Section 316 Commencement of the firing shot
At the foot of the eastern steps, the messenger asked the monarch to determine the celebrant of the ceremony, and the monarch allowed it, and the messenger served as the celebrity.
Si Zheng walked to the washing vessel, cleaned the wine vessel, sat down in the atrium facing south, and put it down. Si Zheng ascended to the main hall and received orders from the monarch on the east side of the east pillar, and ordered the guests of honor and the ministers and doctors on the west steps facing north. The king said, "Let the guests sit down as I wish." The ministers and doctors replied, "Yes, how dare you sit still?" Si Zheng walked down the main hall from the west steps, sat down facing south, took out the wine, climbed to the main hall, and poured wine from the square pot.
Si Zheng walked down the main hall, sat down facing south, and put down his wine. Stand up and turn to the right, standing respectfully facing north. When the wine is sitting down, take out the wine, stand up, and sit down again, and do not offer wine to the ancestors. As he had finished drinking the wine in his mouth, he put down his wine, stood up, and bowed twice. Turn to the left, sit down facing south, take out the wine, and clean it. The front of the wine is facing south, put the koji back in its original position, and stand facing north.
The priest shoots to the place where he changes, exposes his left arm, puts on a wrench, puts on a leather arm coat, holds a bow, and holds 4 arrows outside the bow handle, the arrow is in the middle of the bow handle, and the right thumb is hooked to the string. Si Jie said to the monarch in front of the east steps: Please shoot Sima salute. The priest then reported that the doctor and the doctor were in one group, and if it was insufficient, the priest would serve the doctor and be in a group with the doctor.
Si Archery walked to the front of the west steps, facing east, turned back to the right and ordered his subordinates to take the archery equipment and bring in all the archery equipment. The bow and arrow of the king are placed on the east side of the east wall, and the bow and arrow of the guest of honor, as well as the middle and chip chips of the grand calculation, and the ceremonial utensils are placed on the west side of the west hall. Instead of taking the bows and arrows of the people, gather together the bows and arrows of the people and the instruments that bear the arrows, and put them in the place where they are dressed, and wait.
Sikong's subordinate workers and Azusa people ascended the main hall from the north steps, measured the dimensions in the middle of the two pillars, either red or black, and drew a horizontal and vertical cross as a place for archery to stand. Shoot on target and supervise the scene. After finishing the painting, walk up the north staircase to the main hall. The priest cleans the place where the sign is drawn, and walks down the main hall from the north steps. Taishi waited in the west of the middle where the grand plan was to be set up, facing east, to manage his own political affairs.
Si Gun faced west and told Taishi that the monarch shot an arrow target decorated with a bear, and the doctor shot an arrow target decorated with a leopard and an elk; Shi shoots an arrow target decorated with 犴 (hān). The archers shoot not the targets they should shoot, and the shots do not count. The lowly and the noble are grouped together, and the two of them shoot at the same target. Taishi agreed, and then matched it into 3 shooting groups.
Three shooting groups stand on the north side of the changing place, facing west, and take the north side first. The master tells the upper gun: Someone is waiting for you to shoot an arrow; Tell the next shot to say: you shoot an arrow with someone. After speaking, he then told the three shooting teams to go to the changing place to get bows and arrows.
Si shot into the changing place, stuck 3 arrows in his waist, and came out of the changing place with 1 arrow between his two fingers, facing west. Bow to the stairs facing north, bow to the steps, bow to the main hall, bow to the archery sign facing north, bow to the archery sign, step back from the archery sign and guide the archers to shoot. The division shoots arrows at 3 arrow targets, 4 arrows per person, and starts shooting at the target decorated with a pistol, then at the target decorated with a leopard and moose, and then at the target decorated with a bear.
After shooting, the priest bowed with his face facing north. Si Archery walked to the front of the steps, bowed and walked down the main hall, the same etiquette as when he climbed the main hall to shoot arrows. Then go to the west side of the main hall, take 1 arrow, and hold it between two fingers. Then he took the ruler, stuck it between his belt, and stood on the southwest side of the place where the great plan was to be set, facing east.
Sima Shi ordered the man leaning on the target to carry the flag and turn his back to the target. Those who leaned on the target went to the target, and waited with their flags and their backs to the target. The shooter walks to the place where the clothes are changed, and the group with the higher archery skills shoots the arrow. Si Jie returned to his original position, walked out of the changing place, and bowed facing west. The higher position shooter is on the left, and the two shooters are in the same row.
The two archers bow facing north facing the steps and bow to the front of the steps. The higher top shot ascended three steps first, followed by the lower lower shot one step apart. The upper shot is in the main hall, and the position is on the left. The lower shot ascended to the main hall, the upper shot bowed, and the two walked together. Both archers bow to the sign where the shooter stands, face north, and walk up to the sign and bow their hands. They step on the sign with their left foot, turn to look at the center of the target, and merge their feet.
Sima Zheng walked to the place where he was changing, exposed his left arm, put on a wrench, put on a leather arm coat, held a bow, and walked out with an arrow in his right hand. Ascend the main hall from the west staircase, reach the archery sign on the left, stand between the two signs, hold the bow in your left hand and the tip of the bow in your right hand, raise the bow to the south, and order the person leaning on the target to leave the target.
The man leaning on the arrow target answered in the palace tone of the pentatonic tone, and quickly reached the south of the arrow avoidance apparatus to the west, and answered again in the Shang tone until the place where the arrow avoidance apparatus was, and the sound did not stop. The man leaning on the target handed the flag to the singer and then stepped back to stand in the west. The singer stood up and waited with him. Sima Zheng walked out from the south side of the downward shot, turned around, and walked down the west steps to the main hall. Then, walk to the changing place, put down the bow, take off the wrench, take off the leather arm, put on the shirt, and return to the original position.
