文献学视阈下的宋代蹴鞠研究

Research on Cuju in Song Dynasty from the Perspective of Philology

蹴鞠是中国古代的体育娱乐活动,先秦时称为踏鞠,汉代称蹴鞠,唐代则称筑球和蹴球,其材质及游戏规则在宋代发生了实质性的变化;在皇帝及皇室的引领下,宋代蹴鞠呈现出了比赛的规范化、女性蹴鞠的常态化以及蹴鞠运动的花样化;宋代发达的商品经济促进了蹴鞠的行业化和商业化;至宋后期,文弱之风的盛行,赛制改革的失败等原因导致了蹴鞠运动逐渐走向衰落。

Cuju is an ancient sport and entertainment activity in China. It was called Taju in the pre-Qin Dynasty, Cuju in the Han Dynasty, and Zhuqiu, Cuqiu in the Tang Dynasty. The material and game rules of Cuju changed substantially in the Song Dynasty. Under the guidance of the emperor and the imperial family, the competition of Cuju in Song Dynasty was standardized, women＇s paticipation in playing Cuju was normal and the way of playing Cuju was various. The development of commodity economy in Song Dynasty promoted the industrialization and commercialization of Cuju. By the late Song Dynasty, the prevalence of culture and the failure of competition system reform led to the gradual decline of Cuju.
