射箭
射箭，是中國古代一項歷史悠久的傳統(tǒng)體育項目，它源于遠古人類進行狩獵和保衛(wèi)自身安全的需要。在中國古代，射箭不僅作為一項軍事體育項目而發(fā)展，同時也是學(xué)校體育教育的主要內(nèi)容之一。到清代末年，隨著科學(xué)技術(shù)的不斷發(fā)展，射箭逐漸喪失了它的軍事作用，成了一項專門的傳統(tǒng)體育運動形式。
Archery
As a time-honoured sport, archery was widely used in hunting and for self-defence, and as a major subject in military training and school education, until the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) when it gradually lost its military significance and became a pure sport.
