What are the famous weapons in the history of China?

Without classification, the most famous weapon is language.

The lobbyist can attack the city and crack the soil with a three-inch golden tongue without bloodshed.

But speaking of cold weapons, let me give you a list:

No. 10 Metz

Mace and (iron) whip are long and bladeless, with four edges and four feet (four feet is one meter two in the Song Dynasty). They are short weapons, which are beneficial to step warfare.

Mace is heavy, people who are not strong can't use it freely, and its lethality is very considerable. Even wearing armor, people may be beaten to death.

Technically close to the knife and sword.

Between the Jin and Tang Dynasties, it was made of copper or iron, which looked like a hard whip, but the mace had no knots and no tips.

The cross section of the mace body is square with grooves, so it is called "concave mace".

The size of mace varies from person to person (generally between 65 and 80 cm).

Mace is usually used as an auxiliary weapon to kill the enemy by surprise, so it is called "killer weapon".

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he was a warrior (Bao Shu) and was good at using double hammers.

Niu Hao, the general of Yuejiajun in Southern Song Dynasty, was good at double mace.

In storytelling, Zhao, the Eight Sages King, used a concave gold mace, beating the faint monarch at the top and surrendering the minister at the bottom.

No.9 side

Make no mistake, this whip is not as flexible as a rope. The whip we are talking about is a weapon that makes a living by chopping, sweeping and stabbing like an iron bar.

Whips are like bamboo joints made of steel, so they are also called bamboo joint Strafe.

Wu Zixu in history, marshal Weichi Gong in Tang Dynasty and Huyan family in Song Dynasty all used whips.

Whip is a more powerful weapon against armor than chain mail, which can break goggles in one fell swoop and is extremely powerful.

It belongs to heavy weapons.

Compared with mace, mace is more lethal than whip, but its armor-piercing ability is not as good as whip.

Because the two kinds of weapons are similar, and the whip is soft and hard, so now people usually say the whip is soft.

No.8 crossbow

The crossbow was invented by Kong Ming in the Three Kingdoms period.

Crossbow, a bow that uses mechanical force to shoot arrows, generally refers to a bow: crossbow, crossbow machine, crossbow hand (archer), crossbow, crossbow gun (crossbow machine that shoots stones).

Crossbows are generally made of multi-layer composite bows made of bamboo and sawdust, which are shaped like shoulder poles, so they are commonly called "crossbow shoulders".

It belongs to a long-range weapon.

Compared with foreign long-range killing weapons, I just want to say that the wisdom of working people in ancient China far exceeds that of foreigners.

Seventh place Fu Shuo.

The big one is a graupel, and the small one is an axe.

It didn't take long in actual combat. It is estimated that many friends don't know that it was a very deterrent heavy weapon on the chariots in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and it was also the weapon of the emperor. Later, it was eliminated because of its large size, and it can only be used as a ceremonial weapon from now on.

The development of axe is much luckier than that of big-headed graupel. People in China used axes in all previous dynasties, whether it was the axe used by Cheng, the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, or the axe used by jy, a hero of Liangshan in the forest, which can be used immediately or with both hands.

Axe is a heavy weapon with strong lethality, mainly chopping.

Season 6

Ji is a combination of spear and spear or gun and knife, which is very lethal. You can stab like a spear, hook, wave and cut like a ge or a knife.

In Europe, the equipment of halberd is different from that of China. Europe was equipped with infantry in the Middle Ages, and China was equipped with a large number of troops in ancient times. By the middle ages, it had already changed from infantry to cavalry, and infantry was replaced by light pike.

There are three kinds of halberds in China. One is the oldest Geji, which has the largest variety and the widest equipment, and is also the first to be eliminated. The second is the door halberd that appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties; And the fields that military commanders love to paint.

Because the halberd is a combination of other weapons, it can only rank sixth.

The fifth case

China's characteristic weapon, like the sickle and sword of ancient Egypt, is a unique national weapon in the world.

But to be honest, Ge is not a very powerful weapon. There are many kinds of pueraria lobata, which has been popular from Xia Dynasty to Han Dynasty and basically disappeared in Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Ge is an old weapon of China. Because it is a horizontal blade, it mainly hooks, pecks, swings and pushes.

Because of some TV dramas and movies, many people think that Ge is a special weapon for small soldiers, such as cannon fodder.

Gun number four

You can compare spears and guns like this. You only look at the blade except the handle. The long blade is a spear and the short blade is a gun.

The spear head is undoubtedly lighter than the spear head, but its lethality is the same. Are built on the basis of thorns and punches. Moreover, due to the retirement of chariots, spears are less used, and they are not as convenient to kill as horses and spears, and their mobility is much higher.

There are many kinds of guns, such as Qing Shen gun, crow's horn gun, tiger's head gun and Tilu gun, as well as carbine gun and crochet gun that resisted the invasion of northern nomadic people in Song Dynasty.

The Yang family was a famous military family in the Northern Song Dynasty, and they used guns handed down from their ancestors. Later, there was the story of the Yang family's gun and peace.

No.3 spear

Some ancient books also say that spear equals gun, but from some novels and documents, I'm afraid it's wrong to completely integrate spear with gun.

The longest spear is 4 meters, which is mainly used for car buckets. Spears on horseback are usually called pipes, and short spears and javelins are called Chinese fir.

There are also some special ones, such as snake spears and barbed spears.

Second sword

A double-edged sword is a sword. In Europe, there is no difference between a sword and a knife. They are all the same word.

China's sword has a long history, dating back to Shang Dynasty. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, a large number of armed forces were equipped, especially the swords of the Qin Dynasty, which were more than 1.5 meters long, in order to develop greater lethality on chariots (at that time, only Chair Zhao cavalry was the main force, and most countries still used chariots as the main fighting arms). Later, due to the prevalence of knives, swords were gradually replaced in the army, making them only weapons or decorations for generals.

There was an exception in the Ming Dynasty. In order to settle the Japanese pirates, Qi made an epee to fight the Japanese pigs, but this epee was still not as fierce as the epee of the German Teutonic Tenth Army Knight 1.8 meters.

1 knife

Weapons with single-edged chopping as the main weapon have been used by armies and outlaws in past dynasties. A large number of ring-headed knives (which drove away the Huns and constituted the "magic whip" that swept across Europe) were popular in the Han Dynasty, including broadswords, The Lancet, ring-headed knives, bows, and broadswords that some military commanders liked to ride on horses.

Japanese mountain cities also evolved from China's knives.

Knife, sword, spear, gun, spear, halberd, axe, crossbow, whip and mace are the top ten weapons in the weapon spectrum.

There is a saying that "an inch is longer than an inch" and another saying that "the martial arts in the world are fast and unbreakable", which respectively illustrate the advantages of different weapons.

In any case, these weapons show the wisdom of the ancient working people in China and the changing process of human tools from farming and hunting to war.

From low to high, from single to diverse, from complex to unified development and improvement process.
