As early as 20 15, Korea Cultural Relics Bureau and Vietnam, Philippines and Cambodia jointly completed it? Tug of war? Apply for world heritage. So far, Korea has owned 18 intangible assets. As we all know, the traditional culture of China has a long history. According to the existing historical records, tug-of-war has a history of more than 2400 years among the people.
In terms of time, the tug-of-war tradition in China is obviously longer than that in South Korea, and this cultural heritage should belong to our country.
First, let's take a look at China's? Tug of war? History.
Tug of war has a high popularity among the people. It is precisely because of this feature that tug-of-war once became an official Olympic event. When the tug-of-war was successfully applied by South Korea, many netizens expressed their views. Cockfighting? 、? Kicking shuttlecock? Worried about other traditional sports, and some people even proposed to do it? Square dance? When applying for a legacy, the words are full of worries.
In fact, history is the best proof. During the Warring States period, Chu was located in the north and south of the great river. Because of its special geographical position, it attaches great importance to the training of its naval team. This water army of Chu is not only well-equipped, but also very advanced in combat technology. They even invented something called. Hook up and refuse? Weapons.
According to legend, this weapon can hook an enemy ship trying to retreat, making it difficult for it to escape. What happened afterwards? Hook up and refuse? From the army to the people, it gradually evolved into today's tug-of-war competition.
In the Tang dynasty, you refused it? It has become an entertainment activity that both military and civilian are willing to participate in.
According to the New Tang Book, people from dignitaries to ordinary people liked tug-of-war very much at that time, so the scale of tug-of-war was very large. During the competition, people will erect a flag in the middle of the rope and draw two vertical lines along the flag. River boundary? . The competition is also dominated by vertical lines, and the two teams pull each other and the rope passes through? River boundary? , is the end.
In "Tang Yulin", it is recorded that the tug-of-war movement entered the court from the folk, and it also aroused the strong pursuit of the royal family. Even Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was addicted to watching this event. He once ordered a tug-of-war in the palace for thousands of people. At that time, the contestants were all strong men, and the scene was noisy and lively, which left a deep impression on many Chinese and foreign tourists who came here.
Secondly, let's take a look at South Korea's? Tug of war? History.
The history of tug-of-war in South Korea is about 400 years, but the Korean government's propaganda and promotion of tug-of-war culture is not inferior to that of China. Today, South Korea still holds a grand tug-of-war competition in towns and cities every year. Since then, this event has developed into an international-scale event with spectacular scenes. According to the official statement of the tug-of-war association of Korea, the inspiration for tug-of-war in Korea comes from weaving.
In ancient Korea, women would bleach and twist cloth when weaving. After these movements were coherent, they arranged tug-of-war as an entertainment project. There are some differences between tug-of-war in Korea and conventional tug-of-war. Generally speaking, the ropes used in tug-of-war in Korea are made of straw. Ropes are divided into main ropes and branch ropes, but the specific specifications are not fixed.
The organizer will determine the length and thickness of the rope according to the number of participants. If there are hundreds of participants, they will choose the main rope with a diameter of about 60 cm, and divide a rope every other meter on average, so there are more than 100 rope. According to traditional Korean customs, folk associations hold small tug-of-war competitions for children on the tenth day of the first month, and then hold large tug-of-war competitions for adult men on the second day.
The winner can not only win the established prizes, but also bring all the tug-of-war ropes used by the losers so that they can go back to the village to hold celebrations.
Of course, there is one more thing to say: Tug of war? Zeng Gui took part in the Olympic Games.
Tug of war, as a team sport, was also selected as an Olympic event in 19 12. At that time, the tug-of-war was very simple, and the contestants were divided into two teams, each with eight people, belonging to the team track and field competition. In the five Olympic Games held after 19 12, Denmark, the United States, Britain and other western countries successively won the tug-of-war competition.
However, after the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium, the International Olympic Committee cancelled the tug-of-war as an Olympic event due to many disputes over competition shoes and athletes' weight standards and restrictions on competition conditions. After many years, the tug-of-war situation turned for the better. In 2002, the international tug-of-war league appeared in the list of members of the National Olympic Committee.
It is reported that the alliance has been committed to promoting? Tug of war? Entering the Olympic Games again, today, their efforts have obviously paid off. Although Japan, South Korea and other countries are applying for the World Heritage? Rob? The behavior is disgusting, but the efforts of the two countries will? Tug of war? The act of pulling back to the international stage is worthy of recognition. Especially in the matter of fighting for tug-of-war to return to the Olympic Games, the two countries can be described as unprecedented unity.
In their application, they mentioned many reasons why tug-of-war should be listed as an Olympic event, such as high participation of the whole people, simple rules and easy media coverage. These persuasive rhetoric will undoubtedly help tug-of-war to return to the Olympic stage.
Finally, what I want to say is: Are neighboring countries still trying to apply for the World Heritage? Tai Chi Chuan? 、? Going? ?
Tug of war? The success of South Korea and other countries in applying for the World Heritage actually reflects our helplessness in promoting traditional sports culture. Because, not only? Tug of war? Is this mass movement adopted by neighboring countries? Rob? Even some other traditional sports of ethnic minorities have fallen into a desperate situation of disappearance.
Chen Xiaorong, director of the Intangible Heritage Research Center of Shenzhen University, said in an interview with the media: Although there are a lot of traditional sports cultures in China, they are related. Intangible heritage? However, the protection work started late. In the past, sports authorities only paid attention to the development of competitive sports, but did not protect traditional sports culture enough, and many related fields were still blank. ?
Gong Liqun, a CPPCC member, said in an interview with the media. Traditional China? Tai Chi Chuan? Maybe it's the malice of other countries? Grab a newspaper? Tai Ji Chuan's neighboring countries, including Japan and South Korea, have started to apply for World Heritage. ? And in contrast, it has been mentioned many times in China? Going? The application for World Heritage has not been put into action.
20 1 1 Liu Siming, president of the National Chess Institute, said that the world-class promotion and protection of traditional sports such as chess and Go have been afraid to start. Because, to complete this work, it is necessary to consult a large number of materials and start complicated and abnormal procedures, and the workload is huge, so the relevant departments have no plans to start the plan for the time being.
In fact, as early as 2007, Han Xianglie, director-general of Korea Chess Institute, said that South Korea would not participate? Going? Apply for inheritance. He said in an interview with the media:? China is recognized as the birthplace of Weiqi in the world, and we will not compete with China. ? It can be said that many traditional sports in China are not only beneficial to people's physical and mental health, but also an important part of China's traditional culture, which should be highly valued by the whole people.
