Ancient place of origin of soccer:

Soccer is a very old sport, often said to be the Europeans found and the rise of soccer, about the origin of soccer is also a lot of versions of the argument, but the FIFA official statement, ancient soccer is originated in our China. Needless to say, Goliath in the Water Margin, in our country in ancient times there are records, then called “Cuju”, although can not strictly say that this is the prototype of soccer, but, Cuju is indeed the original ancestor of soccer.
You can say that modern soccer originated in England, but ancient soccer, or cuju, emerged in our country as far back as the Warring States period in the 3rd century BC. It is the predecessor of soccer, which is played by kicking a ball with the feet. Cuju has a long tradition in Chinese history, and was once considered an aristocratic social activity and a form of military training.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, Cuju reached a high level and was favored by royalty and nobility. During the Song Dynasty, cuju tournaments gradually became a formal form of competition with specialized venues and rules. The Song Dynasty was the peak of the development of cuju: the cultural atmosphere was more open and the emperor loved it.
The Song dynasty's policy of advocating literature and suppressing the military, the cultural atmosphere is more open and relaxed, a variety of cultures have been able to develop, so I think it is the Song dynasty to implement the rule of literature, so that the Song dynasty was in the era of the cultural atmosphere of openness and tolerance degree is higher, and thus led to the development of sports culture. Cuju culture had a great development in the relaxed cultural policy, not only to meet the aristocrats' need for sports and status, but also to meet the people's need for daily life entertainment, and even became the first choice of women's sports, and became a sport for all to play.
However, with the passage of time, Cuju gradually disappeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the modern sport of soccer gradually replaced the status of Cuju. However, as a part of traditional Chinese culture, Cuju still retains a certain degree of influence, and has been inherited and developed in some cultural activities.
