Hello everyone, today I would like to share with you an exciting topic - Animal Games! Have you ever heard of it? No, I'm not talking about the sporting events of the human world, but the fierce competition of the animal kingdom! Yes, even those small animals that usually look docile and harmless have the passion and courage of humans!
First, let's go back to ancient times and explore how the ancients held the "Animal Games". You might think of cockfighting, and yes, the little guy can fight in the dark! The ancients used cockfighting as a form of entertainment and even held cockfighting competitions in the court. According to the record of "Zuo Chuan: Twenty-five Years of Zhaogong", as early as 517 BC, the archives of cockfighting already existed. What's even more interesting is that the cockfight actually involved a palace battle and political conspiracy, which can be described as a "bloody case caused by chicken feet"! These stories also directly influenced the trajectory of Confucius's life, and became the inspiration for his later Confucian theory**.
And not just cockfighting, in ancient times there were sports such as quail fighting and bullfighting. According to legend, there were records of fighting quails in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty, quail fighting reached its peak. Although the quail is petite, its fighting spirit is not inferior to that of other animals. Bullfighting is an ancient and fierce sport, and unlike Spanish bullfighting, Chinese bullfighting is a celebration in which two cows compete against each other.
Today, these ancient sports traditions continue today, with various animal games such as cockfighting, quail fighting, bullfighting, and more being enthusiastically sought after worldwide. From cockfighting in China's Central Plains to bullfighting in Spain, these events demonstrate not only the bravery and strength of animals, but also the recognition and respect for nature by humans.
The Animal Games is not only a competition, but also a celebration of vitality and vitality. Let's cheer on these little athletes!
