Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1933: Datang athlete in plate armor

In the stadium of Jinling University of Technology, thousands of people are cheering for the polo players who are going to the field!

In the stadium, more than a dozen riders dressed in two different clothes galloped on their horses, waving the clubs in their hands, trying to hit the ball that was rolling fast on the ground into the opponent's goal.

The scene is extremely intense and even spectacular!

Watching this kind of polo game gives people the illusion of watching the cavalry fighting each other. In fact, polo is basically similar to the fighting between knights. It is intense and spectacular, but it also means huge risks.

A number of referees kept their eyes open and paid attention to the situation on the field. When there was any foul or accident, they would blow the whistle without hesitation and forcibly stop the game.

Avoid a repeat of last year's stadium accident.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the Guozijian University polo team and the Jinling University of Science and Technology polo team were invited to the court for a match.

In front of the Son of Heaven, the Crown Prince, dozens of other members of the royal family, and more than 2,000 dignitaries, two polo players collided at high speed, causing one death and one serious injury.

Afterwards, the Son of Heaven severely criticized the relevant officials, believing that they one-sidedly pursued polo's viewing pleasure, but seriously neglected the safety of the players.

Afterwards, the Ministry of Rites conducted formalized management of various colleges and universities and various sports clubs spontaneously established by the people. The first thing was to formulate strict rules to prevent the occurrence of various tragic accidents.

However, the rules are not made to limit, on the contrary, to make polo more rationalized, popularized, and even professionalized.

Datang didn't play sports because of his idle time, but mainly for the sake of etiquette.

This newspaper is boasting about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty every day, and the Tang Dynasty has indeed smashed the world, and the confidence of the people of the empire is bursting.

But after all, it is also a prosperous world. When hard power comes up, soft power has to keep up.

Hard power is naturally guns and battleships! There is no doubt that the Tang Dynasty can hang the earth ten times.

The soft power is also very strong. The culture of the Tang Dynasty is unmatched by other regions. However, most of these cultures are traditional cultures. As a new dynasty, the Tang Dynasty needs its own things.

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty has already begun to support new types of literature and art.

For example, the government and schools all over the country must be forced to use standard Mandarin, and those who violate it will be severely punished.

And it adopts the unified standard Mandarin phonetic and punctuation marks that are easier to learn, making it easier for people to read and recognize characters.

In addition, it also promotes popular literature that is easy to understand. This is mainly because the traditional classical Chinese literature is too high-end for ordinary people to understand.

That's why there is such a thing as popular literature, such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and the recently emerged Journey to the West are all easy-to-understand popular literature.

And these easy-to-understand texts can be picked up by a primary school graduate in the Tang Dynasty, and they can read these popular articles without any obstacles.

The popularization of popular literature has a great positive effect on the shaping of the values ​​of the imperial people and the guidance of public opinion.

Therefore, the cultural development of the Tang Dynasty has been quite good in the past ten or twenty years, and a large number of excellent literary and artistic works have been actively produced. Among them, the cultural support of the Tang government has also contributed a lot.

However, the support of the Tang government also depends on the situation, and the support is all works with correct three views.

The reason why I say it is just right is because the Tang government is also very reserved. If you write a book and say that the Tang Dynasty is so powerful, the Holy Son of Heaven is so powerful, and the government is too lazy to pay attention to you.

However, if you exaggerate around the corners, for example, although the surface seems to describe the love story of the hero and heroine, but the side depicts the prosperity, greatness and advancement of the contemporary Tang Dynasty.

Then the officials of the Culture Department of the Ministry of Rites would be happy to see it.

Similar to the story of a poor scholar who reached the pinnacle of his life through his own efforts and married Bai Fumei, what does this mean?

This shows that our Datang has a vast room for improvement. As long as you work hard and work hard, you can become a superior person.

This kind of public opinion orientation is very happy to see the Ministry of Rites.

How should I put it, everyone is a decent person, so you have to be a little more reserved, don't be too blatant in boasting, and you have to be a little more reserved.

The Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty promoted literature, but at the same time did not forget other things, such as drama, music, etc., in addition to sports.

Yes, in Datang, sports affairs are also the responsibility of the Department of Culture.

In the early days, the military promoted some fiercely confrontational sports in the military according to the traditions of the past few hundred years. On the one hand, it was to make the soldiers happy, and on the other hand, it was also to cultivate team awareness.

Mainly polo and football.

These two sports are actually sports against extreme distances. Needless to say, polo is played on a horse, which is intense and even spectacular.

It has always been a sport designated by the military and the court. In the past decade or so, the Tang court has organized polo competitions. Each army unit takes the army as a unit and organizes their own polo teams to participate in the competition.

However, the high cost of professional demand for venues, horses, and riders has made it impossible to popularize among the people, that is, only a few colleges and universities have organized polo teams.

Among the folks, they play more of the step ball.

Step ball is actually a polo without horseback riding. Although it does not ride a horse, the gameplay is similar, and this kind of step ball has been improved by the Datang military.

With the urgency of the Tang military, these sports have never been for entertainment, but to cultivate the sense of bravery and teamwork among soldiers.

Therefore, the modified step **** of the Datang military are extremely confrontational.

On the surface, it seems to be similar to the hockey of later generations. They all use a stick to hit the ball, but in fact, the confrontation and intensity are not on the same level. A very important point is that in the military's improved step ball rules, Reasonable collisions are allowed.

This also leads to a tee shot, and an attack usually only lasts for a few seconds before a timeout is called, because at that time, it is often a tumbler~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Those who have no physical fitness will have to play. Was directly knocked out!

People who don't have the guts will be scared to death before they even play.

It is precisely because the improved step ball that allows reasonable collision is more dangerous and intense, so this improved step ball needs to wear professional armor, otherwise, you will have to break a rib when someone hits it!

What kind of armor did the infantry players of the military infantry team wear at the beginning?

Full body plate armor!

The polo players of the early military polo teams also had full body plate armor.

Back then, when the Army did these polo and step balls, it didn't think much about sports attributes, and more focused on cultivating the tactical literacy and teamwork spirit of the soldiers.
