Shooting = How to be a good person！

The way of archery is like a road, and there is a sequence for entering the road. If you find the right road and follow it, you will first enter the door, then go up to the hall, and then enter the room, and you will reach your destination in a few days. If you do not find the right road and take it, once you enter the side door, you will be like a swallow or a passerby, and the faster you go, the farther you will go.


The above is what the archery master of the Ming Dynasty said in the preface to the shortcut door of "Wu Jing She Xue Zheng Zong". The general meaning is: the way of archery is like a road. You must choose the right road to reach your destination quickly. If you do not choose the right road and enter the side door, you will be like a swallow or a passerby, and the farther you go.

"Wu Jing She Xue Zheng Zong" [Ming Gao Ying [Author] "Wu Jing She Xue Zheng Zong" was written in the late Ming Dynasty. Due to the chaotic situation, it was not published and was preserved in Japan in the form of handwritten copies. In the 1970s and 1980s, this book was obtained and published by Mr. Lin Zhongming, the then Secretary-General of the Taiwan Archery Association, and circulated on the Internet in the form of photocopies, becoming an ancient book of enlightenment for many traditional archery enthusiasts in China.

Gao Ying recounted his experience of learning archery in the preface to the shortcut door: when he was young, he had just learned archery, his muscles and bones were strong, and he could draw the bow to the full, and after practicing the movements, he could hit the bull's eye. But a few years later, although he was still energetic, he had become hasty in drawing the bow. , it is difficult to draw the bow fully, and the longer you shoot, the farther the arrow will deviate from the center of the target. Looking at the Three Wus, there are many people who are good at bow and arrow shooting, but many people start to suffer from various diseases after a few years, and fewer and fewer people can hit the target. Why is this? Mr. Gao Ying attributed the reason to the fact that they drew the bow recklessly when they first started to learn archery, or learned poor archery techniques, and strayed into the side door, so they could never get on the right path again.

This is haste makes waste." Ying asked, with the method detailed in the article, so that people can follow the path and not be misled by the evil path. It will take no more than a hundred days, and no more than a year, and you can hit the target. Its effect is the quickest. Therefore, it is named the shortcut. People in the world only want to see results overnight, and they are shocked when they hear the saying of a year. Who knows that shooting without the method will go further and further, and you will not achieve anything in your old age. "

Mr. Gao Ying said that although he has summarized the correct techniques for future generations to learn, so as to prevent them from being confused by unorthodox methods, as long as they are willing to stick to his techniques, the practitioners' performance will improve after no more than 100 days at the earliest and no more than a few years at the longest. However, those people only want to learn something that will produce results within a few days, and they are scared when they hear that it will take one or two years. Therefore, he can only express his regret for those people who "have grown old without success".

This sentiment is still thought-provoking to read today.
In the information age, "fast" has become a fashion. People have to take trains and high-speed trains to go out, and they have to order fast food and fast food to eat. Various "crash courses" have emerged one after another, and Internet celebrities have become college graduates. The first choice of employment... In short, the atmosphere of "become famous as early as possible and make money as quickly as possible" is everywhere, and it seems that you will be left behind by the world if you are not careful.

However, many seemingly tempting shortcuts often hide traps behind them. "Qianbao.com", which is famous for its high returns, has been confirmed to be a Ponzi scheme. The Kuaishou anchor who relied on vulgarity to attract attention was banned. Most people who fall into the side door and fall miserably. On the contrary, those who walk on the right path with their feet on the ground are gradually getting closer to their ideals.

The right path may seem boring and difficult, but as long as you stick to it, it can lead you to the desired goal and avoid detours. In the long run, this is the real shortcut!
