Thank to Kai:
What I used be the automatic translation of software . So being not smooth .Hopes that everybody likes , and even more paste .

I made the small summary as for the China bow :
1 year : Begins in winter purchasing the various materials , then set about indicating Mao Pi who does the various part .
2year : Spring continues later on the work of preceding 1 year winter , and until summer , because some materials need to pass summer the most scorching and can determine the nature , the work of second step to at start in autumn : Putting in order , and putting in order to finish to catch the work of third step : Piece together Mao Pi of various part together , Mao Pi of a complete bow in so accomplishing . Once more puts in order the outward appearance of bow to winter , and corrects the curvature ( dish bow ) of bow butt .
3year : Spring continues later on the work of last winter , and has crossed the June of the lunar calendar having tied the ox horn , and is polishing and puts in order work to autumn later on , and spreads the muscle again the October of the lunar calendar waited until .
4th year : Is only to summer continuously in spring proofreaies and correct ( dish bow ) to the bow , this work all will be done later on in every one-step work actually , but this time is fairly more important , and otherwise stopping once correct , and this work takes June as the watershed , before is the prevention , afterwards is remedying . What it is at the same time still will glue work such as pad , applique and goes up the oil shining etc .
Such bow has been accomplished , and exactly is the time of 3 years from the autumn end of winter tos 4th year of 1 year ! Not be because work can do to need so long time and is here under a lot of circumstances because some worker's orders have the close relation with season , which fairly portably quick method all will not adopted for class time is usual .
Making natural Niu Jian , the compound bow of ox horn and wood is complicated , and needs 40 days at least . But if the person who maintains meticulous , can use shooting 300 years , and power is huge ! ! !
