Modern people are tired at work, but fortunately, there are many tricks after work, singing, watching movies, and script killing are all projects that young people love to play.
But the ancients worked just as hard, and there were no computers, televisions, and mobile phonesAfter a busy day, what do they need to rely on to relieve stress?
The ancients had a lot more fun than modern people when it came to passing the time.
Many of our entertainment projects today have evolved from ancient times, how many do you know?
— The inventions of the ancients —
In ancient China, the wisdom and creativity of people in the face of stress was breathtaking.
From simple board games to complex "playing cards".They invented many unique methods to relieve stress, which were not only loved at the time, but also left a valuable spiritual legacy for future generations.
Ancient board games such as "Liubo" and "Ye Zi Opera" have become a good helper for people to relax and relax with their unique design and fun.
In 1972, archaeologists excavated a set of bogon tools in the tomb of Mrs. Xin Chai, witnessing the glory of this kind of game.
This is the earliest and most complete game props found in China, in the early years,This game is called "Liubo" and consists of six rectangular bamboo pieces and twelve chess pieces.
Its gameplay is somewhat similar to a combination of flying machines and chess, and the game is constantly advanced in the form of eating pieces.
Perhaps because it is too interesting, many ancients had a deep love for the six fraternitiesThere were even a large number of bouquet tools in the funerary goods.
In addition to the complete Bo tools in Mawangdui that shocked the world, in the tombs found in other places, Bo tools were often unearthed.
Some of them were rotten when they were unearthed, and some were incomplete, The form of tombs has all dynasties, and it seems that the ancients really loved Liubo games.
In addition to Liubo,There is another card game that was very popular in ancient times, and it is the leaf play.
Legend has it that Ye Zi Opera is a game invented by Han Shin to allow soldiers in the barracks to relax.
However, the real historical records that can be examined show that Ye Zi Opera appeared in the late Tang DynastyIt is an elegant entertainment for literati and artists.
Imagine a literati and a writer boating on a lake, with a retinue of servantsInvite two or three friends and beauties to play cards on the boat together, and play to the happy place and write a poem, how decompressive.
In the 13th century, leaf opera spread abroad, and Westerners learned that the way the game was played through continuous evolution, and it became the modern playing card.
If the above game is too ungrounded and the common people can't reach it at all, then there is a way to decompress, which is definitely an existence that everyone can participate inThis game is "Fighting Herbs".
In ancient times, Doubaicao was a way to decompress full of life.
Around the Dragon Boat Festival,Ordinary people compete with each other to find exotic flowers and plants, and in this way release stress and enjoy life.
This kind of game not only satisfies people's pursuit of beauty, but also helps them to free themselves from the stress and troubles of daily life.
Participants in the game walk through the mountains and forests, enjoy the beauty of nature, and breathe in the fresh airCollecting a variety of rare flowers and plants and showing their discoveries also represents the love and joy of life.
As ancient societies continued to change,Dou Baicao has gradually changed his way of playing.
Someone specifically went to find resilient grassThen find a playmate and talk about the two grasses connected, pull each other, whichever side breaks first loses
There are also literati who make a fuss about herbs, and what they pick up that day has to be in the form of couplets to put on two sentences, and they really can't play without culture.
In addition to fighting a hundred grasses, the young and strong ancients also invented "cockfighting".
During the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Longji was definitely the number one player in cockfighting, and he single-handedly led many people to start playing this game, so during the Tang Dynasty,There are many surviving poems that describe the famous scene of cockfighting in the market.
The ancients also created a unique set of stress-relieving lifestyles.
For example, by watching the scenery, shouting on the heights, and chatting with friends, etc., they can forget their sorrows and find more happy and pragmatic ways to decompress.
With so many inventions and creations, the after-work life of the ancients must be not boring.
But those who are interested will always find that these entertainment activities are gamesIsn't it true that after playing for a long time, you won't lose your mind?
In ancient times, in addition to various games, there were many fitness exercises.
These fitness exercises were created entirely by the ancientshas performed in the popular costume drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and some have even spread abroad.
— The fashion movement of the ancients —
How many movements were invented by the ancients? Look at their sports fields, modern people are absolutely ashamed.
Sport has been an integral part of our lives since ancient times.
Whether it's the popular football game in the Song Dynasty, the high-profile kik hitting game during the Three Kingdoms period, or the highly regarded ice frolic activity in the Ming and Qing dynastiesThese ancient "fashion" sports all reflect the high pursuit of healthy life by the ancients.
Keju, also known as football in modern times, has a long history in ancient China.
It is said that it was brought to fire by Gao Yu, the Taiwei of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he also relied on his ability to bow and successfully won the favor of the emperor, all the way to the top.
The origins of Keju can be traced back to the Song DynastyAt that time, Kemari had become a well-known national fitness sport.
In the Three Kingdoms era, the development of Keju went to a higher level, and a new way of playing with performance appeared.
This type of play requires people to use their heads, shoulders, feet, knees, etc. to perform ball control, which adds some of the performative nature to Kemari.
In the Tang Dynasty, Keju was favored by the emperorsThey used the public holidays to promote the sport, which led to the explosion of Kemari.
In addition to Keju, Kik was also very popular in the circle of the ancients.
In ancient times, striking kik was similar to "bowling", and it was also one of the ways for the ancients to decompress in their leisure time.
The history of Kik can be traced back to the time of YaoSome even believe that it originated in primitive societies.
The game is played by placing a "soil" on its side on the ground, and then hitting the "soil" on the ground with the "soil" in your hand far away from it, if it hits, it wins.
As soon as Kik was born, it immediately became the darling of leisure sports of the ancients.
Both the Southern Dynasty poet Xie Lingyun and the Jin dynasty Zhang Xie were once frequent visitors to this sport.
In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", I don't know if you have paid attention to the means of the harem concubines to compete for favor.
Although An Lingrong has a good voice,But after his throat was broken, he immediately found someone to learn how to play on ice, and then danced on the ice to regain his favor.
Ice play as a national winter sport in the Ming and Qing dynastiesIt can be called the early "speed skating" and "figure skating" of the Chinese people.
During the Ming Dynasty, ice frolic became a popular game for the upper classThe children of wealthy families in Beijing often hold banquets on the ice of Jishuitan, drinking and sliding at the same time.
During the Qing Dynasty, Bing Xi became a training program for the armyEvery year, 2,000 skaters perform at the Winter Parade.
Over time, Ice Hip gradually evolved into a performative natureIn modern times, it has become a sport that everyone can learn and participate in.
