160 years later, the quality of bows and arrows made in Song Dynasty is so high.
Personally, I think that when it comes to the high-quality and well-preserved bows and arrows made in the Song Dynasty, it should be attributed to the following aspects:
First, the traditional agriculture was mature and the industry and commerce were developed in the Song Dynasty. Some scholars pointed out that the iron output in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty was between 75,000 tons and 654.38+0.5 million tons, which was 2.5 times to 5 times that of Britain in 654.38+0.64 years, and equivalent to Europe in 654.38+08 century.
2. In Hua Yue's "Journey to the North through Cuiwei" in the Southern Song Dynasty, he said: "Thirty has six weapons, the bow is the first, and the martial arts is nine times out of ten, and the bow is the first." Historically, bows and arrows, as an essential weapon for defensive attack, are indispensable for any country. This shows that the attention paid to bows and arrows in the Song Dynasty can be seen.
Fourth, although the bow and arrow in Song Dynasty is extremely lethal, it is complicated to make. Due to the continuous wars from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, the material consumption was too large to meet.
Finally, I have to mention the demise of the Song Dynasty: generally speaking, it boils down to "releasing military power by spilling cups", "valuing literature over martial arts", "the emperor is fatuous", "eunuchs monopolize power", "usurping the throne by powerful ministers" and "invasion by foreign enemies".
