Abstract: Ju Yuan Hao bow & arrow-making workshop used to be one of 17 imperial bow
and arrow-making workshops which located at Dongsi street. This workshop is the only bow and
arrow-making workshop that keeps bow and arrow-making tradition. The Ju Yuan Hao bow is one
kind of recurve bow which has a curevature when it is unstrung. Craftsmen first make a core for
the bow from thin bamboo and attach the wooden grip and the ears. Then they firmly glue horn
and sinew to the core. Finally craftsmen decorated bow with birch bark, symbols and lacquer
etc.The traditional bow and arrow have almost lost their market since 1960s. In order to continue
keeping this technical tradition, the owner of Ju Yuan Hao, Mr. Yan Wentong, passed on his
technology to his third son, Yang Fuxi. While Mr. Yang Fuxi made a bow and a few arrows in
2003, armed with camera and pickup camera, we systematically recorded his technology and
knowledge about bow and arrow-making. This investigation may help us have a deep
understanding of technical tradition and keep it.
Key words: Ju Yuan Hao, workshop, bow & arrow, traditional technology
