[Idiom]: 100 shots

Pinyin: g

[Explanation]: Describe accurate archery or gun, and hit the target every time. It is also a metaphor for having a full grasp of things.

【Idiom Story】:

This story is recorded in the book "Historical Records". During the Warring States Period, there was a person in the State of Chu who was very shrewd about archery, called Yang Youji.

Yoyuki was proficient in shooting since he was a child. The arrow can hit the willow leaves that are only three or four centimeters wide at a distance of 100 paces, and at the same time, as long as others indicate which willow leaf he wants to shoot, he can shoot the arrow very quickly, and there is no miss. Therefore, everyone praises his archery skills, some people say "a hundred steps through Yang", and some people say "a hundred shots and a hundred hits", which are used to describe his archery skills. It means praising others for having absolute certainty in doing things, sometimes analyzing things, and predicting future developments.

Although few people in modern times are interested in archery anymore, the idiom "100 shots and 100 hits" can be used in more than just archery, many things can be quoted.

For example, a person who likes to play with hands and guns, his shooting skills are very skillful, he pulls out his hand and gun, and does not need to spend time aiming, he can accurately hit the target within the distance of the firing range, so that we can say that this person's shooting skills are "100 shots and 100 hits".

For example, if a person observes the development of things very carefully, understands its laws, and makes correct inferences, we can also say that he is "a hundred shots" at this time.
