxury goods probably have two essential factors, one is high cost, and the other is related to the nobility, or have historical origins. Therefore, we have summarized such a list of luxury sports. Please don't doubt some of them now? Civilian sports, you know, in those days, these sports were absolutely only played by nobles!

1 Golf

Even today, golf is still a game for a few people. Is it really because of this sport? Born? It's so outstanding!

1567, Mary, Queen of Scots, was severely criticized for playing golf shortly after her husband Lord Daley was murdered. Golf, an ancient royal sport, was popular in Scotland long before that. As we all know, St. Andrews University was founded in 14 1 1 year, and it was already playing golf in St. Andrews. There is ample evidence that even a century ago, some form of golf appeared.

As we know today, the history of this sport is the record of Scottish golf. But there are also people in Europe who object to this statement, mainly France and the Netherlands. The Netherlands claims that their evidence is that the movement of their stick and ball is called "colvin"; France is "jeu de mail". But they just don't have the simplest and most unique factor of golf: the hole. Golf is hitting the ball on the court, and there are designed obstacles on the court. These obstacles prevent the ball from flying into the air from the starting point and then moving to another point, which ends with the ball entering the hole. This is the uniqueness of golf.

Second tennis

Ball game is a beautiful and intense sport: the origin and development of tennis can be summarized in four sentences: it was born in France and Britain, and it began to spread in the United States and reached its climax. Now it is popular all over the world and is called the second largest ball game in the world.

Because the most primitive tennis originated from the court, it is understandable that the scoring method is based on local materials. They keep score with a movable clock. Every time they score a point, the clock turns by a quarter, which is 15 (a quarter). Similarly, if they score twice, they set the clock to 30 minutes. Of course, everything is based on their convenience. This is the origin of 15 minutes and 30 minutes.

As for 40 points, it's strange. Not a multiple of 15. This is because in English, 15 is pronounced as "fifth" and 30 is pronounced as "thirty", which is also disyllabic; However, 45 o'clock, pronounced "forty-five" in English, has become three syllables. At that time, the British felt a little awkward and did not conform to the principle of "convenience", so they changed it to 40 minutes and two syllables. This is the origin of the seemingly illogical 40 points.

Although this way of grading seems strange, it still follows the tradition and has been used to this day. After all, everyone is used to this way of scoring from the stadium.

No.3 polo

Polo, historical name? Bow? 、? Hit the ball? Wait, the sport of riding on horseback and hitting a wooden ball with a long-handled mallet.

Polo was very popular in the Tang Dynasty, which not only became a sport for emperors and nobles, but also played an important role in foreign cultural exchanges. According to the literature, the neighboring countries such as Bohai Sea, Korea and Japan at that time all recorded polo matches with the Tang Dynasty. At present, there is a scene depicting the polo match between Tang and Liao countries in the "Map of the League of Neighboring Bridges" in the Palace Museum (painted by Liao, Chen and He). The picture is based on the meeting of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, and Li Jie, Turk Khan, in the ninth year of Wude (AD 626) at the Weishui Temporary Bridge in the west of Chang 'an. In the picture, several knights fight with their horses and sticks for a goal. The scene is quite warm and spectacular.
