Baseball, that is, a ball sports event that plays with a stick. It is known as the "combination of competition and wisdom", and is a collective sports event that combines wisdom and courage, fun and collaboration.
Baseball matches have a minimum of 9 players. The players are divided into offense and defense, and the match is played in a diamond-shaped baseball field. In baseball games, everyone has the opportunity to be a "controller", but they need to have a full judgment on the overall situation -
When you run freely, when you motivate each other with your teammates, when you discuss tactics together, they are all moments of creating miracles.
Baseball, also known as "wild ball" in Japan, has always been a sport that is loved by Japanese men. It became popular in the early 120th century. The modern professional baseball system began to be established in 1950. Now many Japanese players play for the Major League Baseball team.
In addition, the high school Kokoyuan baseball tournament held twice a year in Nishimiya City, Hyogo Prefecture has become a popular audience in Japan. Baseball has become the most popular professional sport in Japan and is known as the Japanese national ball.
Kaziyuan has become a holy place that represents Japan's youth and ideals. The world-renowned Jiaziyuan in Japan has held 104 baseball games so far, and it is often hard to get a ticket. Youth and passion have become synonymous with it, and its popularity is comparable to the NCAA basketball game in the United States.
. Fly to Jiaziyuan, the 104th Summer Baseball Tournament
Speaking of Japan in summer, " Summer Festival り", "Firefire Conference", "Sea Bath", "Watermelon Cutting" and other limited activities are one after another. However, the hottest thing here is of course the boiling cheers on the summer court of Jiaziyuan.
Jiaziyuan What? What does it mean?
Fighting in Jiaziyuan, take you into the Japanese baseball holy land!
甲子園（こうしえん）一野球（やきゅう）の聖地（せいち）
（甲子园—日本棒球的圣地）
“甲子園（こうしえん）”全称“阪神甲子園球場（はんしんこうしえんきゅうじょう", located in Nishimiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, it is the earliest and largest baseball stadium built in Japan, capable of hosting more than 47,000 spectators.
was founded in 1924 (Kazakhsin year), so it was named Kaziyuan. This stadium is not only the home court of the Japanese Hanshin Tigers, but more importantly, it was the host of the Japanese high school baseball championship, and the spring trials and summer knockout matches were held at this stadium. Even the name of this stadium can represent the highest stage for high school students in the country.
What does Jiaziyuan mean? It is a dream theater, with white clouds and black soil and sweat. In order to realize the dream, high school students across the country gathered here, from more than 4,000 teams to only 49 teams remaining, competing for the only championship. In order to win and to be able to represent their own region, they are in the final. In the competition stage, we strive hard.
"Entering the Jiaziyuan!" is the supreme wish of countless high school students with baseball dreams.
Matsusaka Daisuke, Matsui Hideki, Suzuki Ichiro , Darbi Shuyu, Otani Shohei ... ... These players who represent Japan in the major leagues have all left their sweat on the Kokoen arena.
and there is only one team in each region ( Hokkaido and Tokyo are both 2 teams) to be eligible to enter the Kokoen Stadium . Therefore, it can be said that it is more than 40,000 high school baseball selections that participate in the annual competition. The greatest dream of hands is also their greatest honor.
After layers of competition selection, they finally stepped into the team of Jiaziyuan, where they shed their most passionate youth. sang school song sang after winning, the soil scooped after losing, and the air defense alarm sounded before and after the game, witnessing the sweat and dreams of generations.
"Kasuyuan" has also become synonymous with the "Japanese High School Baseball National Competition". The final competition of the Jiaziyuan is held in August every year, so it is usually called "Xia (なつ)の Jiaziyuan".
022 104th Summer Jiaziyuan Baseball Championship, Sendai Yuying High School defeated Xiaguan International for the first time to win the championship, and it is also the first Jiaziyuan championship in the Northeast region!
This year's summer Jiaziyuan (National Colleges and Universities Wild Football Selection Conference) is the 104th session, and it has been 107 years. Over the years, so many competitions, all kinds of weird things have happened, but there is a big curse that has not been broken in 100 years, that is, the Northeast has never won a championship.
915 The first Hakara, Akita Naka lost 1-2 to Kyoto No. 2 Middle School in the final. Unexpectedly, Akita representative once again broke into the Hakara final, and the first time was 103;
Not to mention that the fellow villagers of the six counties in the northeast are eagerly looking forward to the Sendai Yuying breaking the curse and ushering in the first Kaziyuan championship in the Northeast region. Even the people who are not concerned about other places also sent their sincere blessings to Sendai Yuying, hoping that they can help the Northeast region realize their dreams for a century.
This year's Xiaguan International is also very magical. They are not traditional baseball schools, and this year is the third time their school has entered the Jiaziyuan main competition in more than 50 years of history. The best result before was in 2018, when Jinzunong got angry. They reached the quarterfinals of the quarterfinals and were reversed by the strong school in West Tokyo and dug the soil and went home.
is right. In the game where Xiaguan International eliminated Osaka Kiriyuki, Xiaguan International also contributed an extremely rare scene of one-goal and three-kill in a baseball game. Is this the first time in Jiaziyuan’s 100-year history that it’s so exciting? Among the top four teams of
, fans voted for Xiaguan International, but such a problematic student army looks like Xiangbei High School in "Slam Dunk".
As the annual Japanese baseball event, the summer Kokoto competition starts from the local conference to the final decisive battle, adopting a cruel single-elimination knockout system, Osaka Kiriege, Tomoebe Wakayama, Tokai Dasaki, Ryugaya Daiheian, these traditional wealthy families with legendary stories, and the heroic stories of primary schools such as Kinzuno defeating the strong with the weak, the craze set off in Japan is comparable to the basketball championship of the United States.
Japanese national TV stations NHK and ABC TV stations under Asahi Shimbun broadcast the entire game. The host of the game Hanshin Kaziyuan Stadium is even hard to find. Many Japanese teenagers regard being able to enter the national competition held at the Hanshin Kaziyuan Stadium as their dream of youth, and even players who can play in Kaziyuan will pack the iconic black soil in the stadium in cloth bags as a souvenir for their lifetime.
Of course, from the Kokoyuan arena, some famous professional baseball superstars have also emerged. The most representative of them is Matsusaka Daisuke, known as the "Heisei Monster". In the semi-finals of the "National Colleges and Universities Balance Ball Players' Rights Conference" held in 1998, Yokohama met with the PL Academy of Kokoto, and Matsusaka took the starter and fought with the opponent's ace pitcher Shigesho (played in the 7th game) until the 17th game to win, with a total of 250 goals. He played as an outfielder in the semi-finals, and in the final championship game, Matsusaka showed great power, becoming the second pitcher in Kaziyuan's history to shoot a no-hit match. Daisuke Matsuzaka later transferred from the Japanese professional baseball Seibu Lion to the Boston Red Sox and helped the Red Sox win the 2007 World Championship.
2. Baseball was introduced in Japan and developed national sports
Baseball (Baseball ), which is one of the ball sports events. It is a competitive event that uses bats to hit the ball to fight offense and defense.
Modern baseball was born in the United States, and the development history of American baseball can be equated with the development history of modern baseball. However, as the sport was introduced to Japan, it embarked on a completely different development path and evolved into a baseball culture with great Japanese national characteristics.
In the face of foreign things, the Japanese never lacked the ability to "localize". In the early days of baseball's introduction (around 1872-1889), baseball was introduced to Japan as an imported product, and initially emerged and developed between universities; the establishment of a professional baseball team eventually promoted the emergence of the Japanese Professional Baseball League;
20th century, Japanese baseball entered the era of "you sang and I took the stage";
0th century, Japanese baseball developed in twists and turns;
html After the early 121st century, Japanese baseball flourished and developed.
is also supplemented by Meiji, Taisho , Showa before the War and Japan's political background, economic environment and educational development in various periods after World War II are important reasons that affect the changes in Japanese baseball culture. Stimulating communication and guiding changes are the two major mechanisms for the changes in Japanese baseball culture.
Like China, from the establishment of the shogunate in 1603 to 1650, only the Dutch trade port for Dutch was opened in Nagasaki. This marked the establishment of Japan's national lockdown system, and entered the closed and peaceful Edo era from the Warring States Period, where foreign trade was frequent.
The big event until 200 years later - "Black Ship to Sail". 840, the British used strong ships and sharp guns to open the door closed by China since the end of the Ming Dynasty. As China's close neighbor, Japan was not spared.
1 On July 8, 2018, four giant warships in all black raided Edo Bay , showing Japan the powerful force from industrial civilization. That night, Edo Castle was in chaos, and many people went to the shrine to pray for the gods.
The following February 11, commander of the US East India Fleet, Matthew Perry, led the fleet to Japan again. Seven warships have been deep into the Edo Bay, and the shogunate was forced to accept the request of the founding of the country. On March 31 of the same year, the "Treaty of Kanagawa, " was signed with the United States. According to the treaty, Japan opened the two ports of Shimoda and Hakka, and the lockdown system collapsed.
To this day, there is still a crazy song among the Japanese people, "Shangxi (steamboat) awakens the dream of peace, and you can't sleep after drinking four cups." ("Shangxi" is a kind of Japanese tea, pronounced similar to a steamboat)
To this day, most Japanese people do not regard Perry as an invader, but regard him as the founder of Japan's reform and prosperity.
Black ships are regarded as the starting point for their respective countries' modernization, just like Opium War . The port where the black ship docked has now been named Perry Park and has become a famous attraction.
"The Japanese try their best to imitate the Europeans' every frown and smile. The male guests smoked Havana cigar and played Whist cards; others savored the mountains of truffles , jam and ice cream snowflakes piled up at the banquet."
- Ian Bulma "Creating Japan: 1853-1964"
In the major event "black ship sailed", after which Japan entered the modernization Meiji Restoration era.
Through "civilization and civilization" as one of the national policies of the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese at that time were able to understand and contact Western culture in all aspects and a large range. Although the imitation at the beginning was a bit clumsy and funny, for the Japanese at that time, as long as it was Western, it was advanced, modern and civilized.
Therefore, when in 1871 (the fourth year of Meiji), American Wilson arrived in Japan to teach as a foreigner. In 872, he worked as an English teacher at the "First Middle School", which is now well-known in the world, the University of Tokyo, , and served as an English teacher.In his spare time, Wilson, who guided his students to play baseball, brought baseball from the United States to Japan, and thus entered the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame.
873, Makino Nakamoto, who studied in the United States, returned to Japan. While he was in college in the United States, he was influenced by the college baseball craze and learned to play baseball. In that year, he began to teach Japanese baseball. They almost learned the sport with a sense of awe. Relying on the perfect basic education system, the sport quickly became popular in Japanese schools.
The real sports education combined with . The Japanese baseball development model is world-leading. It is different from the club youth training model in mainland Europe. The national system of the Eastern European socialist country . The foundation of sports development in Japan and the United States comes from education and schools.
is like the first official American football game recorded in history. The two sides of the battle were the famous American university Lagers University and Princeton University . The spark of Japanese baseball was also a showdown between the famous Waseda University and the Keio University founded by Fukuzawa Yukichi, that is, the famous trekking battle, which attracted widespread attention from Japanese society and began to appear as a prairie fire.
948 baseball match held in Japan
With the battle between Waseda University and Keio University (i.e., Yayoi University), baseball jumped out of the campus and gradually attracted social attention.
878, Hiraoka Hira, who had studied in the United States, formed Japan's first baseball team, "Shinbashi Club". And the opponent they want to challenge is the American sailor on the dock.
You should know that compared to tall and large American sailors, the Japanese are too thin and small. Therefore, being beaten has become the daily routine of this Japanese baseball team .
Until 12 years later, in 1896, all Japanese baseball enthusiasts received a long-awaited news - the Shinbashi Baseball Team, and won. The news of
soon spread throughout Japan's streets and alleys, and baseball teams composed of all Japanese defeated the Americans. For Japanese citizens, this may be the first victory over the Western world since the "black ship sailed". In addition to pride and pride, countless Japanese people have devoted themselves to this sport, making baseball popular all over Japan.
According to statistics, there were as many as 150,000 students who were registered in Japan that year.
The popularity of baseball in Japan is with a sense of the times when the wheel of history rolls forward, and the dominance of baseball in the hearts of the Japanese people is a unique product under a specific historical opportunity.
Around the 20s, Japan began to see accompany baseball teams appear in the form of clubs. In 1924, the Japanese College Basketball Conference was held for the first time. 936, the Japanese Professional Baseball was established. Baseball became the first professional sports in Japan and laid the foundation for its own national sports.
For Japanese people with poor physical fitness but extremely high overall cooperation awareness, this sport seems to be born for them. It has integrated sports and war well, and even in the past 80 years, baseball has taken root and sprouted everywhere the Yamato nation went. To this day, most countries in the Pacific Rim have become baseball powers.
In this wave of reform and strengthening learning from the West, European and American sports entered Japan through the education system and became popular. The Japanese Vocational Baseball has nurtured baseball superstars such as Wang Zhenzhi, Nagashima Shigeo , and ichiro Suzuki.
In addition to professional baseball, the National Higher Education Wildball Player Rights Conference (also known as Jiaziyuan) participated by high school students is also quite famous. Among the more than 4,000 high schools in the country, only 49 schools that won championships in various regions can break through and decide the championship in two weeks of competition. Therefore, the appearance in Jiaziyuan represents the "ultimate glory" of high school students. Jiaziyuan is also regarded as a symbol of Japanese sports and even Japanese spirit.
In a word, China was also influenced by the United States and Japan. In the Republic of China and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, baseball was an extremely popular sport in both the people and the officials. There have even teams from Northeast China in the Jiaziyuan Competition.
At the same time, Japan's educational philosophy was influenced by the ancient Chinese idea of "both civil and military" and has always advocated the educational policy of both civil and military. The article "Those who have literary affairs must be prepared for military affairs" comes from the record of the Grand Historian, but it had a profound impact in Japan.
Therefore, even if you study well in school, it is difficult to get praise in Japan. People have always believed that being able to participate in sports and social activities and helping parents is an outstanding person. Therefore, even if you are not good at sports, you must participate in sports. The Japanese firmly believe that even if you cannot be the first, hard work is meaningful in itself. Under such educational concepts, Japanese people often leave enough time for the sports clubs organized by their students in addition to cultural courses, and provide sufficient funds to organize training and competitions.
At that time, young Japanese people would sing a song "Flowers are cherry blossoms, people are samurai, the soul of a thousand young people is the soul of a thousand samurai. Youth should serve the country, and their oaths float on the high ridges of the school, carrying the reputation of the world. Both virtue and ability are the first, and excellent reputation cannot be abandoned. Compared with Fuji's high mountains, they are moral and brave. In order to realize their ideals, they should sharpen their wrists against the sun and the moon, swordsmanship, judo and shooting, and baseball games need to be taken."
Baseball has no direct collision, and emphasizes etiquette and mutual respect. Before and after the sports, players will take off their hats and bow to greet each other. During the game, players emphasize personal wisdom and talent, and pay attention to team cooperation and use strategies and tactics together. The fierce hostility between the opponents of is not so obvious, is very consistent with the Japanese's implicit personality and is highly consistent with their etiquette.
Secondly, in Japan, there is a strong connection between baseball since childhood.
Generally, from the second and third grades of elementary school, Japanese children start to receive baseball training and dress uniformly during training. During this period, they can participate in various exchange competitions and leagues from time to time, that is, the Little Baseball League. Then there are corresponding baseball leagues in junior high school, high school and college. Among them, the Jiaziyuan Competition in high school should be the most familiar.
High school children are in their youth and full of energy. Through serious and down-to-earth efforts, they can sweat on the "Jiaziyuan" field, achieve zero contact with their dreams, and be proud in front of their classmates. What else can be more inspiring than this?
There is another point in baseball that can become popular, and is the cheapness and low cost of its training.
Japanese living areas often have this configuration: a bunch of fitness equipment is surrounded by barbed wire mesh to form a ball exercise field. The terrain is flat and the ground is clean, and the children are training in it. You can find a similar venue when you go out of the community. Several friends and family can play baseball and enjoy time together, and improve their level by the way.
Of course, if you sign up for training in off-campus majors, the cost is not high, it will be about 3,000 yen per month. In terms of cost, baseball is also very suitable for the participation of all people.
. Great! Ball, the Chinese Table Tennis Great Universe
World Baseball Classics returns strongly, and the Chinese team once again competes in top global events.

With the help of MLB, many outstanding baseball players will participate, which will definitely inject more strength and excitement into WBC. At the same time, we also look forward to the Chinese baseball leaving a strong mark in top international events.
Baseball is a team sports with obvious confrontation and a minimum number of 9 participants in the game . Baseball is popular in the United States, Japan, South Korea, Latin America, and Taiwan in China. The sport was officially listed as an Olympic event in 1992. After the cancellation of in the London Olympics in 2012, the event was re-listed in the Tokyo Olympics, but the competition was only set for men's baseball.
The entire game is simple: The offensive party’s primary task is to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher. The first priority of the defense is to prevent the striker from hitting the ball. Therefore, the pitcher will shoot a very fast ball that makes the hitter unable to keep up and aim, or throw a change ball, and the ball path will turn, so that the hitter will sweep away.
The specific rules for baseball games are:
, Win or Loss judgment. At the end of the game, the higher scorer wins. In one game, the first half of the game is the away team attacking, the home team defending, and the second half of the game is the home team attacking, the away team defending.
. Offensive rules. There can only be one batsman on the offensive side. The next batsman who appears is ready to play in the preparation area, while the rest of the players watch the game in the player waiting area.
. Defensive rules. There are nine players on the defensive side, one pitcher (responsible for pitching), one catcher (responsible for receiving the ball), seven fielders (responsible for the entire game of defense)
, scoring rules. The offensive player uses a bat to hit the pitcher's ball to the distance, and in principle the farther the better. The attacking player runs counterclockwise after hitting the ball (first, two, and three bases), and returns to home base and scores 1 point.
. In terms of venue settings, the baseball game field is a right-angle fan area, and the field is a right-angle fan area. On both sides of the right angle are the edge lines that distinguish the inner and outer boundaries. The two sides are within the boundary area, and the two sides are outside the boundary area.
Inside and out of boundary (within the wild pass line) are both effective areas for the game. The boundary areas are divided into infield and outfield. The inner field is square, and a barrier position is set at each of the four corners. The base position at the sharp corner is home base, and the rest are first base, second base and third base respectively in counterclockwise direction. The inner boundary area outside the inner field is the outer field. The competition venue must be flat and there must be no obstacles.
The distance between each barrier position in the inner field is 27.43 meters. The distance between the front center of the pitcher board and the sharp corner of the home plate is 18.44 meters. Draw a wild pass line at no less than 18.29 meters behind home plate and outside both sides, within this range is the effective area for the game outside the boundary. The two sides are at least 76.20 meters long. Any point of the connecting line at the top of the two sides should be no less than 76.20 meters away from the sharp corner of the home plate.
Whether it is Japanese baseball or American baseball, baseball is very particular about baseball etiquette. Baseball etiquette is not only reflected in respect for the sports itself and the opponent, but also in respect for the sports field.
When players are performing sports, they should bow and salute in and out of the stadium; they should raise their hands when entering and exiting the strike zone; the two teams should salute each other before and after the game; coaches and seniors should take off their hats when protesting unfairness.
Why can’t Japanese baseball enter China?
The reason why no one in China plays baseball is: lack of viewing, it is difficult for the audience to like to watch baseball games, lack of growth soil; the threshold for entry is high, consumption is not low; it is more dangerous, it is difficult for people to let go of their hands and feet to engage in this sport, and parents will not support it.
First of all, Japanese baseball culture has also been influenced by American culture . In fact, it’s not just Japan, but Koreans also like baseball.
And what about us? What does Americans love baseball have to do with us? Naturally, we are not greatly influenced by baseball culture.
Secondly, compared with football, the money spent on baseball and basketball is really too great.
What are the requirements for football? Just find a piece of open space, have a football, or even a cloth pocket or a small tennis ball. A few children can play happily together.
Basketballs that require higher venues only require a basketball shelf, a ball, and half a basketball court can make a group of young men have an afternoon sweating profusely.
But the entry threshold for baseball is also relatively high, and it is also troublesome to figure out various rules in . does not just need to throw the ball into the basket like basketball. Baseball equipment is also relatively expensive. Baseball equipment refers to sports equipment that needs to be used when playing baseball. In addition to basic baseball, baseball bat , baseball gloves , generally there are baseball uniforms , sneakers and socks, sports protective gear, sunglasses , etc. This set costs at least three to five thousand yuan, and it is not cost-effective for ordinary people to cultivate their interests.
Subsequently, the characteristics of baseball itself are not conducive to its own promotion.
Football and basketball are a normal person with good health and good health, even if they have not received special training, they can participate and have fun from it.
And what about baseball? If you have not received professional guidance from a coach ( baseball pitching, hitting and guarding skills, the three skills are relatively independent, and all require learning and training for separately) and a certain amount of training, it is really difficult for a novice to throw the ball into a good belt, and it is also difficult to master the correct baton swing posture.
Simplely put, if a novice wants to experience the fun of baseball, he will invest a lot more in the early stage, and it is not easy to get started with . The grassroots coaches of Chinese baseball are far from enough in terms of quantity and quality. The risk factor of baseball is actually relatively high. 0,000 hits the ball on a person's head. If you don't have a helmet, you may have a concussion, so parents are not at ease with their children to engage in baseball.
In short, baseball, a Japanese national football team, seems to be a little unacceptable to the local conditions when we come here. After all, for us, it is not that it is more satisfying to play table tennis.
Baseball has a long way to go in China and relevant practitioners need to continue their efforts. The promotion of baseball needs to radiate from developed areas to surrounding areas. Many places have a good foundation in primary and secondary schools, and middle and primary school baseball competitions and invitational competitions in all aspects are held every year. This should be persisted.
. One ball enters the soul, and Japanese baseball becomes a wild ball
The extremely integrated characteristics of Japanese national culture are the key to promoting the development of "wild ball". The use of
and English invisibly provides convenient ways to popularize baseball; and a series of Japanese-style religious ceremonies on the baseball arena, deepening and consolidating the emotional and cultural elements of baseball in Japanese society and becoming a realistic carrier of the Japanese national nature.
Since the beginning of the introduction of baseball, baseball has been actively compatible with the Bushido spirit and has gradually sublimated into "Tao".It can be said that traditional cultural elements are the driving force for the development of Japanese baseball. It is under the influence of values such as groupism, discipline concepts, and spiritual cultivation that "baseball" has become "wild ball".
Baseball sport can show the character of the Yamato nation:
-Although baseball is a relatively static sport, Japanese baseball training often starts with long-distance running for several kilometers, which is a training of a firm personality.
- There are many sacrifices in Japanese baseball to help teammates advance the tactics of base packs, which is to cultivate awareness of teamwork.
- Catchers often have to bring gloves to catch the ball thrown by the pitcher, but they never complain. This is the Japanese forbearing Bushido spirit.
- Compared with the training methods of young Americans, young Japanese usually use the "towel swiping" movement to exercise arm strength when they are very young, which is a manifestation of extreme diligence.
- Japanese baseball players treat coaches like teachers and fathers. Learn to respect teachers and respect them from baseball. This is also an important part of the Japanese national character.
"Waician English" is an important symbol of Japanese baseball localization.
Like other imported modern sports, baseball was transliterated by Katakana before 1894, namely ベースボール, transliterated "baseball";
Until 1894, Ma Geng, a baseball member who was also a high school, translated baseball into "wild ball". This change not only meant that the Japanese part of speech of baseball changed from foreign words to mute words, but also marked the beginning of Japan's "wild ball" culture. At this point, baseball, known as the "national pastime" of the United States, has started its journey to Japan.
The intersection of language and culture. and English-made refers to the recombinant expression order to form a Japanese vocabulary similar to English based on the transliteration of Japanese Katakana, which is often expressed by Katakana. By sorting out some Japanese baseball terms, the newly created words in Hei English help to give the meaning of words. Therefore, compared with other translation methods, well-known Hei English is easier to popularize, and the pronunciation of Katakana is more convenient to read, write and memorize, increasing the imagery and convenience of use of language, laying a good foundation for the spread of baseball. Baseball is quickly known to the Japanese people and gradually forming local characteristics.
Daily metaphorical expression in the term "wild ball". language is a complex dynamic symbol system that can be both a meta-language and a metaphorical means to embed culture. From a linguistic perspective, translating baseball terms in English with Chinese language is a shaping of Japanese baseball culture. The use of baseball terms in Japanese in daily life can reflect the impact of wild balls on Japanese culture and society.
The third president of the United States once said: It is almost religious, and baseball has a far greater impact on American life than other systems. After baseball's combination with the Bushido spirit and "Doicization" sublimation, the impact of "wild fairway" on Japanese society has expanded, which is imbued with Japanese social culture and also contains religious-like social functions.
Religious elements in "Battle Ball" and
Japanese baseball has similar content among the elements of the inner form of religion. First, the Student Baseball Charter as a normative document can be regarded as a practical system of Japanese baseball.
Secondly, there are many religious ritual behaviors in Japanese baseball. In high school baseball, not only will the players bow to the stadium before and after the game, but most players will also pay tribute to the stadium during their daily practice, which has evolved into a habitual etiquette. In addition, the support organizations in Japanese baseball games also highlight the religious-like ceremonies with Japanese characteristics.
In the United States, where baseball originates, the atmosphere of watching the game is quiet. However, the Japanese baseball support organizations are huge, the form of support is uniform, and the atmosphere of support is warm. For example, the support teams of each team will prepare corresponding support songs and support actions for the team and players, and adopt corresponding support methods according to the different times of offense and defense on the field.
Third, there are factors similar to the inner psychological structure of religion in Japanese baseball. Words like "sacred" are often seen in Japan's description of baseball, such as "the court is a sacred place" and "sacred place Jiaziyuan";
The social impact of religious attributes of Japan's "wild ball" type.
First of all, the religious-like characteristics of "wild balls" have a certain social control role. It provides society with various standards of behavior. For example, qualities such as "loyalty", "ritual", "brave courage", and "simple".
And it is the mass media that helps these ideas convey. The youthful passion and fighting spirit in Japanese high school baseball are conveyed through close-ups in TV broadcasts, such as the cheering of the ball player when he is covered in mud, the cheering of the supporter when he is sweating profusely, the passionate sound effects of the commentator, etc., which in turn brings passion and social value to people.
Not only that, "Battleball" also provides an acceptable guide to behavior for society. Religions generally have their own admonitions and dogmas. "Battle Ball" provides ethical principles to society through various baseball charters and rules. For example, the "Student Baseball Charter" clearly defines the educational function of "Battle Ball", that is, students should cultivate qualities to participate in baseball, as well as pursue fairness and oppose violence, and through the examples set and the morals advocated, they play a role in justifying and permanentizing a specific social order similar to it.
Secondly, the "wild ball" culture releases strong social cohesion.
In Japanese student baseball, because everything in "Kasuyuan" is the embodiment of sacred objects, and sacred objects have turned into social symbols to some extent. Therefore, under the inspiration of this symbol, people with common "faith" will gather together to participate in the "collective ceremony". Whether it is the groupism of players fighting side by side on the field, or the audience's efforts to support the team, the entire atmosphere is shrouded in emotions. In this case, people experience the feeling of being intoxicated, which plays a positive reinforcement role, and also provides people with a kind of collective spiritual confidence.
"Wild fairway" is the cultural root of Japanese baseball localization.
The connotation and meaning of "Tao" in the Japanese cultural category refers to the latter two explanations, which refer to the use of a certain cultural activity as a carrier, relying on teaching, inheriting, cultivating various skills and skills, and understanding a certain spirit as the concept, and obtaining temperament from it, and ultimately allowing those who practice Tao to understand the true meaning of the truth. Baseball is called "Tao" in Japanese culture, reflecting the Japanese's respect and love for baseball.
The development of "wild fairway" can be divided into two stages in Japan, with World War II as the watershed: the first stage, that is, the wild fairway under the influence of the Bushido spirit; the second stage, that is, the wild fairway under the influence of modern sports spirit.
The infiltration of Yamato national Bushido spirit.
Bushido is the soul essence of the Yamato nation and the standard of the Japanese nation. Samurai first appeared in Japanese society in the eighth and nineth centuries AD, and later became the backbone of the shogunate rule as a professional soldier. Although it disappeared as a social class in the late 1860s, the moral norms of samurai had long become the moral norms of the entire Japanese nation. The Bushido spirit of "loyalty, righteousness, courage and martial arts" has also become the soul of the Japanese people.
" Flowers are cherry blossoms, people are samurai, the souls of a thousand young people are 1,000 samurai... The integrity and courage are complete. In order to realize the ideal in the heart, when the wrist strength of the sun and the moon, swordsmanship and judo and shooting, baseball games need to be even more needed."
Hidden Hoshisu, known as the father of Japanese student baseball, was the first to integrate baseball with the Bushido spirit, and proposed that "one ball into the soul" is the spiritual symbol of Japanese baseball, thus laying the foundation for the belief in Japanese baseball participation.
"Taitaka" is the basic concept of the Bushido spirit, which emphasizes "national interests are above everything" and absolute obedience to discipline. Japanese wild ball action must I hope to fully reflect this point. The Japanese professional baseball organization is disciplined and requires players to absolutely obey the instructions of coaches and seniors. If there is any violation, they may be suspended for competition and training.
"Brave and bravery" is the foundation of the Bushido spirit. The "Soldiers' Imperial Instructions" should state: "Military courage is the most noble feature of Japan since ancient times. As a Japanese, if you do not have martial courage, you will be ashamed of Japanese subjects.
"Lei" refers to the cultivation of the state of mind in the Bushido spirit to achieve the coordination and unity of the individual's spiritual realm and the environment, so that the individual's spiritual will can override the material level. Lei is mainly manifested in the etiquette norms in the game in Japanese baseball. For example, before the Japanese baseball game, both sides must line up to enter the court to pay tribute to each other, and players should take off their hats and salute to the court when leaving the court. Behind these awe-inspired rituals are not only rituals in the spirit of Bushido, but also an embodiment of the faith of Japanese baseball participation.
"Simple" As one of the creeds of warriors, it also restricts players in moral law. The phenomenon of "slobber polo" in baseball games in the 1950s was rampant, especially in the United States where baseball originated was very common, but not in the rising Japanese baseball world, because integrity symbolizes the simple quality of a "baseball samurai".
Secondly, in Japan and the United States, there is a third-party mediation committee organization between players and teams. When players have differences with the team due to contract issues, players can apply for mediation to the organization. Data shows that compared with the United States, Japanese players rarely appeal to this system. Even if players request third parties to intervene, they will still face condemnation from media opinions. In a sense, it reflects the players' moral constraints on themselves, as well as the atmosphere and values of the Japanese baseball community at that time.
The Taoist sublimation of Japanese baseball.
After World War II, the "way" of "wild fairway" was no longer subject to the "Bushido" spirit used for war, but emphasized becoming an excellent person and one's own cultivation. For example, "focusing on the quantity of practice" was gradually replaced by scientific training methods; "focusing on the infinite transcendence of spirit and will" was transformed into the purpose of coordinated and comprehensive development of body and mind, and intended to obtain spiritual training through learning and entertainment of wild balls, achieve self-discipline cultivation, and eventually become a comprehensive development person; the code of "absolute obedience" was also transformed into respect for oneself and others.
The "Tao" of modern Japan pays more attention to using baseball as a sport to experience the existence of "Tao". In the process of walking, it is programmed to restrict the rules of baseball, and obtains experiences such as reflection, introspection, feeling and touching the soul, so as to hone your mind and comprehend life.
