INFORMATION

Product introduction

★ Reproduction of the classic collection from the National Science and Technology Museum of Taiwan, showcasing the unrivaled elegance of ancient Chinese weapons！★

The lightweight version of the original crossbow has been scaled down to a smaller size, making it easier for children to handle during shooting! Children can assemble and test the crossbow themselves, observing differences in the string's curve, tension, and shooting range. This allows them to gradually apply the physics, science, and math knowledge they have learned from their textbooks, while also experiencing the historical significance of the original crossbow, making learning more engaging.

The design process adheres to the principles of STEAM education, emphasizing hands-on skills, innovation, and invention. By using wooden educational tools, we aim to enhance calculation, thinking, and judgment skills, sparking children's curiosity. We also prioritize product safety, which is why we use suction cup soft darts to ensure safe shooting during tests. Children can take it outside and use it in open spaces both indoors and outdoors, making it an ideal educational toy that combines learning with play!

｜A story of original crossbow｜

The crossbow, known as the "nu" in ancient times and also referred to as the standard crossbow, evolved from the traditional bow and arrow. The concept involves adding a frame and mechanism to the original bow and arrow, allowing the mechanism to hold the drawn bowstring for aiming and shooting. This improvement addressed the limitations of the traditional bow and arrow, which required manual effort to draw the string, made prolonged aiming difficult, and had a limited range. After the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods 886-6-2435738 BC), the crossbow became widely used and became a standard weapon in the ancient Chinese military.
