Who is the character who wears a hundred paces?

Yang is a hero who wears a hundred paces. The story of crossing Yang with a hundred paces is recorded in Historical Records and Warring States Policy, and has now evolved into an idiom. This word means that you can shoot a willow leaf from a hundred paces away, and it is often used to describe a person's archery or marksmanship.

"A Hundred Steps Through Yang" tells that there was an archer named Yang in Chu during the Warring States Period, and his archery was superb. There is also a local soldier named Tiger Pan, who is also good at archery. Yang and Pan Hu look down on each other because they are both good at archery. One day, they started an archery competition. Yang suggested that they shoot willow leaves from a hundred paces away.

After listening to Yang's proposal, he thought that Yang could not have such a high archery, so he marked three leaves on the willow tree as bull's-eye. Yang retreated a hundred paces, picked up a bow and arrow, and hit three leaves with one arrow. Looking at this scene, Pan Hu couldn't help cheering loudly with the onlookers.
