Billiards are made of stained glass. The birthplace of billiards is an English inventor: look at the following sentence. Hehe, look who invented it. I hope it helps you. Billiards has a history of five or six hundred years. Where did billiards originate? Some say it's ancient Greece, some say it's French, some say it's Britain, some say it's China, Italian and Spanish, etc., but they are all based on legends, so it's difficult to determine. However, it is an indisputable fact that billiards originated in western Europe. Billiards14th century, in the era of Queen Victoria in England, people attached great importance to billiards activities. In some wealthy families, there are not only luxurious and exquisite billiards rooms, but also strict activity etiquette when playing, and some regulations are still in use today. If a guest comes while playing, you must gently open the door and enter the room. You are not allowed to talk and shout loudly, so as not to affect the players' quiet thinking. For example, when playing ball, you can ask the other side not to stand in front of you or get close to you, and you are not allowed to wave clubs and other uncivilized actions. Billiards is an elegant activity. Now, billiard halls and rooms have similar clear rules against loud noise and smoking. Billiards appeared in France in 15 10. The billiards played by King Louis XIV of France at Versailles are "single billiards". Put an ivory arch (Port) and an ivory column called "Wang" on the table, and play with a spoon-shaped stick. It is feasible to divide the ball when it touches the door or the door. Because the physician of King Louis XIV of France suggested that the king play billiards after meals, which is good for health, it was loved and cared by the king of France. Therefore, billiards gradually became popular in France in the 17th century, which may be the basis of the origin of billiards in France. It is said that billiards was originally a game of digging holes in the outdoor ground and hitting the ball into the hole with a wooden stick, and then it was changed from outdoor to indoor desktop. Billiards has a history of hundreds of years since it appeared. It is not perfect as soon as it appears, but has been constantly improved and enriched in the long-term circulation, and now it has reached a relatively perfect level. In the past, playing on an indoor table started with a round hole in the center of the table and then four holes in the four corners of the table. The increase of holes also stimulated people's interest in playing ball until six round holes were opened on the table. It evolved into the prototype of today's snooker table. In the development of the table, there is an octagonal table with holes on both sides. There are eight holes, and the number of holes has increased. A ball can accommodate more people. /kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, the development of billiards began to mature. With the improvement of technology, equipment and appliances have also developed, and many large and small improvements and inventions have appeared. As for the billiard table, the original table is an ordinary wooden table. Because the wood is deformed due to the climate, it is difficult to ensure the flatness of the table top, which directly affects the play of hitting skills. 1827 or so, the tabletop is made of slate, and the high quality tabletop is smooth, flat and undistorted. At first, the edge of the table was wrapped with wool or cotton and nailed to the edge of the table for use. Because there is no elasticity, it can only play a role in buffering the impact. It was not until 183 1 that rubber began to take its place. 1835, Phelan, USA, 1854, semi-sand Poland, USA successively improved and invented regular rubber table edges with good elasticity. Who invented and improved the leather head of the club? There are two legends: one is/kloc-the bald stick used in the early 9 th century is the French soldier Minquart stationed in India. When he was punished, he was forced to practice for a long time. He found that the bald head of the stick was not easy to use, so he added a piece of skin to it. After the experiment, he began to promote it. Another way of saying it is: the leather head was invented by the famous French billiards player Miguel, and the chocolate powder was invented by Britain to prevent the club from slipping. The "ball" used in billiards also has a development process. The earliest billiards were made of wood or brass. Later, inspired by Indian ivory ornaments and advanced instruments, ivory was also selected as billiards material. One ivory can make five balls. According to the demand at that time, it is estimated that there are more than 10 thousand elephant teeth to solve every year, and the amount used is really considerable. Because billiards require high quality, roundness, the same weight of each ball and high price, only a few royal nobles can enjoy it, which seriously hinders the popularization and development of billiards. Until 1868, billiards developed widely in western countries, and the demand for balls increased greatly. A billiards company in new york volunteered to offer a reward of $ 1 10,000 to collect substitutes for ivory balls. At that time, Heath, known as the father of American plastic industry, successfully developed plastic billiards by chemical method, which promoted the revolutionary change of billiards manufacturing industry. At the same time, it has also made great contributions to the development of billiards. Therefore, Heath was also elected to the Hall of Fame by the American Billiards Association. At first, billiards was played with only two balls on the table. By 1775, the French added a red ball and the British followed suit. At this time, there are three balls on the table. This kind of play is called "opening", and the batter can score by putting the opponent's ball into the goal bag or hitting two balls at the same time. This game is the original game of three-ball snooker that we are playing now, that is, English billiards "Billie", an American billiards game, which was introduced from Spain through Florida in 1504. 1607, the British brought billiards to Virginia. 1690 The French who moved to South Carolina also brought billiards to the United States. At that time, although billiards was introduced to the United States in various ways, it did not develop rapidly until 1800. After years of research and development, until the middle of19th century, it made great contributions to the improvement and perfection of billiards technology, game methods and rules, until it created a major school of American billiards in the world, keeping pace with French billiards and English billiards, and now it has become popular in the east and west. The World Billiards Union was founded in 1940, which is an international organization of billiards activities. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium, and its administrative center is in Barcelona, Spain. The World Billiards Federation is responsible for the world billiards competition. Many countries in the world have developed billiards activities and established billiards associations. More than 30 countries have joined the World Billiards Federation, all of which are members. The American Billiards Association was founded in 1948, which is the highest governing body of all kinds of billiards in the United States. The meeting place is in Chicago. 1965, the Association established the Billiards Hall of Fame to preserve the important information in the history of billiards and the glorious records of outstanding people.
