The History and Origin of Diving
The origins of diving can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome. At that time, diving was more for entertainment and religious rituals than competition. In the British Museum in London, there was a vase from 500 B.C. with a picture of a boy diving. This was the earliest recorded image of diving in human history. Some coastal countries and regions in the world had long had diving activities due to their unique geographical conditions. For example, in the early 16th century, there were records of fishermen and sailors diving in the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and Scandinavia in the 17th century. The earliest records of diving in China could be traced back to the Biography of Zhou Chu in the Book of Jin. In the Tang Dynasty, it was recorded in Yin Yu Lu that Cao Zan had superb diving skills. He could jump into the water from a 100-foot-high mast without splashing. In the Song Dynasty, diving became a performance activity. The performers stood on the "water swing" device. When the swing reached the highest point, they jumped from the swing and rolled in the air before jumping into the water. Modern competitive diving originated in Germany in the 19th century and evolved from fancy diving. In 1900, diving was first introduced into the Olympic Games as a performance event, and in 1904, diving was listed as an official event in the third Olympic Games, with men's high diving and men's platform diving being set up. In the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, diving was listed as an official event for the first time, and there were many events for different age groups and gender groups.

Generally speaking, an athlete needed to jump from a specified height (the height of the springboard or platform was clearly defined) and complete the required movements or free movements in the air. The movements had to have a certain degree of difficulty, accuracy, elegance, and other requirements. The referee gave a comprehensive score based on the athlete's take-off, posture in the air, the size of the splash, and many other factors. In the end, the athlete with the highest score won.

Introduction and Origin of Diving
Diving was a water sport. Athletes jumped into the water from high places in various postures, or jumped from diving equipment, completed certain movements in the air, and then entered the water in a specific posture. The origin of diving can be traced back to a long time ago. In primitive society, in order to survive, people had already jumped into the water from high places to catch fish or escape from ferocious beasts. This could be seen as the primitive form of diving. Later, it slowly developed. In the 19th century, Europe had already begun to have the seeds of modern diving. It first appeared as a small event in some swimming competitions.

A brief introduction to the history of China diving
China has a long history of diving. There were records of diving as early as the Tang Dynasty.

The development of modern Chinese diving was as follows: In 1970, China first established a national diving team. At the beginning of the establishment of the team, there were only six members. At that time, there was no training ground of their own, so they could only borrow the swimming team's venue. Due to the lack of opportunities for international competitions, they could only study their opponents through competition videos. At first, they mainly focused on improving the difficulty of diving movements. In the 1974 Asian Games in Teheran, the China diving team won many championships.

The origin and history of roses
Rose was first differentiated from wild roses. It belonged to the same species of rose as rose and rose. Its origin could be traced back to the tertiary period of geological age, about 60 million years ago. This conclusion came from the leaf fossils of the original species of the Eocene rose found in Fushun area, Liaoning Province, China. In 1883, Oligocene-era rose fossils were discovered in the United States, and it also indicated that there were roses on Earth tens of millions of years ago. Roses were born in the northern part of China, North Korea, Japan, Russia and other parts of the northern hemisphere. In China, the history of rose cultivation could be traced back to the Han Dynasty more than 2000 years ago. The Xijing Miscellany mentioned that there was a "rose tree" planted in the Leyou Garden of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, the "rose" in the Records of the Historian and the First Aid Chapter written by Shi You of the Western Han Dynasty did not refer to flowers. It was probably named after the Han Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, poems on roses had mentioned the relationship between roses and Chinese roses. In foreign countries, roses were widely planted in ancient Babylon and ancient Greece. In ancient Greek architectural decorations, coin casting, and Crete murals, there were sculptures and paintings with roses as the theme. In the early years of the Christian era, when the Roman Empire was flourishing, the ancient Egyptians sold roses from Southwest Asia to Rome. After the 12th century, the rose planting industry rose in various European countries, and rose planting in Britain was particularly prominent. In the 13th century French fable, The Legend of the Rose, roses symbolized noble women. The War of the Roses (War of the Roses) took place in England between 1455 and 1485. The emblems of the two sides were red roses and white roses. Later, England used roses (actually ancient roses in Europe) as their national flower and changed the royal emblem to red and white roses. The cultivation of roses by the people of various countries had formed a huge family. At present, there were at least 16000 varieties of roses in the world. Among them, the hybrid tea rose was the offspring of four China rose varieties that were introduced to Europe in the second half of the 18th century and crossbred with local varieties. In terms of cultural significance, from ancient Greek mythology to medieval European Christian culture, and then to modern society, roses have always been given different symbolic meanings. In ancient Greek mythology, the story of the goddess Aphrodite made it a symbol of love and beauty. In medieval Europe, roses were called the "flower of the Virgin Mary", symbolizing loyalty, piety, and purity. In modern society, red roses became one of the most common ways to express love.

The Origin and History of Mars
The formation of Mars was related to the formation of the solar system. The formation of the solar system began with a huge cloud of gas and dust consisting of gas (mainly hydrogen and some helium) and tiny dust particles, known as the solar nebula or the primitive nebula. The formation of Mars could be divided into four stages: 1. Dust accumulation stage: In the early stages of the solar system, a large amount of dust and gas clouds gradually gathered to form the original material of Mars. 2. Planet condensation stage: As the dust and matter further gathered, the core of Mars gradually formed. Its core was mainly composed of iron-Ni alloy, which played a decisive role in Mars 'lower density and smaller volume. 3. Planetary growth phase: After the core is formed, Mars begins to absorb the surrounding gas and dust, and its size gradually increases. This process continues for millions of years until it reaches its current size. 4. Atmospheric Formation Stage: During the growth of the planet, the surface temperature of Mars gradually rises, causing the frozen material to melt and release a large amount of gas. These gases gradually form the atmosphere of Mars. Planetary collisions also played an important role in the evolution of Mars. About four billion years ago, there were a large number of asteroids and comets in the solar system. They collided with Mars, which had a profound impact on the formation and evolution of Mars. Many giant craters and canyons on the surface of Mars might have been formed by the collision of debris. Regarding the origin of life on Mars and the relationship between Mars and Earth, some people believed that Mars might be the earliest planet in the solar system to have life. At least 4 billion years ago, life might have existed on Mars. There were also studies that suggested that life on Earth might have originated on Mars, for example, it might have been sent to Earth by Mars meteorites. The climate of Mars in ancient times may have been very habitable. From 3.5 billion years ago, Mars experienced a "great oxidization period." Through simulations, it was possible that there was a liquid ocean on Mars three billion years ago. The novel "Mars of Paradise" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to read it!
The Origin and History of Guizhou
Guizhou was named after Guishan, because Guizhou was called Qianzhong in ancient times, so it was called Guizhou for short. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the northeastern part of Guizhou belonged to Jingchu, and the rest of the area was generally called Nanman. There were many tribes, and the famous one was the country of Qianyu. From the late Warring States Period to the early Western Han Dynasty, Yelang was the most powerful local regime in the southwest. In 135 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Tang Meng as an envoy to Yelang. After negotiations, the Marquis of Yelang agreed to set up prefectures and counties in his territory. In 126 B.C., Yelang County and Qielan County were established. In 111 B.C., the county was set up. In 25 B.C., the Yelang Kingdom was destroyed, and the county system was finally established in the Yelang area. During the Three Kingdoms period, most of the southwest belonged to the Shu Han regime, and Guizhou belonged to the counties of Yayu, Zhuti, Xinggu, Jianghan, and Fuling. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Jin Dynasty, in addition to the establishment of the county, the remote areas also belonged to Zhuti, Jianghan and other counties. During the Sui Dynasty, there were two counties in Guizhou, namely, Yuzhou and Mingyang. Today, the northeastern part of Guizhou belongs to Qian 'an County and Yuanling County. During the Tang Dynasty, the system of Jingzhi Prefecture and Jimi Prefecture was implemented in Guizhou today. The Jingzhi Prefecture established in Guizhou included Bozhou and Sizhou, while the Jimi Prefecture established in Guizhou included Juzhou and Manzhou. During the Song Dynasty, the current Guizhou area mainly belonged to Kuizhou Road, while the other areas belonged to Kuizhou Road, Jinghu North Road, Tongchuan Road, Guangnan West Road, Jiannan West Road, Jiannan East Road, etc. In 974 AD, Pugui, the leader of the indigenous people, submitted to the Song Dynasty with the Ju Prefecture under his control. The Song Dynasty had written in the imperial edict that "Guizhou is the only place in the world, far away in the wilderness." This was the earliest record of the area under the name of Guizhou. During the Yuan Dynasty, the chieftain system was implemented all over Guizhou, which belonged to Huguang, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. During the Ming Dynasty, the establishment of the Guizhou Administrative Commissioner Department and the official establishment of Guizhou Province was the beginning of Guizhou's name. During the Qing Dynasty, Zunyi Prefecture and its subordinate counties in Sichuan were transferred to Guizhou. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally exciting.
