任务1 跨学科 毽子小知识 (2025·湖南郴州永兴联考期末)阅读理解
Jianzi is a traditional Chinese sport, with a long history of over 2,000 years. It shares the same origin (起源) with British football. Both of them come from the ancient Chinese game—cuju.
Jianzi kicking has been a popular activity in China. People of all ages enjoy playing it, either old or young. People can play it alone or in groups. The rule is simple: Keep jianzi in the air by using any part of your body except your hands.
A traditional jianzi is made of feathers (羽毛), coins and cloth. Soft and light feathers are often chosen to make jianzi jump higher. In order to make the feather last longer, people would put the feather in the water with Sichuan pepper for some days. It's said that pepper can protect feathers from insects. Modern jianzi uses rubber (橡胶) to carry the feather to cut down cost. But in the past, people liked to use coins with holes to carry the feather, as coins meant wealth and good luck. Then feathers were sewn (缝) on the coin with cloth, because ancient people believed that wealth shouldn't be shown to others.
Jianzi has been considered as a Chinese national treasure. Today, kicking jianzi is not only for fun but also a way of passing down traditional art.
