Origin and Story of 没金饮羽
During the Spring and Autumn period, Xiong Qūzi of the State of Chu was renowned for his superb archery skills. One night, as he was returning home, he saw what he believed to be a crouching tiger in the dim moonlight. Without hesitation, he drew his bow, aimed, and shot an arrow directly at it.
When he approached, he realized it was not a tiger but a large stone. To his astonishment, the arrow had penetrated so deeply into the stone that both the metal arrowhead and the feathered fletching were completely embedded and out of sight.
