On December 18, the finals of the first ethnic traditional bow and arrow competition in Yunnan Province were held in the Yunnan Robot Maker Center of Kunming 871 Cultural and Creative Workshop. More than 40 players from Kunming, Qujing, Wenshan, Diqing and other prefectures and cities competed on the same stage.
The contestants are dressed in gorgeous traditional costumes and carry bows and arrows. 15-year-old Liu Yuyi has been practicing archery for 6 years, and this sport allows her to exercise her body and hone her will. "It can be tiring to practice, and an action usually takes a long time to train, but love keeps me going. In addition to practicing, I will also read ancient texts and poems, or learn some national cultures. "This time she participated in the junior group and got a good result. For He Zhigang, this is a platform for making friends and learning. "Although archery is my hobby, I actively participate in every activity, I know a lot of friends, and everyone shares happiness in a training, competition." He Zhigang said.
It is understood that the traditional bow is an important part of traditional Chinese culture, and "archery" is the first of the "six arts". Under the promotion of sports events, the competitive bow has become a major event in various sports events and is popular with the public. The traditional bow and arrow, which has a long history, has always been regarded as a "niche".
Kong Weizhong, vice chairman of the Yunnan Archery Association and president of the Traditional Bow Branch, introduced that traditional sports are part of China's national culture, and each traditional sports project is a spiritual symbol. The traditional bow and arrow, whether it is its exquisite production process or its archery skills with "ritual" as the core, is a very precious national cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. The event is the first national traditional bow competition, providing a competitive platform for the majority of traditional bow enthusiasts and archery organizations, which not only lays a good foundation for the traditional bow competition in Yunnan, but also plays a positive role in promoting the promotion of traditional bow and arrow etiquette and shooting culture.
