The background of Zhao Wuling's riding and shooting;
When King Wuling of Zhao ascended the throne in the Warring States Period, Zhao was in a period of national decline, and even small neighboring countries like Zhongshan often invaded. Zhao watched himself being swallowed up by other countries. In particular, Zhao is adjacent to East Lake in the northeast, Xiongnu in the north, and Loufan in the northwest. These tribes are nomadic people and are good at riding horses and archery. They often invade the border of Zhao with cavalry.
King Wuling of Zhao saw that the Hu people had some special advantages in military costumes: wearing narrow sleeves and short coats made life and hunting more convenient; The use of cavalry and bows and arrows in combat is more flexible than the chariots and spears in the Central Plains.
King Wuling, who has great ambitions for the strength of Zhao, has a real understanding of the superiority of Hu people's cavalry. He thought this was Qiang Bing's way of refitting the army by riding and shooting, so he slowly said to the General Building, What should we do if our country is surrounded by powerful enemies? "I want to be Khufu."
Therefore, in order to enrich, King Wuling of Zhao put forward the idea of "wearing Hu clothes" and "learning to ride and shoot" in Handan City, and was determined to make use of the advantages of Hu people to make up for the shortage of the Central Plains.
