Derby, which means in many countries, is a game played on behalf of two teams (usually football teams) located in the same city or nearby areas. For example, the North London derby is Arsenal versus Tottenham Hotspur. This word is sometimes used to describe the competition between teams in two important positions in the same region or the whole country.
The word Derby probably originated from the football match held in Ashbourne, Dyers, Derbyshire, central England, on Confession Tuesday and the first day of Lent. It started in 12 century and was held from 2 pm to 10. The whole town was divided into two teams. The players were born in Hempel Creek, which flows through the town. One team is called "Upper Ades" and the other team is called "Lower Ades". Longmen is three miles apart, and games are played in the town. This is a famous local festival.
Another theory originated from the Derby Horse Racing founded by 1780 Earl of Derby 12. "Derby" refers to the English town Derby, where horse racing is held in Britain, and the horse racing produced by Derby is even more famous in the British horse racing industry. After 1870, sir. Derby founded the British Jockey Club. He holds a horse race in Epsom near London on the first Wednesday of June every year. This is one of the most famous horse races in Britain, and this day is also named Derby Day. In horse racing, most horses come from Derbyshire, and "Derby War" is used to describe "the race between horses from Derbyshire". Gradually, "Derby" was extended to other sports fields, and the British quoted it to describe the fierce competition between two teams in the same city. This is a derby!
The atmosphere of the derby against the players and fans of both sides is more steaming than that of the general game. If the two sides have a hostile relationship with religious factions or political differences, the tension of competition will be more intense. The derby example of political hostility is Barcelona in Spain versus the Spaniards. Barcelona represents the residents who are loyal to Catalan nationalism, and the Spanish (Spanish is a Catalan-speaking Spanish) represents the residents who moved to Catalonia from other regions during Franco's period and supported the unification of Spain. In addition, Barcelona can also be regarded as a political derby against Real Madrid. Real Madrid is supported by Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, and Barcelona is a symbol of Catalonia. It opposes Franco's Spanish nationalism and is supported by the opposition and the left. An example of a religious rival derby is the old-fashioned battle in Glasgow, Scotland. Celts represent the Roman Catholic population, while vagrants represent the Protestant population in the same city.
Derby usually represents a game between two teams located in the same city or nearby area, but sometimes national rival teams in history, such as Ajax in the Netherlands versus Fiano or Inter Milan versus Juventus, can also be called Derby.

Besides football, the word "Derby" can also be used for horse racing.
"Beat/Pi" is a transliteration of the English word Derby. In the early days of Hong Kong's opening to the outside world, foreign names and names were often translated by borrowing sounds, but in order to show that this Chinese character was purely borrowed from its pronunciation, a "mouth" was added to the original word. Therefore, some people translated the English county name Derby as "Beat Pi", but others translated it as "Beat Pi" or "Derby". However, "Pi" is actually not a newly coined foreign word, it has its own original pronunciation and meaning. Whether it is taking sound or meaning, "comparison" may be more appropriate. But it has been used for more than a century, and everyone is used to it.
What's the relationship between derby and horse racing? It is said that there are several championship races with a long history in British horse racing, one of which is called St. John's race, which is named after an officer. The first Herod's King Competition was held in September 1776. 1778, edward smith Smith Stanley, Earl of Derbyshire 12, and Charles Bunbury, Senior Director of Jockey Club, proposed to add a one-and-a-half mile race specially designed for three-year-old mares in the coming year, and named it the Oak Race after Sir Derbyshire's residence. Coincidentally, Bridget, Sir Beatty's love pony, won the first oak contest held in 1779.
Because the first Oak Race was very successful, Sir Darby and his good friend Charles Bunbury planned to add a three-year-old stallion and mare race in 1780, with a journey of one mile. According to tradition, two people decide the name of the competition by tossing a dime. As a result, Beat Jazz won, so the triennial horse race was named "Beat Race". However, the first race was won by Bunbury's horse "Diomed".
Since then, the derby held in Ye Sen has become one of the most important events in British horse racing, and it is also regarded as the originator of all derby competitions in the world. Except that the distance was changed from one mile to one and a half miles (2,400 meters) in 1794, the basic competition system of this classic competition has been maintained for 223 years, and there has been no big change so far. Traditionally, the Ye Sen Jockey Club is held on the first Wednesday in June. Until 1995 was changed to Saturday, hoping to attract more horse fans. The first pony to win the Ye Sen Derby on Saturday was the King of Horses "Lammtarra". In 2000, "Sindahl" first won the Ye Sen Derby, then won the Irish Derby and the French Arc de Triomphe, becoming the European champion three-year-old horse.
After the competition was founded in Britain, other countries followed suit. Today, Europe, America, Oceania, Asia and Africa all have their own annual racing competitions.
Most of the Irish Derby races are held at the hula racecourse on Sunday in late June or early July. The most attractive thing about the Irish Derby is that He Ju is often judged to be the best three-year-old horse in Europe. Because the schedule was arranged after the derby between Britain and France, it created an opportunity for the derby champions of the two places to compete at the hula racecourse. In recent years, "Xianlida", "Mengjiu" and "Dream Well" have all become champions of the double competition here, and won the title of King of Horses in Europe for three years.
Le Prix du Jockey Club was founded in 1836, and has been held in Chantilly Racecourse every year since then. The most outstanding French derby champions in recent years are "aristocratic family" and "Peintre Celebre". After winning the French Derby, these two good horses won the highest honor of French horse racing at the age of three.
The KFC Derby in America has been held at Churchill Garden Racecourse for many years, which is located in Louisville, Kentucky. This competition was originally limited to the regional level, and by 1920, it had become the most famous event in North America. The Kentucky Derby is the first race of the triple crown horse race in the United States. The other two races are the Billy Championship and the Beaumont Championship.
Japanese Derby, also known as Tokyo army tour, was held in 1932. According to the competition system in Ye Sen, England, this event is held at Tokyo Racecourse every year. 1998, the Japanese derby champion "Tezhou" defeated the "aborigines" of the Hong Kong Horse King and the "aristocratic family" of the French Horse King in the 1999 Japan Cup, and was regarded as one of the best horses in Japan in recent years. It is worth mentioning that four of the Japanese derby champions in recent years are descendants of the American horse king "Sunday Silence".
