How did the history of Lu Xi cockfighting come about

Cockfighting is an ancient entertainment activity. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, and Tang Dynasty, the trend of cockfighting was most prevalent. Legend has it that in 681 BC, Duke Huan of Qi summoned the feudal lords to suppress the Song Dynasty and captured success in Beixing. He once built a platform to celebrate his victory with cockfighting. According to the 9th year edition of the Chengwu County Annals in the Qing Dynasty, the cockfighting platform is located behind Wenting Mountain, about one mile northwest of the county town. There are various legends of cockfighting and the music piece "Remembering the Past at the Cockfighting Terrace" circulating among the folk in western Shandong. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, cockfighting was once regarded as a leisure activity for the idle class and was suspended. Its breeding population suddenly declined and almost disappeared. Restoration began after 1978. In 1981, the Shandong Provincial Animal Husbandry Bureau decided that Juancheng County would undertake the protection and breeding of the Luxi fighting chicken breed, and established the "Juancheng County Luxi Fighting Chicken Breeding Farm". The biting chickens cultivated in this field have a strong physique, well-developed muscles, and fast growth rate. They can grow up to about 5 kilograms per year and produce more than 80 eggs annually. Three strains of fighting chickens, black, white, and yellow, have been cultivated. By 1988, the number of chickens raised in Juancheng County had reached over 2000, and some high-quality breeds were also transported to Chengwu, Heze and other places
