Hi, sorry for asking but what are the six arts?
known as "liu yi" the six arts are essentially the basics of education within confucianism, and a young gentleman (junzi) with a proper upbringing was expected to have mastered or at least have some proficiency within them. the six arts were: rites, music, archery, equestrianism/chariotry, calligraphy, and mathematics.
jinwol isn't particularly good at music and equestrianism (he's tone-deaf and animals hate him) and while he is good at archery he has hang-ups about actually shooting living creatures. and that's it's mentioned that his brothers are considered to be overall better than him in the six arts!
#anon#ro: jinwol#he's surprisingly good at math!#he doesn't enjoy it very much#but he considers it part of his training#so he's pretty proficient in calculating things quickly#in modern terms#he has the party trick of asking for random numbers and being able to multiply them immediately
