Chapter 7 eternal coordinates

Finally came to Olympia. I didn't expect such a beautiful scenery. When I was about to arrive, there were already dense trees and shallow clear streams. The roads and houses became more and more neat, and the air was filled with a natural fragrance that I don't know where it came from. .As soon as you step into this sports holy place, you will definitely stop suddenly: countless old boulders, whether they are the foundations of buildings, temple foundations or sculptures, all staggered out of the millennium's decay or burial, and are neatly arranged in the On both sides of the avenue.Just like countless ancient generals standing with their faces covered in dust, accepting the review of modern people.

This avenue has no end in sight, only that it leads to the simplest end: for human health. After seeing the Temple of Zeus and the Temple of Hira, they figured out the route to light the holy fire before each sports meeting in ancient times, looked up at countless stone pillars, and finally understood that health is their religion. Walking into a series of arcades, you will arrive at the most important arena in the dawn of mankind.The spectator stand around the runway is a circular slope with green grass, which can seat 40,000 people. There are several stone seats in the middle, which are the seats for the referee and VIPs.

I couldn't help it, and I ran a full lap on this sacred starting track.Xu Gehui booed from the side: Mr. Qiuyu ran incorrectly, the ancient Olympic athletes were all naked during the competition! I said: It's your fault, there were no female audiences here back then. Indeed, women were not allowed to enter the arena for a long time in those days, and it could only be seen from afar.It is said that on the big hillside behind the left side of the entrance, married women can watch it, while unmarried women can only look at it from the hilltop one kilometer directly in front of the entrance.Xu Gehui said: I thought the sports field was a good place for girls to choose their ideal husband!

According to people here, there was a mother who dressed as a man and entered the arena to watch her son's competition. When the son won the championship, she exclaimed and revealed her female voice, and stepped forward to hug her and revealed her female form.It should be punished, but people say that sports champions are half human and half god, how can we punish the mother of god?As soon as this end opened, women could gradually enter the stadium to watch the game. Bringing intellectual health and physical health to the extreme and then bringing them together is their complete ideal of people.I have seen unearthed full-body statues of ancient Greek philosophers and sages more than once. Most of them have thick beards and hair, and muscular bodies. There is only a piece of cloth on the body, which is fixed with pins and belts. Half of the upper body is exposed, bare feet, and occasionally shoes. Except for the melancholy and thoughtful eyes, there is not much difference from athletes.

Other civilizations have more or less advocated these two aspects, but in doing so, they often lose sight of the other, or they tend to be foolish and brave, or they tend to be sour, or they pursue knights, or imitate poor scholars, and rarely combine the two.Therefore, Olympia is an eternal world coordinate. I have always believed that various civilizations have their own structures, and it is difficult to disassemble them for partial comparison. But in Olympia, I clearly felt the gap between ancient Chinese civilizations.The occurrence of this gap is not due to the part, but is related to the whole person.

Chinese civilization pays less attention to the self in the sense of the individual and the body, and has done too much work on interpersonal relationships.As a result, true sanity lacks a hallmark and lacks a playing field.There are only some lonely individuals who are quietly strong and old in the forest and spring.
