Cuju and football, although they have an inheritance relationship, they are both mature sports. The two have big differences in the form of sports, rules, ball production, entertainment, etc., and can be said to be two completely different sports forms.

The main difference between Cuju and football

One of them, the background produced is different. Cuju was born in the army and was originally used to train soldiers and was an authentic military sports background. Football was directly related to entertainment. After being influenced by Cuju, it was transformed for entertainment on this basis.

Second, the rules and technical characteristics are different. The rules of Cuju pay great attention to technicality and viewing. For example, just kicking methods include shoulders, backs, crooks, tugs, controls, pulls, pushes, knees, beats, and moons. The rules of football are relatively simple, which is related to the football production materials and Western human body shapes. This also reflects the differences between the East and the West.

Third, the difficulty of scoring is different. The goal of Cuju is only a smaller circle, and the goal is about one and a half people away from the ground; the goal of the football is much larger. In terms of the difficulty of scoring, Cuju is much more difficult than football.

In addition, there are also big differences between the two in terms of entertainment, venue, number of players, etc.

Official certification: World football originated from Cuju

This is an official "certification" without any doubt, because it is the joint announcement of FIFA and AFC : At the press conference of the third China International Football Expo, FIFA and AFC publicly announced that China is the birthplace of football, and world football originated from Cuju in Linzi, Zibo, Shandong, China.

Based on this conclusion, we can know with certainty that modern football is a form of sports developed from Cuju sports, absorbing many characteristics and techniques of Cuju sports.

Cuju is a mature form of sports

According to the official announcement of FIFA, Cuju is called the "preface" of football, and I do not agree with this view.

Cuju movement from its origin to its decline in the Qing Dynasty period, at least the history that can be seen in history books is more than two thousand years! A sport that has lasted for more than two thousand years is just the "preliminary" of a certain sport? No expert will believe it.

In fact, historical books can see that at least from , the Warring States period, Cuju has become a common form of sports and entertainment in the military and local areas of Qi. By , the , the period of the Han Dynasty, was very common across the country, and related theoretical works have appeared, showing that this sport has matured.

By the Tang and Song dynasties, it reached its peak in the market operation level and formed a professional "club". During the Ming Dynasty, professional works such as "Cuju Map" and "Cuju Map" were published. During the Qing Dynasty, due to the continued suppression of the government, this movement gradually disappeared.

To sum up, we can conclude that Cuju and football have deep roots, but different forms of exercise that are suitable for the characteristics of one's body.

articles have come to this point, and the 2022 Qatar World Cup is in fierce competition. I can't help but imagine that if the true meaning of the Cuju movement can be restored, another form of national movement with great influence may be produced.
