仁義以善射冠軍中，當時稱朱瑾槊，米誌誠弩，皆為第一。 Renyi was the finest archer in the army. Men said Zhu Jin’s spear and Mi Zhicheng’s crossbow were each unmatched in their day.

仁義常曰：「誌誠弩十，不當瑾槊之一； Renyi used to say, “Ten of Mi Zhicheng’s bolts are not worth one thrust of Zhu Jin’s spear;

瑾槊十，不當吾弓之一。」 and ten of Zhu Jin’s spear thrusts are not worth one shot from my bow.”
