Keju – a sport that disappeared in China after the Ming Dynasty

author:Debunking the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties

Don't Chinese love football? Wrong, our football history is too long, and it is even about to run through the entire Chinese civilization.

There are many different theories about the origin of Keju, and from the Western Han Dynasty's "Beilu" records, Keju was invented by the Yellow Emperor. After the Yellow Emperor defeated the Xuanyu tribe, he made a keju for the soldiers to play with and use to boost morale.

Some experts say that Keju existed in the Yin Shang period, and the word "pin" in the oracle bone "Hu Pin Dance, From the Rain" unearthed at that time was suspected that the upper "mouth" was like a football, and the lower two "mouths" were as if they were human feet, so the word "pin" represented a person playing football with two feet. Such a claim is one of the guesses.

Keju reached the two Han Dynasties and developed the "Keju Dance", where one person kicked one ball and one person kicked two balls for performance. Later, a competition was formed, and a rectangular bow field was specially set up, and there were also stands for the people of the Han Dynasty to see, collectively known as "Jucheng".

With the popularity of Keju in the Han Dynasty, it was slowly used in military exercises. Keju not only enriched the life of the barracks, but also exercised the physical fitness of the soldiers, "if the army is fine, let the Keju be the highest praise" is the highest praise for the Keju, and the Han Dynasty's Ban Gu also incorporated the Keju into the soldiers' martial arts training skills.

To say that the peak of Keju, it belongs to the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Dynasty run by the Han people themselves, the people are more tolerant, and the policies are generally for the better life of the people, so the general cultural life of the Han Dynasty is relatively rich, people have extra time to carry out entertainment projects, the government has a good governance of the people, the people can eat a full meal, and also have physical strength and energy to participate in various sports projects, so whether a dynasty is prosperous can also be reflected in terms of whether the culture is prosperous.

The military strength of the Song Dynasty has always been criticized by people, although the external record of victory and defeat, but because of the loss of the horse-raising Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and the general direction of heavy literature and light weapons, so in terms of territory, the Northern Song Dynasty is still comparable to preserving the Han people's hereditary residence, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, it directly lost half of the country.

However, in terms of cultural civilization, the two Song Dynasties are also a milestone in China, belonging to the top peak, whether it is poetry and song, pen and ink calligraphy and painting, or some ordinary people's entertainment projects, they are very active.

After Keju reached its peak of mad love during the Tang and Song dynasties, it began to go downhill. After the fall of the Tang and Song dynasties, the Mongols began to occupy the Central Plains, and slowly disappeared from the public eye.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Keju flourished again.

In the Ming Dynasty's "Keju Spectrum", it is specially drawn how one person kicks, how two people kick, three people kick, and so on.

Moreover, the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was also very open, and football could not only be played by men, but also by women.

Small-footed women can't kick the ball, I have posted many times before the article about the problem of foot binding, the Wind of Foot Binding in the Ming Dynasty is not serious, at that time foot binding was called foot binding, the atmosphere was not serious, which should be related to the fact that The Horse Queen is a heavenly foot.

For the aesthetics of the foot, the Han people do have, but it may be a little different from what everyone knows, and the wind of foot binding does not originate from the Han people.

And until the Ming Dynasty, aesthetics were normal.

In addition, there are also records that some of Chongzhen's concubines are heavenly feet, and until the Southern Ming Period, when choosing a maid, do not wrap your feet, I am lazy to find, everyone to search, should be very good to find relevant records, but also can deepen their understanding of this aspect.

Later, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the first decrees abolished in the Han rule area were also foot binding.

The shoes of the Qing Dynasty were physical, and if any of you could find such small shoes in other dynasties, then I would lose the five-body surrender, but I feel that you have no chance, because these shoes have been crowned for five thousand years.

Well, it's a bit far, and back to football.

I can't write well, I can't see it, in fact, I don't have the courage to write articles, in fact, I didn't write anything at all before.

But there are too many things on the Internet that are upside down and non-black and white, and there are a lot of strange theories that I really don't know how they typed out, how they wrote articles, and how they had the courage to send them out.

It was the Ming emperor who killed Keju, but in the looted civilization, we can still see pictures of the emperor organizing football, we can see folk Keju activities, Keju books, and even women's Keju.

Is this a stifle? You didn't strangle after ming's death, but what about the record? Is there a rattailed keju diagram?

Keju is only a corner that reflects the reality of society, but the problems reflected in this corner are shocking. The four great talents of the Ming Dynasty have become absolutely famous, Wang Yangming's psychology has also been cut off, wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and other thinkers have disappeared, firearms have stopped developing, Western science "do not let HAN and MENG get it", and the four libraries are completely published, and the ancient books in the world are dead.

Fang Yizhi's triangular prismatics can divide light into five colors, 30 years before Newton's spectroscopic experiment; the Chinese coking method recorded in "Physics Insight" is 146 years earlier than the beginning of coking in Europe;

Bo Jue made clairvoyant mirrors for firing cannons 15 years before Western European countries.

Sun Yunqiu invented the searchlight 98 years before the Russians made it;

Compared with the achievements of Classical Astronomy in Europe, Wang Xi's astronomical research achievements are comparable, and China is slightly better;

The wheat transplanting technology summarized by Zhang Luxiang in the "Book of Supplementary Agriculture" is 300 years earlier than that of foreign countries;

Chen Sicheng is the world's earliest practice and achievement in the treatment of syphilis with arsenic, which is nearly a hundred years earlier than in the West;

The above is a little information I collected before, directly posted, this is only part of what we can see when this corner is opened.

Now Chinese football is really not contentious, and I don't want to blame anyone, is it that if it continues for hundreds of years, can we now enter the World Cup?

In fact, it may not be, but if it continues for hundreds of years, our mental outlook will certainly not be like this, and our mentality must be so high that we cannot tolerate that we will lose.

I hope that the Chinese people can slowly find our own dignity, not be affected by the demon-style articles on the Internet, self-reliance, and return to the top of the world.

As long as these grandchildren do not restrain themselves, the World Cup will definitely get closer and closer to us!
