Chapter 246 Football flourishes in China

Let's talk about Xuanwu Jun in Bianliang, Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, a son of Fulangpo who settled down, his surname is Gao, and he is the second in the ranking.Jingshi has a smooth population, so he is not called a sophomore, but everyone calls him a golf ball.Later, when he got rich, he removed the word "Balloon" from "Wang Bang", added "Liren", and changed his surname to Gao Mingqiu. ... When Gao Qiu looked at it, he saw that King Duan was wearing a soft gauze Tang scarf on his head, a purple embroidered dragon robe, and a pair of civil and military fringes around his waist. Phoenix boots, three or five small yellow gates accompanied by kick balls.

Gao Qiu didn't dare to go over and charge, and stood behind the crowd to wait.It is also Gao Qiu who should make a fortune, and luck has come; the balloon soared up, and Duan Wang couldn't catch it, and rolled into the crowd to Gao Qiu's side.When Gao Qiu saw the balloon coming, he had the guts to use a "mandarin duck crutch" to kick back Duan Wang.King Duan was overjoyed when he saw it, and asked, "Who are you?" Gao Qiu knelt forward and said, "The youngest one is accompanied by Captain Wang; he was ordered by the East to send two kinds of jade and playthings to present to the king. There is a book here, and I worship you."

After hearing this, King Duan smiled and said, "Brother-in-law really cares so much?" Gao Lian took out the book and presented it.Duan Wang opened the box to look at the playthings, and handed them to the waiting officer to take them away.The king of Duan ignored the whereabouts of the jade plaything, but first asked Gao Qiu, "You know how to kick balloons? What are you calling for?" foot." Duan Wang said: "Okay, you will come off the field and play a round." Gao Qiu bowed and said, "What kind of person is the young one, who dares to set foot with King En!"

Duan Wang said: "This is the Qiyun Society, and it's called Tianxiayuan, but it doesn't matter if you kick it." Gao Qiu bowed again: "How dare you." Three times and five times to say goodbye, King Duan insisted on him, so Gao Qiu had to kowtow and apologize, and let him go.Only a few feet, Duan Wang applauded, Gao Qiu had to use all his life skills to flatter Duan Wang, his identity, appearance, this balloon was glued to his body like swim bladder!Duan Wang was overjoyed, he was willing to let Gao Qiu go back to the mansion, so he stayed in the palace overnight.

... In the last two months, Emperor Zhezong passed away without a crown prince, and all officials, civil and military officials, deliberated, and appointed King Duan as the Son of Heaven, and named him Huizong. After ascension to the throne, nothing happened. Suddenly, one day, he said to Gao Qiu: "I want to promote you, but you must have meritorious service before you can be promoted. First teach the Privy Council to be named with you." .After that, within half a year, he promoted Gao Qiu to serve as a Taiwei in the Palace Commander's Mansion. This is based on the description of Gao Qiu's fortune in the classic classics. From a street rogue, he rose to the top and became the "Taiwei of the Palace Commander".It seems that Gao Lian's ability to play football with both feet is the biggest capital for his fortune.This is not a novelist's fiction. Football in ancient China was actually very developed. Of course, there are still many differences between football at that time and modern football.

Football is the most global sport, and the earliest birthplace of ancient football is in China.However, the football at that time was not called football, but "Ju".As early as the Warring States Period, football games were popular among the people.Football became a method of training sergeants in the Han Dynasty.Hussar General Huo Qubing once set up a stadium outside the Great Wall and led the soldiers to participate in football matches during the interval of fighting against the Huns. In the Song Dynasty, football was more common.There is a picture of "Song Taizu Cuju Picture" painted by Song people, which vividly depicts Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, together with minister Zhao Gui. Bianxi, Shanshan, Weiwei, Bianyan, Yunka, Jiaoshuo, Changyuan, a certain pool?Not only did the emperors and generals like it, but there were images of men and women playing football painted on the bronze mirrors and pottery of the Song Dynasty, which shows that people in the Song Dynasty, regardless of men, women, or children, loved Cuju very much.This is very similar to modern people's obsession with football.
