#TheRedSleeve - San and archery: a thread 🧵 #BaeksangArtsAwards2022 #Baeksang2022 #Baeksang #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung 
It’s an historical fact that JeongJo was an excellent archer (one of the best archer of Joseon along with king Taejo, the general who founded the dynasty) #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
When Deok Im confessed to her friends that the man she loves is neither a scholar or a warrior, it’s rather true & false at the same time. True bc San was the crown prince, false as he had both exceptional intellectual & physical abilities #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
Archery was not merely a form of martial arts.The ancient Chinese book, Yegi (The Book of Rites) explains that "Archery is a way of benevolence." #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
Archery was also included among the Six Arts (rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics) that formed the basis of education of Confucian gentlemen. #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
Archery also served as a barometer of combat skills in military officers. Remember ep17 of #TheRedSleeve when officers were practicing archery (and among them Deok Im’s nephew), it was probably the mugwa exam based on archery #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunHo
Jeongjo practiced archery every time he came to the Hwaseong fortress he built. Jeongjo named this bower Deukjungjeong after he hit 4 bull’s-eyes in a row. It means 'if he hits the bull’s-eye, he is eligible to be a king; if not, he is not eligible." #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo
During Joseon, archery was also popular among commoners. An archery event (hyangsarye) was held to maintain the social order and customs in the village. People also enjoyed archery as a leisure activity that held the community together, and wagered on the outcome of competitions.
Let’s finish this 🧵 with #LeeJunHo practicing archery in #TheRedSleeve in this fight scene !
