The competition is a new path, from "Village BA" to "Village Super" standards | Mass Sports | Events
Professional event organizations, large sports arenas, standard venues, and thousands of spectators... For many years, basketball and football events have left an impression on people, seemingly a sport that is more in line with urban temperament. However, the rise of "Village BA" and "Village Super" in Guizhou has shown us a more down-to-earth, people-oriented, and pure side of sports events.
The vigorous vitality demonstrated by rural sports in Guizhou is an excellent annotation of the combination of excellent ethnic culture and modern civilization elements, especially when diverse ethnic minority cultures encounter sports such as basketball and football that are deeply loved by the people, such a fusion of primitive, down-to-earth, and people-oriented cultural and sports will inevitably be unstoppable.
Fire in Qiandongnan
Make sports more "people-oriented"
In Qiandongnan, Guizhou, "Village BA" and "Village Super" have been one after another, sparking waves of enthusiasm. The audience not only felt the passion of sports events, but also the unique "momentum" of the opening ceremony with thousands of people singing, carrying specialty products such as glutinous rice, pickled fish, and beef offal with the athletes from the same village. Athletes who dare to fight and fight on the field win honor for the whole village; The audience, surrounded by a sea of people, were passionately shouting and cheering... These passionate scenes brought us waves of surprises one after another.
Whether it's the basketball game in Taijiang County or the football game in Rongjiang County, the players on the field come from various ethnic groups such as Miao, Dong, Shui, Han, Yao, etc. Their professions are diverse, and their commonality is that they are all local people born and raised, created by the masses, played by the masses, and promoted by the masses. The joy and likes on the field have completely brought to life the ethnic characteristics and culture of Qiandongnan, and even ignited the local economic development.
The local people widely participate and actively respond, only seeking to run the purest ball games well. Among them, it not only shows the vitality and unique charm of rural cultural development, but also infiltrates and condenses the hearts of people in the form of rural culture of competitive sports, so that fans really feel the wonderful "local flavor". Here, strong emotions are preserved in rural sports events, with a bowl of local free sour plum soup, an excited "come on", and a large pig trotters set as prizes, allowing local sports enthusiasm to deeply penetrate people's hearts.
As a Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, the people of all ethnic groups in Qiandongnan have a simple and pure love for sports, while their leisure time is dedicated. The display of exquisite national costumes and handicrafts everywhere on the field, coupled with the "continuous bombardment" of various agricultural products and special food, let both online and offline audiences feel the happiness brought by "local flavor". The nationwide craze caused by "sports+" in this game is ecstatic.
Behind the strong atmosphere
Highlighting the "material prosperity" of the people
Tracing back to history, both Taijiang basketball and Rongjiang football have decades of popular foundation.
In Taijiang, the annual "June 6th" New Food Festival and basketball games are one of the highlights. People from various villages who work outside will return to the village one after another, and each household will actively respond. Some will participate in the competition, while others will be responsible for logistics support, forming basketball teams to participate in the competition, which has become a major event for each village. The origin of "Village Basketball" cannot be traced back. In fact, in the 1930s, rural basketball had already emerged in Taijiang County.
Among the 385000 population in Rongjiang, there are nearly 50000 people who can and enjoy playing football. Nowadays, every village in Rongjiang County has a football team, and some villages have more than one. The standard football field in the county alone costs 14 yuan, and all are open for free.
The two places are not far apart, but both are located in remote mountainous areas, with backward transportation and limited information. The hot sports events can only be hidden in the deep mountains. With the continuous improvement of transportation facilities, the goal of connecting Guizhou counties with highways has been fully achieved, with convenient transportation, attracting more tourists from other places to gather here; After the victory of poverty alleviation, the material living standards of local villagers have improved, and their demand for spiritual and cultural values has continued to grow; The smooth internet and new media have made information dissemination faster, leading to a positive development trend and a continuous increase in the popularity of rural sports events. The local community has also taken advantage of this trend and gained momentum.
The foundation of a sports powerhouse lies in mass sports, and the key to mass sports lies in sharing and benefiting the whole nation. In the process of rural revitalization, allowing rural residents to participate in mass sports more conveniently and passionately, continuously meeting their spiritual and cultural needs, will undoubtedly bring more surprises to rural revitalization.
It's a competition, it's a new path
Maintaining the "original flavor" is crucial
Adhere to the principle of farmers as the main body, respect the wishes of the masses, make full use of existing venues and facilities to organize competitions in a simple manner, without extravagance, waste, or arbitrary fees, and fully demonstrate the characteristics of rural sports events. Let the "authentic" rural sports events always be named "village".
The statistics of Taijiang and Rongjiang counties indicate that the hot competition has greatly promoted local economic growth and industrial upgrading. In fact, the reason why we continue to watch the popular rural sports events in Guizhou is also due to the expectation that it is not just a "patent" of Guizhou.
Today, whether it is Taijiang, which focuses on the "village BA" traffic IP, strengthens the Internet plus agricultural, cultural and tourism industry chain, and promotes the deep integration of mass sports events with characteristic agriculture, cultural and creative products, and rural tourism; Rongjiang is still exerting its "super" ability, leveraging the momentum of "village super" to bring football and folk culture out of the mountains and into the world, making the chain reaction brought by rural sports events unstoppable.
Under the spotlight, Guizhou is riding on the wind. If the enthusiasm of rural residents for sports can ignite nationwide, and then drive sports such as basketball and football to penetrate the grassroots, it may successfully run a new path of rural revitalization. The strong sports atmosphere reflects the organic combination of rural sports culture and spiritual civilization construction. The "Village BA" and "Village Super League" that everyone can participate in between the square inch stadiums provide a model for building a strong sports country and a healthy China in Guizhou.
