Sports, as an indispensable part of human life, have always been adding color to our lives. From playing shuttlecock and table tennis when we were young, to basketball, football and other sports when we grow up, sports have accompanied us and brought us endless joy and challenges. This week's reading of the Xi is Aaron Gutman's book From Rituals to Records: The Essence of Modern Sport, and I believe that everyone has an indissoluble bond with sports. In our lives, what comes to mind when we think of sports?The first thing is to exercise, right?Then there is sports competition, in fact, the comprehensive value of sports is also enriching our lives, and the value of all aspects of sports is changing and improving our quality of life, and even promoting the development of social civilization.
The emotional value and aesthetic value that sports provide. Endorphins and dopamine produced by exercise are known to relieve stress, eliminate negativity, stimulate the spirit, and maintain a good mood. The year before last, Liu Genghong set off a wave of movement in China, "The fat on the waist clicks off, and I want the mermaid line vest line!.""I'm also in this army, enjoying the joy of sports......The "Pamela Endorphins Aerobics" brought by the German girl lasts 5 days a week, and you can gain a tight and toned body in 15 minutes a day!The aesthetics of the people have gradually changed from being thin to being able to appreciate the beauty of muscle lines. Nowadays, outdoor sports have quietly entered our lives and become a new fashion favorite. On weekends, take a tent to camp, go out of the city to feel the nature, look up at the stars with family and friends, and empty the body and mind, sports have brought us not only health value, but also aesthetic and emotional value.
The social value and shared value that sports bring to us. In this Internet era, people have become Xi to information contact, and two people face-to-face are even so afraid that they need WeChat contact. But sports bring us together, such as basketball, the basketball game organized by our training class in the previous period was very concerned by everyone, and my class 8 also won the first prize. In basketball training, you need to work closely with your teammates to complete offensive and defensive tasks together. Everyone has their own position and responsibilities, and only when everyone works together can they perform at their best. Through the sport of basketball, we are taught how to communicate and collaborate with others, which can have a positive impact on everyone's Xi and work.
For example, football, do you remember the visual feast brought to us by the women's football team in the Asian Cup final in February 2022?When we fell behind South Korea 0:2, it was not only the women's football players who were not discouraged and did not give up, but also the hundreds of millions of Chinese in front of the TV, and finally we won the championship 3:2Of course, sports are all over the world and shared by all mankind, and the same is the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Argentina defeated the defending champion France with an aggregate score of 7:5 and took off to win the Hercules Cup after 36 yearsAt the opening ceremony of the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, Syria's appearance applauded thunderously, and the enthusiasm and gentleness of the Chinese people moved the world
The entertainment value and consumption value that sports bring to us. Human civilization is progressing, and we can already pay for our hobbies and spiritual sustenance, including sports.
We are willing to spend money to buy tickets to watch a game, willing to feel the shock of sports competition on the spot, feel the beauty of sports art, from the Olympic Games to the Asian Games, from the World Championships to the World Cup and other large-scale events, the stadium is full, and the ticket price is not cheap has not stopped people's enthusiasm, sports has such a charm. The well-known American professional baseball "Super Bowl", an event is equivalent to the Spring Festival Gala in the United States, 200 million people gathered**, and the comprehensive consumption reached 16.5 billion US dollars.
Nowadays, sports have become a new paradigm of our lives, a link of social communication, a platform for emotional catharsis, and a way to pursue aesthetics.
