Diving has a long history and a wide variety of styles. According to relevant records, the diving sport in my country can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty. However, at that time, diving was regarded as a kind of entertainment and did not develop into a formal competitive competition. Diving in the Song Dynasty used a tool called a "water swing" to push people to high places and then fall into the water in various strange postures, similar to today's synchronized diving. According to the ancient book "Yin Hua Lu", someone was able to jump from a hundred-foot-high city wall into the water while sitting upright without taking off his clothes. Wang Gui, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, has a poem that says: "The people in the house seldom see the water swing, and they fight to open the bead curtain in front of the palace." Who won the first championship? The right army lost the water dragon boat. ?It can be seen that diving is already relatively common.
Diving has also appeared in Western countries. In the fifth century BC, a vase depicts a group of little boys diving. Although the origin of diving is still early, it was truly included in regular competitions in 1900. It lasted for hundreds of years and continued to develop. Some people also regard it as an extreme sport. For example, in 1871, an American jumped into the water from a bridge more than 40 meters above the water, which was extremely thrilling and thrilling.
In the third Olympic Games in 1904, men’s diving appeared as an event. In the fourth Olympic Games in 1908, the diving competition already had complete competition rules. In the fifth Olympic Games in 1912 Women's diving appeared in the Olympic Games. After continuous development, the diving system has been continuously improved and the viewing experience has become more and more attractive. In later Olympic Games, synchronized diving, synchronized diving and other forms also appeared.
In contrast, although my country’s diving movement in the Song Dynasty began to use auxiliary tools such as water swings, it failed to really develop. Competitive diving was also introduced to our country from abroad, but even so, in In the 1980s and 1990s, our country's divers still achieved excellent results, and now it has become a major diving country. Diving comes from life and demonstrates the higher life wisdom of ancient people.
