Chapter 306 Cuju in the Tang Dynasty is a retrogression in the evolutionary history of football
"Sir, we are in the process of the steel balls you mentioned, but the difficulty is very high. The steel balls are of different sizes and are in the grinding stage. Therefore, you still have to wait for three or five days. According to what you said, the method of thermal expansion and contraction, after inlaying the steel balls, you can indeed make the shaft you need..."
After chatting with him for a while, he mentioned the concept of screws and drew patterns. Anyway, we only know how to make them. As for how to make them, it is not my business. We are not an academician of engineering, so we can only describe them based on what we saw in later generations and our own speculations.
Accompanied by Zhong Hua, the engineering director of the College Construction Department, we came to the college. There were nearly 3,000 new students sent from various roads to the college to study and study. All the new things in the college were unheard of for them. They looked at these neat and white two-story brick and tiles, teaching rooms, and sand table performance rooms with curiosity. However, the sand table performance rooms will not be opened easily for the time being. After all, the inside is full of exquisite things made by craftsmen after great hardships. Naturally, these new students who do not know the importance of the matter cannot be allowed to carry it out. Even the huge toilet made these people amazed.
In addition to a few student groups who have just entered the school and are visiting the college, other new students who have entered the college are undergoing the simplest directional movement and queue training on the playground. It seems that at least so far, the training of the Military Academy has temporarily entered the regular state. In less than ten days, Uncle Li will lead important officials of the court to attend the grand opening ceremony of the Academy.
I bypassed the noisy playground, along the way, whenever the students who were temporarily rested, they stood attentively when they saw me passing by, and I would also return the gift gently, occasionally asking about the life and study status of the new students. Well, it was a bit as bold as the director of the school where I was in the future.
The Loyal Soul Temple is built directly opposite the school platform, at the door. The huge plaque is written by Uncle Li. Since I asked Uncle Li to write the inscription many times, this extremely narcissistic imperialist leader seems to have become addicted to it and has to draw two strokes whenever he catches. Even the big words in Li Shu's Gaoyang Princess Mansion are also from Uncle Li's handwritten books.
Entering the gate of the Loyal Soul Temple, wherever you see, there is a huge, towering giant pillar. At the top of the giant pillar is a bronze statue, cast according to Uncle Li's reins and holding the sword. It has a very lifelike appearance. Uncle Li's eyes are stern and powerful, with his lips half open, as if ordering the soldiers to advance forward with a solemn appearance. The long sword is pointed straight ahead, and the cloak is swept up. The three hooves of the BMW under his crotch landed on the ground, one of the front hooves raised, the horse's head is neighing, and the horse's legs are attached.
Nearby, all the soldiers were all about the figures of soldiers. No one fully portrayed their appearance, but anyone could see their loyalty and courage at a glance. Under the guidance of the great Emperor of the Tang Empire, Li Shimin, he was striving to rush forward. A dynamic bronze statue with symbolic and artistic significance was first placed on the canvas by Yan Daguo, and then handed over to the craftsmen to carefully carve the mold. It was formed in one glance, with a proportion of nearly a life-sized person and weighing more than 500 kilograms.
The giant pillar below is carved with Uncle Li’s handwritten book: The nameless loyal soul of the Tang Dynasty will last forever!
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
He wrote a handwritten handwritten with silver and iron paintings. He bypassed the stairs of the quadrangle behind this nameless Loyal Soul Monument. After entering the courtyard three times, there will be handwritten handwritten by generals with outstanding achievements in the Tang Dynasty and important officials of the court in each courtyard. It also expresses their respect for the founding martyrs of the Tang Dynasty to this Loyal Soul Temple.
"By the way, how are you preparing for the military version?" Looking at these rooms that were temporarily empty, only the innermost room was celebrating a small number of heroes, all of whom were famous and surnamed. Only then did I remember a big event. Military cards, without this thing, the Loyal Soul Temple would be an empty shelf. Of course, I also didn't want these rooms to be filled with martyrs' tablets.
"In the process, all the old students in the Military Academy have made military cards, and new students are being issued one after another. In addition to their names and birth dates, they also have their hometown address and sons in their family, all of which side are engraved on both sides of the military version." Zhong Hua replied immediately.
"Well! I have to hurry up this matter. There are still ten days left, and it will be too late." I nodded with satisfaction. Zhong Hua is very capable and is very serious in doing things. As long as he continues to command everything, he will definitely be able to find ways to complete it. In this regard, Duan Yunsong is a little inferior.
"Master Fang, it's not that the generals are not doing their best. There are too many things to do. All the officials at the level of the school lieutenant gather together to read and recognize words every night. Once they get busy, they don't have the end. Only one person can do that. There is no such effort..." Duan Yunsong wrinkled his face, feeling very bitter.
I glared at him: "Isn't this a big deal? Apart from the old students, none of the new students can sing all the military songs. You must hurry up and let the new lieutenant-level officials set an example, and the old will lead the new ones to help and teach. How much can this cost? Besides, General Xi is now familiar with the process and rules of the academy. It should not be difficult for you to help each other. Please implement them quickly. Otherwise, if your Majesty still does this on the day of the show, huh, when you are old, you will ask your father to report it yourself, or squat in the confinement room, and you will choose your own choice..."
"The last general, the last general obeys the order..." Duan Yunsong was about to say goodbye with helpless expressions. At this time, I was attracted by the figures flying on the grass on the playground: "What are those people doing? Playing football?" I was very curious. It seems that those guys are playing football? It's too magical, right? I haven't invented this thing yet. Could it be that there are time travelers here again?
"Sir, this is not football, this is called Cuju. Everyone is now having sex and playing." Duan Yunsong next to him quickly explained.
"Cuju?!" I couldn't help but say in surprise. Isn't this the predecessor of football? I walked over with great interest and stood on the sidelines to watch. I was so dizzy. This is not a football game. It is clearly a round shuttlecock kicked with feet, which can also be called a volleyball match. Duan Yunsong on the side explained enthusiastically that he sewed the round ball shell with eight pointed skins, and the shape of the ball became even more round. The second was to plug the hair into an animal urine bubble, "shush and blow it away", and became an inflatable ball. There were sixteen people on each side, and two three-meter-high bamboo poles were separated in the middle.
To use the network and goal to match the ball, the goal is to use the goal separated in the middle to win by the one with the most shots. Duan Yunsong is also a fanatical fan, and he is well aware of the history of Cuju. This thing seems to have become popular in China before the pre-Qin period. However, in the Han Dynasty, it was directly against the team, and the players on both sides were similar to those of later football players. In the Tang Dynasty, it evolved into this semi-elegant movement. It was very sad and it was a regression. Well, for the fierce physical confrontation sport of football, it was a huge regression.
"Stop! Stop me!" I can't stand it anymore, I need to change. The correct statement is that I need to join and get this great sport back on track.
"I've seen Master Yuanzheng!" The group of soldiers who were having fun saw the arrival of Master Yuanzheng, and several were quietly preparing to leave, as if they were afraid that I would catch them on the charge of losing their ambitions.
"Stop me, no one is allowed to leave, everyone stands in front of me, you, yes, it's you, give me the ball!" The student handed the Cuju to me, it was light, very light, and he was so elastic. It seemed that he was really not suitable for being violent football.
"Everyone likes to play this, right? You are having fun during breaks. Fang will not punish you at will. Just answer my questions honestly." I took the ball and turned it in my hand. It was good, and the texture was very good. It gave me two ideas. Yes, there were two ideas. One was to continue this kind of elegant ball activity. Of course, I don't agree with this kind of activity held in the college, and playing women's volleyball. The college is full of passionate men, so I should play this kind of ball activity in a more intense way, that is, football. The intensity of the confrontation is very beneficial to their growth and understand the power of the group.
We have to think carefully, throw the ball back and signal them to continue, and hold Duan Yunsong, who is still watching with great pleasure: "Brother Duan, ask you something, where is the ball made?"
"There are several in the city in the west city!" Duan Yunsong's answer made me very curious. I didn't expect that the Cuju movement was spread so widely in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise there would be no shops for making balls.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Okay, Brother Duan, go and do your business, Fang said goodbye!" After making up his mind, he rushed towards the office with a breeze, drew sketches, and made a ball. Then he would formulate a more detailed rule. I believe that as long as he is a man, there is no activity that only requires a simple venue and is easy to vent his emotions and physical strength, which is very beneficial to these students.
