The origin and origin of champion, runner-up, and third runner-up
The word champion first originated in China in AD In 209 BC, in order to resist the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, the first large-scale peasant uprising in Chinese history broke out. At that time, Song Yi, a general of the Chu State who resisted the tyranny, repeatedly defeated the Qin army due to his bravery and skill in fighting, and achieved great military exploits. He was ranked above all the generals and was respectfully called "Champion of Qingzi" by the soldiers.
"Historical Records - The Chronicles of Xiang Yu" has this record: "All the other generals belong to Song Yi, and they are called Qingzi Champions." This is the first person in Chinese history to win the title of "Champion" people.
The second place is because Ya means the next best. For example, in ancient times, the person who was second only to his father was called Yafu ("Historical Records - Xiang Yu's Chronicles" states: "Yafu sits facing south, "Yafu, Fan Zengye."); Mencius, who was second only to Confucius, was called Yasheng; in the Han Dynasty, the imperial censor who was preparing to be promoted to prime minister was called Yaxiang, so the second person after the champion was called runner-up.
The third runner-up is named according to the season and the ranking of brothers. In the old calendar of our country, the three months of the spring quarter are called Mengchun, Zhongchun and Jichun respectively. The rankings of brothers are also Bo, Zhong and Ji. Ji is the third place, which refers to the winner who ranks lower than the champion or runner-up. Refers to the 3rd place in the competition.
