Whole poem translation:
Draw the hardest bow and shoot the longest archery. If you shoot a person, you must shoot a horse. If you catch a thief, you must catch their king. There is a limit to hurting people, and every country has its borders. As long as we can stop the enemy's aggression, is it necessary to hurt more people in war?
Appreciate:
The first four sentences, two "when" and two "first", are very similar to the teaching formula of the army. I seem to have heard instructors teach recruits during training.
Four juxtaposed sentences are quite imposing to read. It is definitely a summary of the army's combat experience. At that time, the border war continued, and training was also essential. This poem emphasizes the importance of soldiers in battle. Bows and arrows are powerful weapons to defeat the enemy. When you use the arrow well, master the essentials of killing the enemy and capture the enemy commander alive, the victory will naturally belong to you.
