At the end of 2019, the classic television series great ming fenghua set the background in the early years of ming dynasty, where the first contact between the hostess, sun roowei, and the lead man, joo-kyu, came from one of sun roo-mi's hidden piecesCobbleArrow. It's this little crossbow that, to say the least, has begun to growHistoryScrolls。
Well, as a long-range attack, ancient cold weapons, crossbows and..BowWhat are the hidden secrets of arrows, crossbows and bows
It's early
The site is located near the village of suzhou, shanxi province, 100 metres north and south and 15 metres east and west. According to the carbon isotopes of the 14th century, the absolute age of the standoff sites is approximately 28,000 years old and belongs to the old stone age. Archaeological workers have found here the sharp, sharp and sharp cylindrical pebbles made of thin longforms. The bow is the arrow. This indicates that the bow is one of the oldest weapons in the weapon。
The bow consists of a bow arm, a bow string, which releases the force accumulated during the stretching of the bow in an instant, so that the arrow or bulletball on the bow may be fired at a distance。
In the educational system of the zhou generation nobility, it is said: “the adoptive nation is the master of religion.” the so-called “six arts” refers to gifts, music, shoots, kings, books, numbers. For quite a long time in our ancient history, archery was a skill that the public doctor had to master so that it later developed into a folklore. For example, in ancient times, if any family had a boy, it would have had to hang a bow at the door, similar to the meaning of “why don't men have a hook”。
The tang six orders of the time of the great tang are divided into four categories: long bows, horn bows, little bows and bows. Long bows are equipped with infantry, horn bows are equipped with cavalry, and a small bow is used for close combat, while the bows are used for rituals。
Now, we usually use chemical fibre composites to make bow strings. So, what materials did the ancients use to make bow strings? Ming ji-sung, a scientist, told us in a/s, that the northern minority uses the oxen rib to make bow strings, while the chinese people make bow chords with silk, sack and oxen。
Sema of song dynasty wrote a book called " new scripts". The pitcher originated from the qin-era ceremony, which invited guests to shoot arrows at parties. In this book, shi magwang elaborates on the name of the pitcher and the scoring rule in terms of “grate”。
The so-called pitching of pots is roughly the rotation between the two sides of the house in favour of the unscathed, the majority of them winning, and the losing side drinking the wine as punishment. The ming poet sook has a poem cloud: "let's not ask how much to lose. Let's hope bojiangmen gets drunk."

When the ming generation is portrayed in the television series the great minghua, the pitcher becomes an advanced game with hundreds of different ways of playing. However, the pots in the palace are still very serious, and today, the “pots” in nakayama park in beijing are the places where two generations of emperors are present。
In general, the archery and arrows were not strictly managed by the ancient authorities, not only for hunting purposes, but also for meeting and drinking. However, why would sun roo xiao be upset when he saw the crossbows on the ground when he searched
The crossbow is more powerful
As an important long-range weapon of destruction in ancient times, crossbows are one of the effective weapons of infantry cavalry restraint。
In our ancient history novel, the three nations art, zhuge liange's crossbow was described as one of the secret techniques that he taught kang wei in the end. In chen's trio, it is written: “the brightness is greater than conceit, the profits and losses are more than anything else.” it is now clear that, on the basis of the crossbows invented by the previous generation, zhuang has boldly improved and designed a chain of crossbows known as the "marion" that can fire 10 eight inches at a time. The force of the crossbow is so great that chonwie used it to shoot the wei army with horses。
In fact, crossbows appeared in our country well before the trinational era. In the state policy of war, han tsai i, it is stated: “the strong crossbows are from korea.” it is clear that, as long ago as the time of the war, crossbows were used for military purposes。
The crossbow can be broadly divided into arms, bows and aircraft parts. The bows of the crossbows are wide-spreaded, and when they are launched, the string is opened and placed on the stakes of the crossbows, and the arrows are placed in the slots of the crossbows; then, the triggers let the stakes shrink and the strings fall off, using the kinetic energy of the open bows, which are quick to return, and the arrows are fired at high speed. It is particularly noteworthy that there is also a special device called the observatories on the crossbows of the ancient times. The so-called “watching mountains” are similar to the stars on our guns now. Upon arrival in sihan, there were also tics on the “observant mountain”, which allowed the shooter to adjust the angle of the launch to the target distance in order to increase the shot-out rate。

Three bow crossbows

Crossbow
Since then, the crossbows have also been accompanied by heavy weapons, such as three-bowled crossbows and winch crossbows. In the case of song dynasty's triple-bundled crossbow, it takes more than 100 people to hang axle string, with a crossbow bearing such as a spear, with a range of more than 1,000 metres。
Because of the high precision of the crossfire, the low user threshold and the high power of the crossfire, the ancient official control of crossfire was extremely strict. The tang lixing of tang dynasty clearly stipulates that: one of these shall be held in hiding and sentenced to two and a half years ' imprisonment; three shall be held in hiding and sentenced to two thousand miles ' exile; five shall be in hiding and sentenced to hanging。
In the latter part of ming dynasty, the great shari'a stipulates that bows, arrows, knives, guns, crossbows, etc., are “for all citizens”. In other words, crossbows are not prohibited. However, in the early days of the ming dynasty, as envisaged by the great minghua, the ban on crossbows since tang song remained largely in place. Sun was afraid that his hidden arrows would be found by the guard, so his heart would be scared and his heart would shake。
The bow and crossbow once lived together for a long time
A crossbow, by definition, means a soldier using a bow or crossbow。
There is a famous myth of our ancient times called the "back-slash day"; however, the legend says that the people who shot down the nine suns should be the "back-slash" or "big-sniff" rather than "back-snack" , which is many years apart. Thus, the term “things” can be described as the first crossbow in history on the land of huaxia。
The domdu poet dufu said, “return to the big man, the canal is a crossbow”. It means that chengdoda, who was entangled in his drinking, turned to his eldest son and said that he was a crossbow in the army。
In ancient times, why would bows and crossbows exist for a long time
There are advantages and disadvantages to each: the bow is more flexible in terms of firing heavy arrows, while the bow is able to draw half bows and light arrows, and once the crossbow is made, the range, the first speed, the perforation is basically fixed. The continuous combat capability and accuracy of crossbows are higher than that of bows, but they are filled and re-emerged at a much lower rate than bows. The cost of the bow is higher than the cost of crossbows, but its durability and maintenance is much higher than crossbows ..
As a weapon, bows and crossbows have a long history and have not yet completely withdrawn from the stage. Today, some special military and police units continue to use bows and crossbows as special weapons. The reason for this is that bows and crossbows have hidden advantages, such as lightless and silent, which not only kill invisibles but also avoid explosions of flammable, explosive objects. In the context of the counter-terrorism unit's operational and special operations, bows and cross-bows continue to play an irreplaceable role in terms of other technical equipment。
