“Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival at the Eight Great Pavilions” Woodworking Workshop

        The ritual of archery was an important ceremony in the daily life of ancient people. “Shè” refers to archery, one of the six fundamental skills that ancient scholars were expected to master. As the ancients said, “Learning is like a crossbow; talent is like an arrowhead.” This metaphor suggests that the foundation of knowledge is akin to the crossbow itself, while talent is like the arrowhead—only when guided by solid wisdom and insight can one’s talent truly shine. This Mid-Autumn Festival, at the Eight Great Masters Memorial Hall, we’ll jointly experience the art of making crossbows, touch the veins of Chinese culture, and savor the charm of Chinese civilization.
