After Tong's death, he would offer sacrifices at his tomb". He learned everything and could fire with his left and right hands.
It reads, "He learned archery from Zhou Tong. Zhou's mention in Yue Ke's memoir was only briefly summarized in the Yuan rewrite. It was later abridged in 1345 and published in the Yuan Dynasty's dynastic chronology History of the Song Dynasty under the title Yue Fei Biography (chapter 365, biography 124). This two-part memoir was completed in 1203, some sixty years after the general's political execution, but was not published until 1234. On his deathbed, Yue Fei's third son Yue Lin (岳霖, born 1130) asked his own son, the poet and historian Yue Ke (岳珂, 1183–post-1240), to complete Yue Fei's memoirs. Veteran martial arts actor Yu Chenghui, who played the sword-wielding antagonist in Jet Li's Shaolin Temple, stated in a 2005 interview that he has always wanted to portray Zhou in a film. He was portrayed by three different actors in a string of black and white Yue Fei films produced in the 1940s and 1960s, one of which featured a ten-year-old Sammo Hung as the lead. He also appears in a novel concerning one of his fictional martial arts brothers. This was later adapted into a ten volume Lianhuanhua comic book. His rare 20th century biography, Iron Arm, Golden Sabre, serves as a sequel to The Story of Yue Fei because it details his adventures decades prior to taking Yue as his pupil. Zhou has appeared in various forms of media such as novels, comic books, and movies. Nothing is ever said about him knowing or teaching a specific style of Chinese martial arts. However, the oldest historical record that mentions his name only says he taught archery to Yue Fei. Wang Shaotang's folktale even represents him as a master of Drunken Eight Immortals boxing. He is also linked to Northern Praying Mantis boxing via Lin Chong and Yan Qing. Practitioners of Eagle Claw, Chuojiao and Xingyi commonly include him within their lineage history because of his association with Yue Fei, the supposed progenitor of these styles. These range from mastery of the bow, double broadswords, and Chinese spear to that of Wudang hard qigong and even x-ray vision. Various wuxia novels and folk legends have endowed Zhou with different kinds of martial and supernatural skills. Because of his association with the outlaws, he is often confused with the similarly named outlaw Zhou Tong. The tale also gives him the nickname "Iron Arm", which he shares with the executioner-turned-outlaw Cai Fu, and makes the outlaw Lu Zhishen his sworn brother. A later republican era folktale by noted Yangzhou storyteller Wang Shaotang not only adds Wu Song to this list, but represents Zhou as a knight-errant with supreme swordsmanship. The novel's author portrayed him as an elderly widower and military arts tutor who counted Lin Chong and Lu Junyi, two of the fictional 108 outlaws on which the Water Margin is based, among his former pupils. Not only was he now from Shaanxi but he was Yue's adopted father, a learned scholar with knowledge of the eighteen weapons of war, and his personal name was spelled with a different, yet related, Chinese character. With the publishing of Yue Fei's 17th folklore biography, The Story of Yue Fei (1684), a new distinct fictional Zhou Tong emerged, which differed greatly from his historical persona. Yue later taught what he had learned from Zhou to his soldiers and they were successful in battle. After Zhou's death, Yue would regularly visit his tomb twice a month and perform unorthodox sacrifices that far surpassed that done for even beloved tutors. During his tutelage, Zhou taught the children all of his skills and even rewarded Yue with his two favorite bows because he was his best pupil. In addition to the future general, Zhou accepted other children as archery pupils. Originally a local hero from Henan, he was hired to continue Yue Fei's military training in archery after the boy had rapidly mastered spearplay under his first teacher. Zhou (or Jow) Tong ( Chinese: 周同 and 周侗 pinyin: Zhōu Tóng) (died late 1121 CE) was the archery teacher and second military arts tutor of famous Song Dynasty general Yue Fei.
