🎯 Archery & Cultural Exploration

Finding patience and meaning, one arrow at a time.

🏹 How I Got Into Archery

I first embraced archery because of its precision, focus, and resilience. Like many, I was inspired watching Olympic archers with their calm composure and sharp accuracy. But for me, it became more than a sport—it became a journey into history and culture.

🌸 Discovering Traditional Bow Making

Most people see Beijing 🌆 as a city of skyscrapers and fast-paced life. Yet, tucked away in its quieter corners are places where history still lingers. That’s how I discovered the fading art of traditional Chinese bow making.

The craftsmanship blew me away: bamboo carefully bent into shape, silk strings tied with precision, and wood carved with tools that looked older than me. It wasn’t just about making a weapon—it was a cultural story stretching back to warriors, scholars, and hunters.
