Is cuju really the predecessor of football?

Cuju is not football (modern football)

Cuju and football (modern football) are often used for hype and eye-catching. For example, how about the super international Gao Taiwei thousands of years ago?

There is a joke circulating on the Internet:

C Ronaldo retired and Brazilian football has not recovered for 8 years;

Zidane retired and French football 12 did not recover;

Baggio retired, and Italian football did not slow down on 16;

Golf retired, China Football 1000 years did not recover.

Another example is how superb our ancient cuju was, and it also spread to North Korea and Fusang (Japan). As a result, people inherited it very well, that is, their status in Asian football today.

It sounds as if China used to be a country with a prosperous football and a long history. I can only say, don't fantasize (except irony). It is a joke that Cuju is the predecessor of football. Cuju has nothing to do with modern football.

Cuju is not football at all!

We must understand that modern football originated in England and was originally a simulated war to solve the disputes between the city-states. Legend has it that there was a war between England and Denmark in the 1 1 century. After the war, the British found the skull of a Danish aggressor while cleaning up the ruins of the war. Out of resentment, they kicked the skull, 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.

Later, football gradually developed into a "national group" activity that declared peace, and everyone, men, women and children, could participate.

1862, Nottinghamshire, England established the first football club in the world. The first football association was established, which unified the rules of football matches. European history has positioned this day as the birth day of modern football. The football rules formulated this time are *** 14, which is the basis of today's football rules.

Since 1900, the second Olympic Games, football has been listed as an official Olympic event.

1904 On May 2 1 day, the football associations of Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland established the International Football Federation in France.

Starting from 1930, the World Football Championship (also known as the World Cup) is held every four years, which is the origin of modern football.

Cuju, which originated in China, is also a sport of kicking the ball with feet, but it is quite different from modern football in terms of rules and concepts.

Cuju in ancient China was originally a noble game, and it was a fun project with skills as the main content. It is completely different from modern football only in terms of gameplay. Cuju in the Middle Ages had no goal, and its goal was to hit the "ball" into the "welcome". The accuracy requirement was equivalent to that of basketball today. The "goal" presented in film and television is actually the processing of modern people.

Cuju is also different from the "ball" used in football. Cuju is relatively small and has fillers. After all, the technology at that time also made inflatable balls. Moreover, some cuju balls are not prototypes, but may be polygons. Because it can't land, it's inconvenient to make it too big and too heavy. Therefore, in terms of manipulation, cuju is better than football.

However, in the cuju game, because the ball has poor elasticity and small size, it basically belongs to "air manipulation", and the situation of "ball landing" is rare, let alone "ground ball"-even if the ground is flat enough and the ball lacks elasticity, it is difficult to ensure the line when rolling on the ground, and it is even more difficult to stand.

Secondly, because the ball is small, players have the conditions to "stick the ball", that is, to "fix" the ball on their bodies for a long time, such as using skills to make the ball roll back and forth between their shoulders and arms while moving under their feet. The "breakthrough with the ball" in football is mostly that the foot touches the ball for a short time, controlling the ball to move in a small range and marching at the same time; If you want to stick the ball to your body like cuju, even if the rules allow, you can't do a high ball as big as a football.

So golf and Messi are not the same thing at all. What Messi did in the Northern Song Dynasty was purely a spoof.

Don't let the ancients carry the dishes of the national football team!
