Passing down on an old sport
中国传统运动蹴鞠进校园
The FIFA World Cup came to an end in December 2022. But the love for soccer is still very much alive and well in Zibo, Shandong province.
Zibo is called “the home of soccer ball”. It’s the birthplace of the ancient (古老的) Chinese sport of cuju. In 2004, cuju won the recognition (认可) of FIFA -soccer’s governing body – as the earliest form of soccer.
“Side-flicking (叶底摘桃)”, “chest down (燕归巢)” and “shoulder stopper (双肩背月)” are some of the key moves of cuju. Li Weipeng, 34, from Linzi district of Zibo City is a seventh-generation inheritor (传承人) of cuju. He has been practicing these skills for 18 years.
Mastering (掌握) different cuju skills is not easy. “At the beginning, I spent eight hours a day practicing juggling (颠) a ball. It was tiring,” Li told China Daily. He now can juggle a ball with his foot over 10,000 times in a row.
Teaching students cuju moves is a part of Li’s job. The traditional Chinese sport cuju is now popular at primary and middle schools in Linzi. Its moves have made their way into dances and morning exercises.
“Students show great interest in playing cuju. It encourages (激励) me to promote (推广) the ancient sport,” Li told China Daily.
