Brief introduction of Jinhua bullfighting
Jinhua bullfighting, once as famous as Jinhua ham, has a history of thousands of years, especially in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Jinhua bullfighting is a fight between cows, which is different from the fight between people and cows in Spain. It is known as "Oriental civilization bullfighting". Bullfighting days are usually held every few tens of days in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the venue is selected in the rice fields around Zhoushan. On the day of the bullfight, the bull's-eye decorated with warriors was escorted into the bullring by the owner. At this time, firecrackers exploded and the spectators cheered. As the horn sounded, the bullfight began. At that time, two cows glared at each other, bowed their heads with their tails between their legs, and struggled desperately in the corner, while the audience on the sidelines cheered and shouted. But seeing the losing side bleeding profusely, they fled in a hurry, and the winning side followed closely, and then the bullfight ended. The so-called winners and losers are more profound here. The defeated cattle will be reduced to plowing cattle or even slaughtered by their owners, while the winner will be worth a hundred times and be down a peg or two for a while.
