In the early days of Wuding in the Shang Dynasty in the Yin Dynasty, the Yin tribes on the banks of the Huan River still adhered to the secular rules of "martial arts hunting belongs to men, and women keep to the boudoir." Thirteen-year-old Fu Hao was born to break away from the shackles of the world. She did not like spinning, farming and weaving. She preferred long bows and arrows. She practiced archery hard at the loess martial arts field in the center of the tribe day after day. Days of severe drought have caused the land to dry out and the old wooden archery targets to be exposed to the sun, becoming a testament to her polishing her mind day after day.
One morning, she was practicing her arrows in concentration according to the marks drawn by her father. The first three arrows missed one after another. She gave up her anxiety, adjusted her breath and calmed down, and hit the target with every arrow. This was the result of hard work day and night, but was regarded as a fluke by the five teenagers who had just finished their training. They ridiculed her in public, believing that it was impossible for a woman to be proficient in archery. Faced with everyone's ridicule and doubts, Fu Hao did not argue, she drew her bow again, shot down the original arrow that hit the target with one arrow, and the second arrow accurately hit the same bullet hole, shattering everyone's prejudices with her real bow skills.
The full text uses a morning archery practice as an epitome, depicting the character of a young woman who is calm and tolerant, mentally tough, and neither humble nor overbearing. The arrow marks left on the loess are not only the mark of archery skills, but also the mark of her growth that refuses to be defined by gender and sticks to her true heart. The sharp edge she gained while holding the bow at a young age also paved the way for her to take charge of the military power of the Shang Dynasty, preside over national sacrifices, and become the first well-documented female military strategist in China. The story is based on the growth of young people and takes into account the historical background. It has both the delicate fireworks of daily archery training and the passionate character that breaks through secular prejudices.
Intention: The girl draws her bow to break the prejudice, Yin Di shows her sharpness with an arrow
