Traditional Chinese Archery, Modern Archery, Comparison, Transformation.Abstract
This article compares and analyzes Chinese traditional archery and modern archery from five dimensions: historical origin, technical characteristics, cultural connotations, educational functions, and modern transformation. Chinese traditional archery, with its profound cultural connotations, emphasizes "prioritizing moral integrity" and focuses on rituals and personal cultivation. In contrast, modern archery is oriented towards "prioritizing performance," emphasizing competitiveness and technical breakthroughs. The two differ in their educational functions, with traditional archery integrating moral education with skill development, while modern archery focuses on technical instruction. In terms of modern transformation, traditional archery revitalizes through innovative inheritance, and modern archery expands its influence through cultural integration. The future should promote deep integration of the two at the levels of "skill, art, and philosophy" to achieve complementarity and coexistence.
