Excuse me, what kind of sport was archery in ancient sports in China?

When it comes to archery, what comes to mind first? If it is Bian Xiao, Bian Xiao's first thought is the hero in the costume TV series. They can shoot three arrows at will and hit the target with a brush. Very impressive. Bian Xiao also had such a heroic dream when he was young, and wanted to be the kind of person who hit the target with one shot. So how much do you know about archery, an ancient sport? It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Next, Bian Xiao will give you a detailed introduction.

First of all, archery refers to archery with the help of the elasticity of the bow, which needs to compete with accuracy within the prescribed range. For the convenience of people, it is called archery for short. This is not only an ancient sport, but after a long period of development, this skill has not disappeared in the long river of history. Moreover, it is now an Olympic event and a relatively common sports event. It is also divided into single and two rounds of individual and team competitions, with rich forms and contents. Specifically, there are four kinds of men: 90 meters, 70 meters, 50 meters and 30 meters; There are four kinds of women: 70m, 60m, 50m and 30m. China athletes have also achieved very good results in archery, so its development in China is not bad.

Secondly, do you know how archery developed? At the beginning, we all knew that in ancient society, people had to fight with wild animals in nature if they wanted to survive. If they fight with wild animals at close range, they often get hurt by them, so people think of throwing some sharp things at wild animals in the distance. At first, it was some sharp stones and so on, and gradually evolved into such things as arrows. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, archery appeared very professional competitions, and then in the Tang and Song Dynasties, archery became more popular among the people. Then Liao, Jin and Yuan came to Tomb-Sweeping Day. Because ethnic minorities invaded the Central Plains and were good at riding and shooting, they naturally brought archery to all parts of the Central Plains.

Finally, archery is an excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, which we should inherit and carry forward. The above content only represents Bian Xiao's personal views. Please forgive me if there is any mistake.
