Why is the first place the champion?

The origin of these titles is related to the army. The crown is a hat, which is used as a leader. In ancient China, people who had distinguished themselves in military exploits and were brave and good at fighting were named "top-ranked generals", meaning the crown of generals; Asia is second only to the champion and is the "runner-up"; The third place is called "the third place", which is named after the festival. Because there are three months in a season, the third month of each season is called "season" and the third place is called "third place"; Generally, the top three are selected in the competition, and the last one is named "Dianjun". Because the ancient army marched, the troops who served as guards were called "Yunnan Army", hence the name.
