A Glimpse of Flying over the Water Swing

I really like watching diving competitions in large-scale sports games because the diving movements are beautiful, the technical content is high, and it is highly entertaining. The most important thing is that Chinese athletes have obvious advantages in this aspect. In diving, China is definitely the gold medal winner. China has a historical tradition in this movement. I have not studied the origin of modern diving, but I do know that it is something that ancient Chinese have played for a long time. There are many opinions about the origin of diving in China. I once read an article about ancient diving. It said that the earliest record of diving in ancient Chinese classics appeared in the "Book of Jin·Zhou Chu Zhuan". The book said, "Chun Chu threw water to fight the dragon..." It is said that Zhou Chu jumped into the water to fight the dragon. It was the diving action of "dropping into the water". I think this statement is debatable. How do you know that Zhou Chu used a diving action to throw into the water? What if he slowly walked into the water? Or did you jump down in a "popsicle" style with your legs stretched straight out? If this makes sense, then Qu Yuan, who sank in the Miluo River, can also be regarded as a pioneer of diving. Therefore, the sentence in "Zhou Chu Zhuan" is not reference. "Yin Hua Lu" written by Zhao Can of the Tang Dynasty also recorded that Cao Zan, a native of Hongzhou, could "jump down from a hundred-foot-high pole without taking off his clothes, sit on the water, and if he were on a mat... (Under water), he would spin around and appear in thousands of ways." This cannot be regarded as diving. Jumping down and sitting on the water without falling is a light skill equivalent to "floating on water with iron palms", while whirling in and out of the water and changing into thousands of shapes is diving or synchronized swimming. The earliest written description of synchronized diving appears in the work of Meng Yuanlao of the Song Dynasty, "Tokyo Menghua Lu" which records the prosperous scene of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty...
