In addition to Japanese samurai and AV actresses, japanese people also have a kind of god-like existence - Japanese sumo wrestling.
Sumo wrestling, which is revered as Japan's "national skill", is a traditional sport that Japanese people especially like, and in the concept of many sumo fans, sumo is a very simple and easy to understand sport, there is no complicated knockout match, and the victory or defeat is in just a few seconds.
In addition, in a sense, the unique dress of The Hercules, the crotch cloth, and the naked upper body stimulate the audience's eyeballs and bring extraordinary sensory effects. Even this peculiar visual spectacle has almost become a linguistic symbol of the stereotype of "Japan", famous at home and abroad.
Outstanding sumo wrestlers are loved and adored by the Japanese people, especially teenagers, like film and television stars, and have become famous figures.
1. Why is the lifespan short?
In Japan, the training of sumo wrestlers relies on "budya". There are 53 ministries under the Japan Sumo Association, the supreme leader of the ministry is called "Kinfang" (that is, the master), the pro-party is generally served by a retired famous lute, he is responsible for the Sumo Association, while teaching disciples to learn sumo skills, every year from the national primary school students to recruit students, once selected, as long as the parents agree, eating, wearing, living are all borne by the ministry.
Therefore, the heavier the weight, the more advantageous it is, so sumo "fattening" is also a very important step in training...
Today, let's talk about the arduous process of Japanese sumo wrestlers "fattening".
In order to gain weight, Lux usually uses a fattening method based on diet and sleep.
Usually, sumo wrestlers also eat a lot of rice and stew to achieve a fat body shape. Japanese sumo Yokozuna Aketaro Shirataki consumes 18,500 to 19,000 calories a day through "gluttony", (the only lux who now holds the highest title in sumo wrestling, "Yokozuna", is Shiraho and Nichima Fuji, both from Mongolia.) ）
His standard dinner typically includes:
500 grams of roast beef, three bowls of rice, two fried halibut, two or three fried chicken thighs, 500 grams of butter biscuits, liters of beer, And Japanese rice wine, etc., each meal can be said to have eaten the throat eye.
After a short rest, he also eats some rice balls filled with seaweed and fish. The Japanese food that sumo wrestlers often eat is a hot pot cooked in one pot of a variety of highly nutritious foods , called "Lux hot pot".
Generally speaking, around 11 a.m., lux eat the first meal of the day. The old and young players cook a special dish called "assorted hot pot". The term "ちゃんこ" refers to the whole food of lux, and its origin is the assorted hot pot that is boiled in a pot.
A assorted hot pot with boneless chicken soup as the base, with a variety of meat, vegetables, and fish in it. Ingestion of protein-rich soups and side dishes is already very common. A large sumo can eat a meal equivalent to the amount of food eaten by an average of 5.6 people.
After eating the first meal of the day, the Lux returned to their respective rooms for a nap. This nap is also so that what you have eaten is directly absorbed by the body into fat, so as to achieve the effect of increasing weight.
Then from 6 to 7 p.m., the Lux came back for dinner. This is really a life of eating, sleeping, and dreaming.
Each meal can be said to eat here in the throat and then start sleeping. There is also, do some very intense fitness exercises, and they are also very intense when they practice, fitness exercises are to destroy and tear the tendons and meat, and then let the tendons and meat grow, so most of the players are more than 300 pounds.
Compared to other sports, the life of a sumo wrestler is rather short. Lux people overeat, excessive obesity, easy to suffer from heart disease, cerebral thrombosis, liver function decline and other diseases, because of this "unbearable weight" and leg injuries are commonplace. According to statistics, the average life expectancy of sumo wrestlers is only 57 years.
2. Why is the income so high?
The status of excellent sumo wrestlers in Japan can be said to be noble, and they can even be mixed with high society, so sumo wrestlers in the Japanese impression not only have the reputation of Hercules, but also are generally considered to be truly rich.
Sumo wrestlers are divided into ten levels according to their results:
The mouth of the prologue, the second paragraph of the preamble, the third paragraph, the curtain, the twelve, the front head, the summary, the guanwei, the big pass, the horizontal gang.
Yokozuna is the highest section of sumo wrestlers, and sumo wrestlers with more than ten are called lux, becoming professional sumo wrestlers, and have a large salary income.
The survey shows that the monthly salary of Japanese sumo wrestlers is:
Yokozuna 2.82 million yen (about rmb19.56 million)
Daguan 2.35 million yen (about rmb17.36 million).
Sekiwaki 1.7 million yen (about 125,600 yuan)
Summary 1.3 million yen (about 96,000 yuan)
The first 1,030,000 yen (about 76,000 yuan)
Note: Refer to the Bank of China 2015 China Yen Exchange Rate: 5.23
Sumo wrestling was used as a national ceremony by the imperial court during the Nara period. If you can win a sumo wrestling tournament, the bounty is also very generous.
However, not everyone can become a sumo wrestler, and the recruitment conditions for novices are extremely strict, first of all, in terms of physique, they must weigh 75 kg and their height must reach 1 meter 73.
More importantly, sumo wrestlers have to endure hellish training. Drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited on weekdays, and it is not allowed to go out casually, getting up at 5 o'clock every morning to train, turning off the lights at 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening, day after day, year after year, without any change.
Coaches and students are trained in the same way as the devil. As a result, students will run out of school because of their hardships.
So, don't look at their salaries so high, but in fact, behind every success there are unimaginable efforts, and every glamorous profession has countless thorns under its feet.

Why is that?!
Japan claims that sumo originated in 23 BC, in fact, this is Japan stole from China, sumo this sport in ancient China Qin and Han Dynasty, at that time called Jiaodeng, to the Southern and Northern Dynasties period is called sumo, that is, this time spread to Japan.
Sumo gradually evolved into an entertainment project for the nobility, it is said that in ancient Japan, sumo as a performance, can only be performed to the emperor to see, the average person can not see, fortunate to see a sumo, is regarded as a great honor, so the Japanese folk are very admiring of sumo wrestlers.
In modern times, sumo has gradually become a popular sport in Japan, and the Japanese people have great respect for sumo wrestlers, especially Japanese women, and many Japanese beauties are proud to marry sumo wrestlers.
On the one hand, because of the deep cultural tone of the origin of sumo wrestling, on the other hand, it is actual life, Japanese sumo wrestlers are the highest paid athletes, sumo wrestlers are divided into ten levels according to level, of which the highest level of Yokozuna monthly income is about 200,000 yuan.

So many beautiful women in Japan are vying to marry sumo wrestlers, which is why Japanese sumo wrestlers, their wives are usually beautiful.
4. Survival status of sumo wrestlers
Many of them are sumo wrestlers from rural areas or foreign countries (mostly in Mongolia), who are eager to get rich and become idols in people's minds, so they travel thousands of miles to Tokyo to live in sumo "Budaya" (a place where sumo wrestlers live and train intensively, there are 43 ministry houses in Japan), and live a collective life of eating and sleeping except for 2 hours of training time every day.
At the age of 21, Bai Peng, who won the honor of Yokozuna, has been sitting for 8 years and is still active in television programs, becoming the object of respect and worship of the Japanese people.
In fact, there are not many sumo wrestlers as lucky as Bai Peng. On the contrary, most of them, after filling their ordinary bodies into behemoths for more than a decade, are still unable to be promoted due to poor performance, remain in the unknown for a long time, and are forced to retire after reaching a certain age, facing the crisis of early-onset illness and short-lived.
For themselves, this life can be described as a "gamble". In addition, sumo wrestlers below the level of "ten or two" do not receive a monthly salary from the sumo association, and their lives can only rely on the "ministry house" to provide a not-so-generous subsidy.
Today, the sport of sumo is also quietly changing. In recent years, sumo wrestling has been plagued by scandals and corruption implicated in drug use, gambling and criminal syndicates.
As a direct result, in 2012, the number of Japanese men wanting to become sumo wrestlers reached an all-time low, and the number of spectators plummeted. At the same time, sumo wrestlers from Inner Mongolia and Hawaii began to replace Japanese players for championship status.
Even so, it is a national movement. Broadcasts of advanced player matches usually take place at 4 p.m., when not many people can turn on the TV to watch, except on weekends, so this also leads to a drop in the number of viewers. It's also rare to hear young people talking about sumo these days.
