Briefly talk about the origin of cockfighting

Cockfighting is an ancient chicken breed in my country, with a history of more than 2,000 years. "Historical Records" and "Hanshu" contain many records about "cockfighting and lackeys". In 770 BC, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lu Jipingzi and his neighbor Zhaobo offended Lu Zhaogong with a cockfight, and they actually started fighting with each other. According to the "Chengwu County Chronicle" of Shandong Province: "The cockfighting platform is behind Wenting Mountain. In the third year of King Zhou Xuan (679 BC), Duke Huan of Qi used the Song Beixing meeting at the back of the Song Dynasty to encircle the princes to attack the Song Dynasty. Shan Bohui , it was taken in the northern Song Dynasty, and cockfighting was on it." It can be seen that cockfighting was quite popular among slave owners at that time. During the Wei Cao period, Emperor Wei Ming built a cockfighting platform in the postal capital (now Wei County, Hebei Province) during the Taihe period (AD 297--235). King Zhao Shihu played cockfighting here. There was once a "cockfighting platform" in the eastern suburbs. The poem "Tao, a running horse grabs the space". Chen Hong, a writer of the Tang Dynasty, recorded in "The Biography of the Elders of Dongcheng": "When Xuanzong (AD 712--756) was in the feudal residence, he enjoyed folk cockfighting during the Qingming Festival. When he ascended the throne, he set up a chicken shop between the two palaces, and the parents installed roosters. Thousands of people with fine hair, iron spurs, high crowns, and high tails were raised in the chicken house." This shows how far cockfighting was at that time. Gao Qi of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1336--1374) wrote "Shu Bo Ji Zhe Shi". There is also a historical site named "cockfighting platform" in Baoji, Shaanxi today. It can be seen that the formation of Chinese cockfighting has a long history.
