What are the difficulties and factors to realize the modern value of China's traditional archery?

Traditional archery is a treasure in China's traditional culture and a great creation of the Chinese nation, which contains the unique cultural characteristics of Chinese civilization. However, due to various factors, the traditional archery in China is almost extinct at present. Although it has very rich modern value, there are still some difficulties in the process of realizing its value, which is very unfavorable to the inheritance and development of traditional archery culture in contemporary society. In order to better inherit and carry forward the national traditional sports culture, people need to inherit this ancient project.

First, the development of traditional archery is unbalanced.

Traditional archery has been widely carried out in many areas of China, especially in Qinghai Province, where it has a very broad mass base. The number, level and participating countries of archery events held in Qinghai Province are beyond the reach of other provinces. Generally speaking, the current traditional archery activities in Qinghai Province have a good development prospect. However, compared with Qinghai province, the mass base of traditional archery activities in other parts of China is relatively weak, and archery projects can only be offered in advanced sports clubs and sports technical colleges.

Second, it lacks the overall cultural system of traditional archery in China.

In the process of reviving and developing traditional archery in various regions of China, some regions simply reflect the cultural attributes and characteristics of local traditional archery, but do not fully reflect the overall cultural characteristics of traditional archery in China. Some regions just blindly pursue the economic value of traditional archery culture and ignore its cultural value. In addition, the traditional archery activities in China have a very long history of development and rich cultural connotations, but in the process of developing traditional archery activities in various regions of China, no unified core values have been formed. These problems lead to the lack of the overall cultural system of traditional archery in China, so it is necessary to reconstruct the traditional archery cultural system in an all-round way to contribute to the sustainable development of traditional archery in China.

Third, the government's support for traditional archery culture is not enough.

First of all, the government's propaganda and funding for traditional archery activities are not enough. Since modern times, the state, media and citizens have gradually attached importance to western competitive sports, but neglected the importance of China's traditional sports culture. In this environment, people's interest in traditional archery activities is also greatly reduced. Secondly, the industrialization level of traditional archery is not high. Because traditional archery requires high venues and equipment, and it needs long-distance shooting, it has certain lethality, and people's understanding of traditional archery is not sufficient, which greatly limits the industrialization development of traditional archery.
