During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a famous general named Li Guang. He is good at horseback riding and archery, and he is also very brave in battle. He is called "the flying general". Once, he went hunting at the southern foot of Mingshan Mountain and suddenly found a tiger crouching in the grass. Li Guang hurriedly bow and arrow, concentrate, exhausted strength, an arrow shot. Li Guang is good at archery. He thinks that the tiger must have been shot by an arrow. He sent someone to check at dawn the next day. Unexpectedly, it is a big stone shaped like a tiger. Not only did the arrow penetrate the stone deeply, but also the tail of the arrow almost completely penetrated the stone. Li Guang was surprised. He didn't believe that he could have such great strength, so he wanted to try again. He stepped back, pulled his bow and shot at the stone. But a few arrows didn't go in, some were broken, some were broken, and the big stone was not damaged at all.
