Six arts are six basic talents that China ancient Confucianism required students to master, and also refer to the disciplines of ancient higher education in China. Six arts have two meanings, namely, the six arts in ancient Zhou Li and the six arts after the Spring and Autumn Period proposed by Confucius.
Zhou Li's six arts are the six subjects of aristocratic education before the Western Zhou Dynasty: etiquette, music, archery, imperial art, calligraphy and mathematics.
Among them, the ceremony is divided into five ceremonies (auspicious, fierce, guest, army and Jia);
There are six kinds of music (Yunmen, Daxian, Dashao, Daxia, Daxie and Dawu).
Five shots (white arrow, joint, injection, ruler, well instrument);
There are five emperors (singing Luan, chasing water songs, crossing the king's table, dancing across the street and chasing birds left).
There are six books (pictographs, signifiers, comprehensives, pictographs, phonetic symbols, seal beads and loan words) and nine kinds.
Six basic abilities that six arts require students to master: etiquette, music, archery, imperial art, calligraphy and mathematics. Interpretation of the Five Classics: "A few artists in the Six Arts may substitute poetry for music, and those who combine ancient poetry with music are real musicians."
Ceremony: Etiquette (similar to moral education today). Five rites, auspicious, fierce, guest, army and Jia also.
Le: Music. Six kinds of music: Cloud Gate, Daxian, Dashao, Daxia, Daxie and Dawu.
Shooting: archery technique. These five shooting methods are: white arrow, joint, injection, ruler and well instrument.
White arrow: the arrow passes through the target, and the arrow is white, indicating that the arrow is accurate and powerful.
Connection: put a vector in front, and the last three vectors go away one after another. If the beads are in the same position, the vectors belong to each other.
Note: it refers to the disease of the arrow, and the aiming time is short, and the arrow will hit on the string.
Xiang Chi: I'll shoot with you. I'll stand side by side with you and let you take a step back.
Well gauge: the four vectors are coherent and all hit the target.

Confucian Confucius' "Rite, Music, Shooting, Imperial, Calligraphy and Numbering" are collectively called "Six Arts".
Etiquette: mainly refers to moral education. "It is untenable not to learn etiquette." You can't stand up and be a man without learning etiquette.
Music: not only refers to aesthetic education; Rites are external, while joy is internal. Joy makes everyone blind date, courtesy makes everyone respect each other; Music makes everyone the same, while ceremony makes everyone different, which is clearly written in the Book of Rites.
