What is the difference between Japanese bow and archery?

Whether it is the bow and arrow, kendo, tea ceremony, all focus on the road, yes, the origin of the bow and arrow, swordsmanship, fighting, tea tasting, the Japanese have developed it into a "road" ? In today's highly developed society, what we lack most is technology, what we lack most is culture. I don't think these things should be interpreted in a one-sided way as just sports. Why else wouldn't they be called bow fighting, sword fighting, or tea fighting? For example, I have contacted and practiced Kendo, which is based on the Five Constants: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, which are the doctrines of Chinese Confucianism. Is kendo useful in modern fighting? Not much, but in Kendo, the concept of "beginning with etiquette, ending with etiquette", is it not useful in society? Tens of thousands of sword swinging, exercise is not only the body, but also persistent heart, Kendo is more concerned about "not moving the heart", "normal heart" in the society is not useful? If you do not understand, you can go to understand, but do not take their own ignorance as their rightful superiority.
