How many pounds is the maximum tension of traditional bow suitable?

Both civil and military skills are usually commendatory terms to describe a person's literary talent and martial arts. However, according to historical research, all previous dynasties valued literature over martial arts. China had a complete imperial examination system, which lasted until the Qing Dynasty, and martial arts experienced several ups and downs. Usually people have an illusion that most people who study martial arts are uneducated people, but they don't know that this is not a position that ordinary people can do.

Martial arts exams have to pass "five passes and six generals", and each dynasty has its own specific standards. In the Tang dynasty, in addition to testing the value of force, we must also look at the face value. In the Song Dynasty, we needed to test the military strategy. In the Qing dynasty, we paid more attention to martial arts, and drawing a hard bow, dancing a broadsword and cutting stones were all compulsory items. Riding and archery is an event that will be involved in every dynasty, especially archery with bow.

As the saying goes, there is no turning back when opening the bow. Why not? Because the strength is too great, I don't know how to turn back. In ancient martial arts, the strength to open a hard bow was more than 180 kg (8 1kg), so modern people may not even be able to open a bow.

Bow and arrow culture has a long history in China. There were myths and legends before the establishment of the dynasty, and Hou Yi shot at the sun. From a modern point of view, how much effort it takes to shoot down the sun in the sky is also a divine man, but it can also be seen that archery needs the help of divine power.

On the other hand, it is because all previous dynasties valued literature over martial arts, especially the Song Dynasty, which was beaten out of the water by other countries. However, there was a famous soldier in the Song Dynasty who was good at archery, which made people applaud. This person is Yue Fei. In The Biography of Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty, it was mentioned that "Yue Fei, the word Ju Peng ... was born with divine power, without a crown, with a bow of 300 Jin and a crossbow of eight stones", which was really based on strength.

Most archers are extremely strong and are rare generals in the military camp. Yang was a general in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is said that he can draw a thousand-Jin bow, hit a hundred shots, and pierce Yang with a hundred paces, because his archery is excellent and his reputation is abroad.

General Li Guang pierced the stone with one arrow, General Xue pierced the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows, and Lu Bu drew a bow of 65,438+0,200 Jin, and one arrow hit the tender branch of the painting halberd 65,438+0,50 paces away. They go down in history with their own strength and are rare military commanders.

The martial arts system in Jin Dynasty and Qing Dynasty was strict and the admission was fair. Each level is mainly based on shooting, which is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The first level is: can hold a stone bow (now 7 1.6kg), shoot a vertical target at a distance of 150 steps (230.4 meters), and hit an arrow.

According to modern people, if you can't see your head three meters away, you can't even see where the arrow target is. Medium: can pull eight barrel bows (now 57.3kg), inferior: can pull seven barrel bows. The action of Jin Dynasty promoted the development of Wushu.

The Qing Dynasty was conquered by Manchu people, who were called the people on horseback and advocated riding and shooting. There are four subjects in the martial arts examination in Qing dynasty: children's examination, township examination, general examination and palace examination. The bow must be subjected to 8 forces (80kg), 10 force (100kg) and 12 force (120kg), and the bow must be fully opened. It is conceivable that how much effort is needed to open the bow. If you don't have a skill, you will never be able to get ahead.

The bow will be full three times, the knife will dance back and forth, and the stone will fall to the ground, knee or chest. How is a good bow made? There are many processes in the middle, and the choice of raw materials is also very important.

Because the forces are complementary, the ancients needed more than 180 kg to open a hard bow. This shows that the toughness of the bow is very good, and the tension and tension should be well controlled to prevent easy deformation. A good bow must take a lot of thought.

On TV, we often see some people with jade fingers in their hands when they draw a bow. In fact, pulling fingers is equivalent to the protective gear when pulling a bow. If the strong bow used is 75kg, if it is full, it is equivalent to lifting a weight of 75kg in your hand. Bowing is a very laborious job, and it is easy to cut. The jade finger is worn on the thumb to hook the strings.

A good bow needs Bole's appreciation. According to different personal characteristics, archers must be consistent with the temperament of bows in order to play their greatest role. Many people were deeply attracted to watching bow-pulling and archery on TV when they were young. I secretly made wood and glue lines myself. It is conceivable that this bow may break as soon as it is pulled, or it may bounce back and not shoot. It can be seen that bow archery is also a delicate technical activity, which not everyone can do.

Due to the development of war, weapons are also progressing, and crossbows have appeared. The crossbow is an improved version of the bow and arrow. Crossbows are characterized by short range, short time consumption and great power. Bows and arrows are more powerful than crossbows, take more time and have a long range, each with its own advantages. When it comes to bows and arrows, you have to mention slingshots. As the old saying goes, "crossbows are born of bows, and bows are born of bullets." Experts and scholars believe that the prototype of bow and arrow is transformed from slingshot.

After the Qing Empire finally opened the martial arts system, it was obvious that our weapons could not compete with other countries. The power of cold weapons has also drawn down the curtain. Wushu began in the Tang Dynasty and ended in the Qing Dynasty 190 1. When the dynasty is gone, the martial arts will be finished? No, the riding and shooting spirit has been continuing, and the current competitive spirit is the best interpretation of the riding and shooting spirit.

There are many sports competitions. Archery competition is different from the past, strength is secondary, accuracy is primary, and the advantages and disadvantages are judged mainly by hitting the bull's-eye within a few rings. There are both men's competitions and women's competitions.

Does the modern bow need less tension? Yes The ancient people's arm strength is amazing. An elite shooter can open a hard bow, a full bow and an arrow weighing 70 kilograms. The power should not be underestimated.

In general competitive activities in modern society, the minimum bow-pulling is 18 kg, which is 10kg, mainly for entertainment and safety. Moreover, the ancient bow mainly focused on lethality. When applied to the battlefield, it would be full of bows, and without strength, it would be impossible to open the bow.

Archery needs strength, but it also needs good posture. Beginners should first learn to bow and stand correctly, which can save some energy. Bowing involves arm strength, front and back strength, and also requires constant training and persistence.

The strength needed to draw a bow is not only the competition of strength, but also the output of culture, and strength is also a symbol. For example, Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty, made great efforts to rule the country. Strength can also be a kind of beauty, such as the fashion of throwing pots in the Spring and Autumn Period. Strength can also be a skill, such as breaking a big stone on the chest of a street performer in the street.

Although society has entered the era of science and technology, cold weapons have become a thing of the past, but the spirit of riding and shooting continues. In a more convenient way, archery has become one of the Olympic events.

In the process of learning bows and arrows, we not only lament the wisdom and strength of our ancestors, but also admire them. The wisdom of our ancestors will benefit future generations. At that time, there were many skilled craftsmen and heroes of the times, and beauty and strength could coexist in the long river of the times.

Bow and arrow culture is a colorful stroke in history, a sport with the spirit of struggle and competition, and also has the excellent qualities of "beauty", "courage" and "benevolence".
