| Preface
The Chinaman Ein-lei-tung (about 2,000
BC) in his boundless wisdom, concentrated on one thing
only during his entire life, namely his bamboo stick. After 50 years
of deepest meditation, Tung, a man of genius, invented the bow,
while stretching his bamboo stick with a bundle of horsehair. Even
today we still think of him with the greatest respect. Unfortunately
the original model, alleged to have had great mythical power, is
irretrievably lost, but in spite of this, there are always adventurers
who still go in search of the wonderful original.
