Why did football originate in China, but China failed to develop?

Football is the abbreviation of football or football match. Of course, it also refers to the use of the ball in football matches. Football is an ancient sports activity with a long history. Cuju, an ancient ball game in China, originated at first, then spread to Europe by Arabs and developed into modern football. Many countries regard football as a "national game".

Football is dominated by feet, but you can also touch the ball with your head, chest and other parts. A sport in which two teams attack and defend on the same field. A wonderful football match has attracted thousands of viewers, and it has become an important part of TV programs. Reports on football news occupy the pages of various newspapers and periodicals all over the world, and now football has become an indispensable part of people's lives. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 800,000 teams that regularly participate in competitions around the world, and there are about 40 million registered athletes, including about 65,438+10,000 professional athletes.

Intergenerational football

Football is highly antagonistic, and players use all kinds of actions allowed by the rules in the game, including running, stopping, turning, falling to the ground, jumping and bumping, to compete fiercely with their opponents. The length of the competition, the number of spectators and the size of the venue are beyond the reach of any other sport. Traditional football consists of 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons, with a total of 32 skins. Football matches are divided into 1 1, 7, 5. The age groups are u 15, u 17, u 19 Olympic group, adult group and youth group respectively.

[Edit this paragraph] Origin and development

Ancient cuju football is an ancient sports activity with a long history. It originated from Cuju, an ancient ball game in China, and later spread to Europe through Arabs, and developed into modern football. Therefore, the hometown of football is China. It is said that before the Middle Ages, the Greeks and Romans had already started playing football. On a rectangular court, they put the ball on the white line in the middle and kicked it to the other court with their feet. At that time, they called this game "Baja Storm". Modern football originated in England. It originated from a war between them and Denmark in the12nd century. After the war, the British saw the head of a Danish soldier on the ground. Because Britain hated Danish soldiers very much, it kicked them in the head. By the beginning of19th century, football was quite popular in some countries in Europe and Latin America at that time, especially in capitalist Britain. It was not until 1848 that the first written rule of football, Cambridge Rules, was born. The so-called "Cambridge Rules" are some rules formulated by three universities in London, Oxford and Cambridge in the early 9th century. At that time, each team had 1 1 people. At that time, there were ten students and a teacher living in each dormitory in the school, so a dormitory-to-dormitory game was played, with each side having 1 1 person. At that time, the current 1 1 football match began. 1863101On October 26th, the British Football Association held a very important meeting in the history of modern English football. The return of the competition was drafted, but some terms are far from today's rules. For example, there was a rule at that time: when the ball entered the space between goalposts or crossed the space above, no matter how high it was, as long as it was not thrown, hit or transported by hand, it was considered as winning. At that time, the position and formation of players were also different from today's: each team had a goalkeeper, a defender, an avant-garde and eight forwards. Soon after the rules were made, the formation changed: one goalkeeper, two defenders, three avant-garde and five forwards. So there are eleven players in the last game. However, many data show that the appearance of ancient football in China is earlier than that in Europe, with a longer history. In ancient China, football was called Cuju or Tuju, both of which meant kicking, and Juju was the name of the ball. The word "Cuju" first appeared in Historical Records, Bielu by Liu Xiang in Han Dynasty and Biography of Meicheng by Yan Shizeng in Tang Dynasty. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, "Cuju" was very popular and became an elegant activity in the court. 1958 in July, Dr. Havelange, former president of FIFA, came to China and said that football originated in China. Of course, due to the limitation of feudal society, the ancient cuju activity in China did not develop into a modern football sport based on the principle of "fair competition". This qualitative leap took place in capitalist Britain.

The first recorded fan

Xiang Chu was the first recorded model in the Western Han Dynasty, but his experience was unfortunate. According to Records of the Historian Biography of Bian Que and Cang Gong, Chunyu Kun, a famous doctor, treated Xiang Chu and told him not to overwork, but Xiang Chu didn't listen and still went out to play football. As a result, he vomited blood and died, which also made Xiang Chu the first fanatical "fan" in the world.

The first starting list in history

The Old Story of Wulin in the Southern Song Dynasty once listed the names and positions of the two teams in the "Thirty-two-player Ball Building" competition: "Sixteen people in Zuo Jun: Zhang Jun, Wang Lian, Zhu Xuan, Shi Ze, Ding Quan, Zhang Lin and Chun Hu. ; Sixteen members of the right army: Li Zheng, Zhu Zhen, Zhu Xuan, Zhang Ning, Bin Xu, Wang Yong and Jun Chen. This is probably the first football "starting list" in history.

The history of football

In 307 BC, that is, during the Warring States period, King Wuling of Zhao reformed and practiced "riding and shooting", and Zhao people learned to ride horses and shoot arrows. Wang Zhao often rides out of town with his cronies, which is very spectacular. One day, when I came to a forest, I saw some rabbits in the forest. As soon as the king opened his mouth, he "captured him alive", so the soldiers divided into four ways and caught him together. I don't want to be scared. Rabbits ran around and escaped from the flat seam of the horse, but found nothing. Everyone shook their heads and sighed. A counselor suddenly brightened up and came forward to offer advice: "Your Majesty, this kind of containment is very interesting. We might as well use the ball instead of the rabbit and play every day without leaving the palace. " "Good idea" Wang Dajia praised "this matter is in your charge". Thus, football was born in China. But I was still riding a horse, called Cuju. In the Han Dynasty, there was a football field dedicated to competitions, which was called "Cheng Ju". Cheng Ju is rectangular, with six megalithic chambers at each end, which are in the shape of a moon cave and symmetrical to each other, and there are walls around the venue. The Tang Dynasty was a prosperous period of Cuju activities. During this period, not only has there been great development, but football has also begun to be exported to the outside world. The first place to land is Britain. Cuju was originally exported as a complete product, but because the traffic was underdeveloped and the means of transportation was very backward at that time, after several months of long journey, when Cuju arrived in England, the horse was exhausted and only one ball was left. However, it is such a dance that Britain still regards it as a treasure, which is limited to the exclusive activities of the royal family and prohibits people from enjoying this kind of entertainment. 1 1 century, the Danes invaded England. One day, when the British were digging a battlefield, they accidentally dug up the skulls of several Danes. The British people were furious at the thought of the crime of Danish invasion. They lifted their feet and kicked their skulls hard to relieve their anger, and they felt quite happy playing football. As a result, more and more British people who dug the battlefield took part in the "ball" kick, and a group of children kicked it when they saw it. However, they found that the skull hurts when they kick, so they switched to cow bladder blowing-this is the birth of modern football. This patriotic act touched the king of England. In order to reward the people, the king of England ordered the royal football to be opened to the people. Soon, football spread among the people and became a popular sports and entertainment activity. /kloc-At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a football match in England. Competition is an entertainment activity, twice a year, usually held between two cities. The host threw the ball into the air and the game began. The two sides will jump together, shouting, kicking and hugging. Whoever can kick the ball to the downtown area of the other side is the winner. If the ball rushes into a resident's house halfway, the players will rush in and disturb the kicking method, often smashing things in the house, and the owner has to sigh for his bad luck. Pedestrians on the road will encounter unexpected trouble when they touch the ball. So, at that time, when the game came, people had to avoid disasters and close their doors until the game was over. Such a football match was strongly opposed by the public, and the British government issued a ban: it was stipulated that football matches must be played in open spaces, and those who entered downtown areas would be severely punished, so special football fields appeared. 1863,101October 26th, the English Football Association, the first football organization in the world, was established in London with unified rules, and modern football was formally established. In ancient China, kicking the ball with feet was called "Cuju". As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago, there was the Cuju movement. In the Western Han Dynasty, Cheng Ju was built for competitions. The Tang Dynasty was the prosperous period of Cuju activities. The ball filled with air replaced the ball filled with hair in the past, which was called "air blanket", and the goal replaced the bow room. In the west, after 10 century, some countries, such as France, Italy and Britain, had football matches. By the end of 15, it was called "football", and then it gradually developed into a modern football sport. 1863, 10/0 On October 26th, the British established the first football organization in the world, the British Football Association, and unified the rules of football. People call this day the birth day of modern football. There are 14 football rules made this time, which are the basis of today's football rules. Since 1900 2nd Olympic Games, football has been listed as an official Olympic event, but professional athletes are not allowed to participate. 1904 on may 2 1 day, FIFA was established in Paris. Since 1930, the World Football Championship (also known as the World Cup) has been held every four years, and the restrictions on professional athletes have been lifted. Since then, modern football has developed day by day. In medieval England, football became a keen activity for many young people. They run after the ball in the narrow street and often kick the ball to the windows of people in the street. So the king of England had to ban playing football. From12nd century to16th century, the king of England issued a "football ban" four times. However, due to the special charm of football, the ban failed to make it die. 1835, the world's first football club was established in Sheffield, England. 1863, the first football association in England was established. Since then, organized football under certain rules has spread from Britain to Europe and the world. /kloc-at the end of 0/9, football was quite popular in western European countries. 1896 In the first Olympic Games, football was listed as one of the events. As a result, Denmark beat Greece 9-0 and became the first champion in the Olympic football match. 1904, the football associations of Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland established the International Football Federation in France, and in 20 10, Ge Lan was elected as the first FIFA World Cup President.

The reason why football has become the first sport in the world.

First, the essence of sports: football itself embodies the characteristics of human sports, and the sudden start between athletes is like a sprint; Goalkeepers jump up and down and jump sideways, just like jumping events; Those athletes with good flexibility hang a gold hook upside down and jump to the top, like gymnastics; The reasonable collision between two players is a bit like the expressive force and aesthetic feeling of football ... Second, popularization: low requirements for football participants are an important reason. Players who play football, unlike other sports, do not have the big problem of being tall and thin. For example, football, the small one must suffer a big loss; Basketball is the world of "long people" Football, on the other hand, provides all the children in the world with the opportunity to have a "superstar dream". 3. Unpredictability: The contingency of football match results is an important reason for the fanaticism of fans all over the world. Because in the football world, there is no absolute strong team. Liverpool may be "knocked down" by an unknown second-division team or even an amateur team. Brazil, which was piled up with stars, was defeated by Japan, which was still immature at that time, in the Olympic football match. 1966, North Korea, a "third world" football team, once defeated Italy and entered the quarter-finals of the World Cup. In the just-concluded World Cup warm-up match, China unexpectedly defeated the French team, the runner-up of the last World Cup and the former world champion. Therefore, in a football match, you never know the result until the last moment. Handsome guy: Handsome guy on the football field is the reason why football has become "the first sport in the world". There is a simple reason. The girls are worshipping and desperate to go to the stadium to watch the ball (mainly to watch people). Can their boyfriends not worry? Even men who are not interested in football should follow their girlfriends to the stadium. The most important thing is to keep an eye on your girlfriends and prevent them from being taken away by those "sweetheart" on the court. V. Environment: Fans, like diners, have a mouth-watering football feast, but the atmosphere of "eating" is better. Lively, atmospheric and spectacular, these football fields have them. Compared with the sultry badminton hall and a small table tennis table, the wide court is magnificent and exciting. Six, freedom: tens of thousands of fans together, hilarious. To be honest, if you want to watch the ball quietly, who will? Controversy: "The biggest charm of football is controversy." A farsighted old man said a farsighted sentence. This old man is former FIFA President Havelange. Yes, if football matches are all "dead" and mechanical, then football will lose its great charm. Just because the referee is a person, he may misjudge, take bribes, manipulate the game and so on. This has caused great controversy and more people's attention.

The birth of modern football 1893 The time for spectators to watch the game was from the 8th century to19th century. The predecessor of modern football exists in Europe in various ways. Until 1863, Britain established the first formal football rules, which also marked the birth of modern football. A boy's impulse19th century, football was restored and widely developed in some colleges in Britain. At that time, there were no uniform rules for football matches. The competition will be held in a rectangular venue, and the time and number of participants will be temporarily agreed by both parties. When the ball kicked into the opponent's goal, it scored. During this period, Cambridge University, Hatton College and New Clifton University all had their own ways of playing, and no one thought of unifying the rules of football. At that time, the most unlucky people were the "notarized mediators" who were the predecessors of the referee and were responsible for recording the number of goals and mediating disputes and disputes. However, due to the lack of uniform rules, these mediators are always difficult to convince the public and are often chased and intercepted by dozens of people in the audience. A boy's impulse changed everything. 1823165438+1October 2 1 day, in a game, a boy named William Webb Eszli, aged 15, suddenly picked up the ball with his hand and rushed to the opponent's court to launch an attack. This action later triggered a big debate about football rules, and people realized that it was necessary to formulate unified football rules. In the debate, the party who agreed to use both hands and feet gradually developed the game into today's rugby, while the party who insisted on using only feet began to explore and establish modern football rules. Modern football, the first sport in the world, was born in pubs. London queen street Masonic Tavern is the birthplace of modern football, and a landmark meeting in the history of football was held here. Before 1848, Cambridge University tried to create a rule about football matches. Although it has not been recognized by the public, uniform rules have become a consensus. 1863101October 26th, representatives from1kloc-0/London clubs and colleges held a meeting in the Masonic pub to formulate rules and create an authoritative football organization, which is also recognized as the birthday of modern football. At the meeting, the debate about the rules was fierce. A few people, represented by Gamber, insisted on using both hands and feet, and the final voting result was 13 to 4. The landmark rule that hands are not allowed in modern football has been passed. To this end, Gambo and others left angrily and later established the Rugby Federation 187 1. The Masonic Tavern also established the English Football Association at this meeting of the Masonic Tavern, and recorded the first unified football rules in the world in writing. Two months later, on February 26th, 1863 18, the FA held another meeting in a small hotel in Misa Street, Crewe, London, and refined the rules of football to 14, and began to promote football nationwide. 1 1 Clubs and colleges attending the Masonic Pub Conference: Forest Club (later renamed Rangers); Gilborn; Barnes; War office; Crusaders; Pasival; Black Hayes Club; Kensington College; Soapy; Blake Hayes College; Crystal palace.

] Modern football first appeared in England in the 9th century/kloc-0. As mankind entered the 20th century, so did football. Whether it is the legendary enemy on the battlefield or the fact that ten thousand people play a football together between the two cities, it has become a thing of the past. Modern football is about to begin, and has gradually formed a professional league. 1903, Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain and other countries discussed the establishment of an international football organization, but Britain, as the birthplace of football, was not enthusiastic. But football began to spread in Europe and America. In Italy, British immigrants established the Genoa team as early as 1893, 1899, and the British and Italians joined hands to establish today's green giants-AC Milan, 1899. Italy also founded the Federal Championship, which won six times in Genoa in the previous seven sessions, and AC Milan/KOOC-0/90/KOOC-0/won the championship. In South America, football was also brought here by British sailor and immigrant Thomas. Sir Lipton founded the Lipton Cup, which became a competition between Uruguay and Argentina on both sides of the La Plata River. The most famous football leagues now are the five major leagues in Europe. Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1)
