Sumo wrestling is known as the national essence of Japan, also known as wrestling and horn, but in fact it originated in China.
Sumo was the grand finale of the court banquet entertainment of the Song Dynasty, and it was also the most important program in the Song Dynasty's comprehensive commercial entertainment venue Washe.
Sumo had a broad mass base in the Song Dynasty, and every time there was a sumo wrestling competition, "tens of thousands of incense palaces, lined up like fish scales on both sides, and the roof of the corridor was full."
In beijing, Hangzhou and other cities, artists perform sumo wrestling programs every day. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the most famous sumo wrestling masters in Hangzhou were "Zhou Qiankui", "Dong Qiankui", "Wang Qiankui", "Saiguansuo", "Red Hair Zhu Chao", "Zhou Busy Looking", "Zheng Da", "Tie Xiaogong", "Han Tongzhu", "Yang Changzu" and so on.
According to the Nihon Shoki, there were female sumo wrestlers in Japan, and during the reign of Emperor Xiongluo, he "ordered the palace women to take off their clothes, remove their skirts, and wear them to shield them, so that sumo wrestling could be done." However, compared with the Song Dynasty, it is much inferior.
The Song Dynasty also had female sumo wrestlers, naked on the body to play, super sexy. Song Renzong once watched the "Woman's Nude Play (Sumo Wrestling) in front" with the public in public.
According to the "Records of Dreams" and "The Past Events of Wulin", there have always been female sumo wrestling competitions in the Washe Gou column in Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty: "The sumo wrestlers in Washi, the Luqi people (folk artists), gather first-class partners to try their hands." First, the female floppy (that is, the female sumo wrestler) is used to play the condom, which is watchable, and then the wrestler competes. ”
"Tokyo Dream Hualu" and "Dream Liang Record" also include the names of several female sumo wrestlers in Hangzhou Washe: "Sai Guan Suo", "Huan San niang", "Black Fourth Sister", "Han Chunchun", "Xiu Le Shuai", "Jin Le Shuai", "Sai Mao Duo", "Yu Liu Niang", "Hou Yu", "Female Hurry" and so on. These female sumo wrestlers, like male sumo wrestlers, competed in the "watts and counties" and made a name for themselves.
"The Past Of Wulin" calls these female sumo wrestlers "female biao", referring to the fact that their tricks are unpredictable and their body style is as fast as the wind. Unfortunately, the apologist Sima Guang wrote a book entitled "On the Sumo Of the Shangyuan Order Women", asking the emperor to ban it, proposing that "in the future, women should not gather in the street market to play a play."
Due to the strong public opinion suppression of Sima Wei daoists, the women's sumo game that was popular in Kyoto has since been greatly reduced, so that it eventually disappeared.
