The essence of China culture:

China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and "ceremony" is the essence of China culture. The ancient "ritual shooting" not only infiltrated and integrated the splendid historical civilization of China for thousands of years, but also deeply influenced the world. It is an important part of human civilization and a moral code that human beings abide by in order to maintain and develop excellent social order and ecological harmony. It is the crystallization of human civilization and wisdom. "Rite" and "Shooting" are respectively one of the six great arts in ancient China, including "Rite, Music, Shooting, Imperial, Calligraphy and Numbering".

China's thought of "The Book of Rites Shooting Righteousness" was introduced to Japan in the Edo period, which gave birth to the "literary shooting" ceremony of Japanese archery in the Edo period. Along with the shooting training in the Edo era of modern Japanese Bow Road, the book of Rites is regarded as a national classic.

The nature, purpose and practice of shooting ceremony in the Book of Rites are based on the guiding ideology of shooting ceremony.
