但金華斗牛也頗有講究，如兩頭牛搏殺中勢(shì)均力敵，斗紅了眼激怒對(duì)方后會(huì)互不相讓拼死對(duì)抗。斗牛場(chǎng)中對(duì)抗搏殺的斗牛，如一頭輸了落荒而逃，另一頭窮追不舍，一旦沖出護(hù)欄就會(huì)傷及觀眾。為確保參斗的牛不受傷和觀眾人身安全，每次斗?，F(xiàn)場(chǎng)都會(huì)配備多名“拆牛手”。每次斗牛開(kāi)始后，“拆牛手”就聚精會(huì)神注視搏殺中的斗牛，當(dāng)出現(xiàn)斗得難解難分、勝負(fù)相當(dāng)?shù)那榫皶r(shí)，“拆牛手”就及時(shí)制伏蠻牛，化解險(xiǎn)情。金華斗牛比的是兇悍和耐力，突出的是觀賞性，所以被譽(yù)為“東方文明斗牛”，2007年金華斗牛被列入省級(jí)非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)名錄。

Winter Sporting Events in Rural Wuyi

By Zhang Jiancheng

In Wuyi， a largely rural county in central Zhejiang Province， leisurely winter days in the last part of the year are traditionally dedicated to sports and entertainment. Villages hold sporting events. In particular， bullfighting， a tradition of over 1，000 years in the region， is the biggest for rural entertainment.

At least three villages in Wuyi held sporting carnivals in November or December last year. Houshe Village celebrated the harvest of the year in winter days. Such a sporting event is different from usual sport competitions. Villagers vie each other in catching fish and ducks in rice paddies with bare hands. And they make straw dragons and stage a straw dragon dance.

As Houshe is not far from Yiwu， home to the worlds biggest wholesale marketplace for household commodities， some foreign businesspeople from Kenya， Jordan， Afghanistan and Iraq who are working in Yiwu， participated in the carnival. Competitions are usually held in vegetable gardens， rice paddies where the autumn crop has been harvested. Winners received farm produce as trophies and awards. What was important wasnt the tangible food awarded to winners， it was fun that attracted people to come and enjoy.endprint

The village sporting event also pulled in tourists from nearby towns and cities. Fang and her husband brought their 12-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son came to Rear Mulberry Garden， a village in Lutan Town， to participate in the winter-day sporting event. The father and the children plunged into a competition in which they relayed to move tulips and corncobs. And additionally the mother played a football game in a rice paddy. The family came from Shangrao in neighboring Jiangxi Province. The parents are working in Wuyi. They wanted their children to understand the regional lifestyle better so as to grow up more smoothly.

If the annual sporting carnival at Houshe is only four years old， bullfighting in Wuyi is over 1，000 years old. The bullfight dates back to the Han Dynasty （202BC-220AD） and the Three Kingdoms （220-280AD） and flourished in the Northern Song Dynasty （960-1127）. To outsiders， it is usually known as Jinhua Bullfighting， as Jinhua is the central city in the region and a number of rural counties and county-level cities are under its jurisdiction.

In Wuyi， a bullfight usually takes place in rural celebrations when a temple holds its first ever religious ceremony after completion of construction or a village holds a celebration on some important occasions. Unlike the bullfighting in Spain where a matador fights and kills a bull ceremoniously， a bullfight in Wuyi occurs between two bulls on a large broad ground of rice paddies， with nothing to block spectators near and far to view and enjoy the fight. The annual tradition was restored in the 1990s when the reform and opening up to the outside world was going in full swing. So far the annual event has taken place 24 times in Wuyi since the restoration.

To keep spectators and bulls safe is a rule of the tradition. There are a group of peacemakers in charge of separating the fighting bulls when and if necessary. When in fight， a winning bull often chases the loser relentlessly in a bid to kill the archrival. At such a conjuncture moment， peacemakers rush in to separate the bulls and hold them and prevent them from charging into cheering crowds. In most cases， no bulls get killed in a bullfight. Thats why some consider the bullfighting is civilized. Spectators come to watch a bullfight to see bulls power and stamina as well as the drama of the fight. They dont expect to see how a bull kills another. In 2007， Jinhua Bullfighting was inscribed on the provincial directive of intangible cultural heritage.endprint
