In fact, horse racing is the most important part of Kazakh people’s cultural life.
But horse racing is not just for the sake of horse racing, but is often held at weddings and important festivals, and is often the finale.
In other words, once the horse racing is over, the celebrations should also come to an end.
The importance of large-scale horse racing events in history can be judged from the generous rewards given to the winners, which shows the irreplaceable importance of this event in all activities of the Kazakh people.
It is said that as early as the early 20th century, in a horse race of the Kazakh people, the horse owner who won the first place would receive 9 gold ingots, 9 camel lambs (one-year-old camels), 11 mules and horses, and 100 sheep.
According to Kazakh people's preferences, if a horse wins first place in a horse race, it is not only the glory of the horse owner, but also the glory of the entire tribe.
Kazakhs love horses to an almost obsessive level. Usually horse racing is not limited to horses belonging to that tribe. As long as a horse reaches the finish line first, the Kazakhs present will express their joy in a very special way, as if His own horse ran first.
Therefore, when a horse race is rewarded, the horse owner will never keep it to himself, but will share a considerable portion with relatives and people in the same tribe.
Therefore, Kazakhs hold horse racing meets in a very formal way. The time and location of the race are usually announced in advance, and the participating horses are selected and trained two or three months in advance.
Moreover, they are very good at training horses, and the participating horses will receive the best care.
They believe that whether a horse can win the championship depends on whether the horse is trained properly. For this reason, both in the past and now, the Kazakhs have full-time horsemen and horse trainers.
Unlike modern horse racing
What is surprising is that most of the Kazakh riders are little boys aged 12 or 13.
Moreover, the saddles of horse racing are light, and the temples and pony tail are always decorated with beautiful strips of cloth, which are braided or tied together with the pony tail.
In fact, it was a mark so that everyone could see whose horse it was. The children were dressed in various colors, like butterflies flying in the wind.
Historically, most large-scale horse racing events were organized by tribal leaders. The scale of horse racing was determined based on the size of the tribe. Small-scale events usually involved dozens of horses, while large-scale events ranged from two to three hundred horses.
Today's horse racing is in the early 100s, which is not a large scale. However, due to the accidental discovery of Liu Qingshan's program team and the possibility that the racing scenes will be shown on TV, more than 100 horses were temporarily added.
But horse racing is easy to find, but riders are hard to find. After all, children in this age group are in school age, and school has just started.
Therefore, even if they were patched together, there were still fifty or sixty riders missing.
Finally, the organizer of the event found the program team and planned to ask some of them to temporarily form a performance team with the adult riders in their group.
This kind of performance team does not participate in the competition for ranking, and starts later, and the entire race distance is one more lap than a regular event.
The reason why they found Liu Qingshan's team was because he had a team of people guarding him all year round.
It is not a secret that these people are martial arts masters. Peng Sihai announced this to the world more than a year ago on a show in Seattle.
So since you are a master, there is no problem of poor riding skills, because there are riding training subjects in traditional Chinese martial arts.
Liu Qingshan has nothing to do
It is said that it is easy to pick out a few people who are good at riding in the escort team, but the number is limited. Ding Po Tian can find six or seven people, because a few people were separated from the advance team before.
He himself does not plan to appear, and neither does Fan Shengyang. Such a folk event that can reflect national unity focuses on participation rather than the limelight of celebrity effect.
Fortunately, Daolang and Yunduo are considered locals. Although their riding skills are not exquisite, they are experienced and their own safety is guaranteed.
Coupled with the strong demands of Jin Xishan, Taylor, and Wang Baoqiang, there is no problem in gathering enough for twelve or three people.
Besides, Qu Xiangling was responsible for guarding their safety, so it was agreed upon.
As for Jinxi Shanghui's horse riding, he only learned it in the previous drama "Nirvana in Fire", and his riding skills can only be said to be reluctant, after all, he has never tried it over a long distance before.
Taylor has been able to ride horses since she was a child. Her family was once a neighbor of a private farm, and she learned to ride horses when she was in elementary school.
Needless to say, Wang Baoqiang spent seven years in the Shaolin Temple. Riding horses up and down mountains to fetch water was one of his main tasks during his apprenticeship.
So a team of fourteen people was quickly formed, but it still took some time to wear the Ha race horse racing clothes, otherwise their clothes would not be suitable for riding horses.
Because of their reasons, the event was postponed for a long time. Fortunately, both locals and tourists wanted them to play and were in a good mood to wait.
It just so happens that in such a competition, scenes shot by drones can appear on the camera, which is an unexpected gain.
After all, after this show, this novel shooting method will be officially launched for sale, so it is necessary to use this opportunity to promote it.
want.
It's just that this kind of shooting can only take long-range shots. This is because the maneuverability of the first-generation drone still has a lot of room for improvement. The noise during flight is too loud, and it may startle the horse racing when shooting close up.
But in this way, it was difficult to guarantee many close-range images. In the end, Fan Shengyang had to take action himself and temporarily replace the cameraman's work, which required him to follow the shots from the periphery of the track.
But he never thought that just such a temporary change would make Fan Shengyang steal the spotlight in the entire horse racing competition, making those famous Kazakh horsemen feel inferior.
What happened was that as soon as the competition started, at the command, the leading horses rushed out like arrows from their strings.
The clever little riders leaned on their horses and urged the horses to gallop while carefully wiping the sweat from the horses' eyes. Sweat flowing into the horse's eyes would affect the running speed.
Then the adult group's departure was quite satisfactory at first, and the scene seemed to be what it was.
But after one lap, the adult riders of the Kazakh race distanced themselves from most of the program members.
Especially Jin Xishan, Taylor and Yun Duo, their movements on the horse were also deformed, and their legs were trembling.
What's even more ridiculous is that their images are so miserable. Their original delicate makeup has been knocked to pieces, their hats have fallen off, and their hair has become loose. Their faces are already pale and their faces are pale while the horses are still running fast, and their mouths are sharp. Called Lianlian.
Fortunately, the horses under them had received a burst of Qi from Liu Qingshan beforehand, and they had the effective guidance of Qu Xiangling beside them, so those horses would not be startled by the screams of their own hands.
Just like this, amid the roaring laughter of the onlookers, another
After barely running down a few laps, the three women's panic subsided a lot when the young rider's competition was over.
Why? Because they were left far behind by the large group, even the young riders in the official competition had to lap them.
Anyone who is familiar with horse racing knows that horses have personalities. It is very humiliating to be overtaken by the same kind. Of course, the three of them can feel that they are about to be overtaken, and they will inevitably become angry.
Fortunately, the competition is over, which means that they will not be trapped, and both the man and the horse will naturally feel relaxed.
But as soon as he relaxed like this, Jin Xishan's hand holding the reins changed shape. The horse running at high speed suddenly felt at a loss because he didn't feel the rider's rein command at the next turn.
This directly caused the horse's pace to become disordered when crossing the curve. The turn was too sharp, but Jin Xishan's figure on the horse was hidden outside the normal riding trajectory.
In other words, the understanding is that Jin Xishan's body suffered a terrible loss of control, coupled with the sudden change of direction on the curve, which caused half of her body to tilt out of the horse's back, and the rider was about to fall off the horse.
This abnormal situation would be nothing if it were another adult rider. None of the ethnic men on horseback would have experienced falling on horseback.
But they have a lot of experience, and even if something unexpected happens, they will take self-protective actions to protect themselves from being injured.
But Jin Xishan's riding skills were only at an amateur level, and when unexpected events like this happened again, his mind would go blank.
And even though she
Their speed is very slow, but they are still running at high speed. If they fall off their horses without any sense of protection, in some cases they will injure their muscles and bones, and in severe cases it may even endanger their lives.
Because there were horses following her, if she fell and was trampled by the horses' hooves, the consequences would be disastrous.
Even though there was Qu Xiangling watching over her, there would always be things she couldn't take care of if she was looking after a star by herself.
At this critical moment, Fan Shengyang, who was riding a horse and carrying a camera outside the track, suddenly rushed over with his horse. When the horse was not fast enough to even appear, he suddenly stepped on the stirrup and jumped into the air. .
His feet made another series of empty steps in the air, and they suddenly arrived diagonally behind Jin Xishan's horse.
Then his body suddenly turned and became parallel to the ground with his feet in front and body behind.
At this moment, the camera in his hand had already followed the upward movement of his upper body, and with a stretch, he threw it to Qu Xiangling, who was urging his horse to come.
At the same time, Jin Xishanzheng's body was thrown out by the sharp turn of the curve, and was blocked by one of his legs.
Then Fan Shengyang exerted force with her legs, and she finally stabilized her body. She subconsciously tightened the reins and regained control of the horse.
But at this time, Fan Shengyang's entire body was still in the air. At this moment, a jaw-dropping scene happened.
His legs, which were originally stretched out flat, were suddenly raised upwards, pointing straight to the sky.
Until the buttocks are lifted into the air, followed by a strong push from the waist and lower abdomen, the strength of the upper body is pushed from the chest to the thighs in the air, forming an arch bridge posture in an instant, completing a completely helpless move.
The carp fights hard in the air.
This set of actions sounds cumbersome, but in fact it happens in the blink of an eye, and the connection between each action seems to be without any pause.
