hash activities have no fixed members and organizations, and there is no fixed pattern. The specific practices of each city are different, but all hashes have two themes in common: running and beer, so its participants call themselves "the running club with a drinking problem". After decades of development, hash activities have gone beyond simple physical exercise activities and formed a distinctive and unique culture.
1. Hash activities advocate a spirit of natural health, solidarity, friendliness, positivity and self-challenge.
the most important thing in hash is running, which is interesting and difficult. At each activity, one or two participants volunteered to play the role of "hare", setting up complicated routes in the wild in advance, while the participants who called themselves "harriers" followed them, looking for clues left by rabbits in the hot sun or pouring rain. Whether climbing mountains or wading across rivers, cutting through thorns or trampling on dung, as long as it is the route laid by rabbits, the hounds will run to the end without hesitation and never cut corners. Running for an hour or two like this not only exercised the body, but also tempered the will. In the process of tracking, every time the hounds reach a fork in the road, they need to work together and find their way separately, so as to find the right road as quickly as possible. When encountering ditches or thorns, participants will reach out and help each other. If someone loses his way, he will not only experience a challenge to his adaptability, but also experience the unity and friendship shown by his companions in the process of looking for him.
second, the Hash activity embodies a humorous, cheerful, open-minded and natural and casual attitude towards life.
what modern people who are busy in the reinforced concrete jungle need most is to be close to nature and relax their nervous body and mind, which is exactly the lifestyle that people who participate in hash admire.
Humor is the * * * nature of hash participants all over the world. What they are best at is self-mockery-calling themselves "hunting dogs", and the hash participants in Haikou also call themselves "pests". Everyone has a ridiculous and even disgusting nickname, such as "selling girls' little matches", "fleshy meat" and "dirty fish". Singing, telling stories, telling jokes, playing tricks on each other, gagging ... Every hash activity is full of laughter and happiness.
Look at the muddy running shoes and the legs covered with grass thorns. After drinking a cold beer and singing a song, I can't help but feel heroic. I have long since disappeared from the office. Old and new friends shouted together in the open field, told jokes and amused themselves, sang and laughed heartily, danced and danced in the music, tired of the body, and completely relaxed the mind.
During the Hash activity, you are not allowed to engage in business activities, make cell phones or talk about work. All participants call each other by nicknames, away from the copper stink and complicated personnel relations, which provides an environment for the growth of pure friendship. It's no wonder that many people in Hash have become congenial friends, only to suddenly find that they don't even know what business the other person is doing or whether they are married.
Hash activities are not for profit, and the balance of each activity is included in the fund for large-scale activities; All the work was done by participant Qi Xin; Rabbits in each period are free to organize a run as they wish. This is the charm of hash: it provides an opportunity for participants to show their true selves.
It is out of love for nature that Hash participants pay special attention to environmental protection. Empty bottles and cans are absolutely not allowed to be thrown, garbage bags must be made of degradable plastics, no philandering, no trampling on crops, and so on. These rules are strictly observed by every hash participant and practiced in life. Participants in Haikou hash have also organized activities to clean up garbage at scenic spots such as Wuzhishan, Yalong Bay and Jianfengling.
third, Hash is an activity of gathering and communicating various cultures.
Hash activities are not just sports and leisure activities. Hash participants have a strong desire to be encouraged and publicized in this relaxed environment. They have created various distinctive hash logos, adapted thousands of hash songs, made countless T-shirts, hats and coasters with different styles, and published a large number of hash magazines, newspapers and brochures, which are exquisite or simple but equally wonderful. On the Internet, you can find hundreds of hash websites by typing "hash" or "hhh" for search. It can be said that hash has its own culture. After taking part in hash activities, some people may dislike this culture, but no one will forget it. It has its own unique and unforgettable flavor.
In addition to deriving its own culture, the Hash activity has reflected the collision and communication of different cultures from the very beginning. The first hash run was organized by British people living in Malaysia. Hash around the world attracts people from all kinds of cultures, especially foreigners living in the local area. This is particularly obvious in the hash of countries outside Britain and the United States. Therefore, in addition to the obvious flavor of British and American cultures, hash has also become an activity of various cultures. For example, most hashhes in China have become the favorite activities of foreigners and China people, and English has become the main means of communication, but their logos and T-shirts are designed with strong China culture. Hash is also a global leisure activity. In addition to local hash activities, there are also regional activities such as Pan-Asian hash and Pan-Pacific hash held regularly, and there is also a Global Hash every four years. This large-scale hash is a gathering of fans from all over the world, which is virtually a cultural event. Hash activity is born with the characteristics of tolerance and freedom, which provides an equal, relaxed, free and free environment for participants from different cultural backgrounds. All participants come and go freely, and they are responsible for their words, deeds and safety. No matter their nationality, age, race, color, occupation or education level, they are only one of the two roles of "hunting dog" or "rabbit", commensurate with nicknames, and even their real names are unknown. Under the two themes of "running" and "beer", the participants completely put down their faces and prejudices, broke all kinds of artificial barriers and barriers, really played together, developed friendship, learned from each other's strong points, and showed their respective elegant demeanor to the fullest.
hash in Haikou was initiated by foreigners at the earliest, which attracted many white-collar workers and English lovers from foreign companies besides foreigners living in Haikou. Later, foreigners who like hash gradually left Haikou. Now, the people who participate in hash in Haikou are mainly China people, most of whom are mainlanders living in Haikou. The origin, activity form and spirit of Hash itself have a strong western cultural color, which will inevitably have a certain impact on its participants, and China's ancient culture has also branded hash with a unique imprint.
participants in Haikou hash are old and young, men and women, who come from all levels of society and have different cultural attainments and outlook on life. When they come to participate in hash, they not only face the impact of the western culture of hash itself, but also face the conflict brought by different ideas. But as long as people who love sports and nature accept hash, they will also accept its tolerant and free atmosphere and colorful culture, and naturally they will become more tolerant and better at understanding others.
it is precisely because of the unique cultural charm of hash that this leisure activity has lasted for nearly 7 years, and it has been popular in thousands of cities around the world and has attracted wide attention from all walks of life. Especially, the trans-regional hash held regularly, such as the hash around the Asia-Pacific region or the hash around Southeast Asia, is held in different cities every time, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the host city to develop local tourism.
News
Sichuan News Network-Chengdu Business News "Rabbit, run, don't look back, five hounds are right behind you, and they will catch up." Yesterday afternoon, with Yulin North Road as the center, there suddenly appeared more than 2 young people sweating and running in the scorching sun on the streets in four directions. They are young netizens of "Chengdu Online". They regard the whole city as their "playground" and play a healthy and leisure game that is popular all over the world-"Urban Hunting Dog Action". It seems that this traditional gathering method of foreigners living in a foreign land has gradually become a leisure activity that Chengdu white-collar workers love.
explanation of terms
urban dog hunting, which is called Hash House Harriers, is a worldwide leisure and fitness activity, representing a healthy, true, natural and slightly different attitude towards life. It is carried out in thousands of cities all over the world. There is no fixed pattern of HASH activities, and the practices of different cities are different, and there are no fixed HASH members and organizations, but running and beer are indispensable in all hashes.
the hash rule originated from the traditional British paper tracking game. Now, HASH has spread all over the world, and many people even take pleasure in participating in HASH and collecting different HASH T-shirts around the world. In the first game, the loser must sit on the ice.
Rules of Action
Rabbits run first,
Hunting dogs follow by arrows
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, netizens appeared in the concave-convex bar on Yulin North Road one after another. "I'm a rabbit, and my screen name is' hilarious'." "I'm a hunting dog, and my screen name is' Da Guai'. Which group am I in?" In the face of this group of chattering young people, the staff "Bing Xin Doll" waited until their voices became hoarse before putting them in place one by one: eight rabbits, wearing uniform red T-shirts, ran in four directions, southeast and northwest, two in each direction, one man and one woman. There are 19 hounds with white, blue, green and black T-shirts.
People who dress up as rabbits have a map, and they will run away according to the route on the map. Fifteen minutes after the rabbit set out, the hounds began to move. They didn't know the rabbit's running route in advance, so they could only look for it according to the arrow left by the rabbit at each corner. Before the rabbit runs back to the bar, if the hound catches a rabbit, the hound wins, and vice versa.
The hunting started.
I ran dizzy.
The rabbit was blocked by the hounds at the door and eaten.
"Ready, run!" At 3: 1 pm, eight rabbits embarked on a journey for their lives. In order to prevent cheating, all their mobile phones were seized by the team members. On the east line, return to the starting point via the First Ring Road, Kehua Road and Renmin South Road; The southern line passes through Shenxianshu North Road and Nijiaqiao; The west line passes Fangcao Street, Xiaojiahe Street, Yongfeng overpass and Yulin South Road. The northern line passes through the First Ring Road, Ximianqiao Street, Telecom Road and Renmin South Road.
full of confidence, the northern rabbits "Maizi" and "Alalei" ran to the first intersection in more than ten seconds, and they posted the first turning sign on the ground-a self-adhesive arrow about 15 cm wide and 3 cm long. The sun shone in the sky and ran for more than 1 meters. "Ala Lei" could no longer run, so "Wheat" had to reluctantly leave her and continue to flee for life. When I ran to the telecom road, "Wheat" was too tired to step, and looked back from time to time for fear that the hounds would catch up. "You are playing, come on, young man!" An uncle on the roadside was busy cheering him up. With uncle's encouragement, "Wheat" came back to life. At about 3: 5, "Wheat" was the first to successfully escape the pursuit and return to the bar.
The situation on other routes is not good-the rabbit on the western route posted the wrong road sign, and the hound "Da Guai" on the eastern route took a shortcut in a muddle. The southern rabbit "genius wolf" is even more unique. Because of the wrong route, he arrived nearly half an hour later than everyone else. Unfortunately, he became the only rabbit that the hounds caught in front of the bar by waiting for him.
Punishment
Sit on the ice pile and drink up a bottle of beer
Although the hounds have many reservations about the rules of the game, such as waiting for 15 minutes too long, and the arrows left by the rabbits on the road are easily taken away by passers-by or the wind, after friendly consultations, the organizer "Chengdu Online" administrator "Snake Scorpion" still decided that the rabbits on the east and north lines won, while the rabbits on the south line and those who posted the wrong road signs won. The loser will be greeted by the universal punishment-sitting on a biting ice pile and drinking a bottle of beer.
In the screams, thousands of ice cubes were spread on a chair in two layers. "Genius Wolf" was punished to be the first to sit on the ice. But as soon as his ass touched the chair, the "genius wolf" was bounced up with cold. In applause and laughter, two netizens stepped forward to hold his shoulder, so he had to endure the cold, shout "cool" and finish his beer. In addition to the success of the western rabbit's "laughing" argument, the remaining losers all sat on the ice chairs one by one.
The organizer said that
it was a "fresh"
The administrator of "Chengdu Online" told reporters that a few months ago, he happened to see the "urban dog hunting action"-HASH on the Internet, so two weeks ago, they began to plan their own Hash of Chengdu netizens and made clothes and road signs. The netizens of "Chengdu Online" are mostly young people. They don't like playing mahjong to fight landlords. What they want is a unique way of playing which belongs to urban young people. What they want is positive, healthy and fresh excitement. "Most of us don't know each other's real names and occupations, which allows us to put aside our identities and positions in real life and gain a simple happiness in sports and experience. This is what we want to play."
It is reported that netizens of "Chengdu Online" often launch various fresh ways of playing online, such as "Role Experience on the Edge of the City" and "Car Chat", etc. Any netizen who wants to participate in the activity can just leave his own screen name and contact information.
Netizen confesses
I'm tired of sitting,
Why not come out for a walk?
The netizens who participated in yesterday's "Urban Dog Hunting Action" were mostly young people around the age of 25, and many of them were white-collar workers in the financial industry, planning industry and design industry. Usually, most of them stay in the office building and lack exercise. Yesterday, they got a rare relaxation.

Although I am the first "rabbit" to reach the finish line, I usually stay in the office all day and have little chance to stretch my muscles. Alas, I'm busy at work. place
