Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, official courses have been divided into "national studies" and "rural studies", and there are two levels: "primary schools" and "universities". According to the Book of Rites, Zhou Li and other records, the universities in the Western Zhou Dynasty mainly practiced martial arts, and the teachers were generally officers. The main content of military training is to learn archery, that is, to learn archery and control five kinds of chariots. This is the earliest military training record of students in ancient China. Among them, "University", that is, "Six Arts" is the standard course, and "Ritual, Music, Shooting, Imperial, Calligraphy and Mathematics" are the six basic talents that students need to master. Shooting and forbidding are ancient military training, and teachers are generally directly served by officers.
