Arrows enter the pot shallowly and the pole leans on the left and right mouths of the pot, which is called "leaning on the pole". Or it is called "Wolf Pot". When throwing arrows into the pot, it is called "Inverted Middle".In the book, Sima Guang made a summary and research on the acrobatic art of throwing pots, which is very valuable.But he also far-fetchedly applied some political terms to the skill of throwing pots, which had some side effects on the development of throwing pots.
