How does the "knife" of a hundred soldiers practice its fierce spirit?

Knife, also known as "the courage of a hundred battles", emphasizes its brave spirit; The main split, which can be attacked and defended, is flexible and sharp, and can play a great role in fighting, practicing martial arts or traveling for self-defense on the battlefield. So there are sayings such as "lay down your life", "the knife turns black (black means poison)" and "be like a tiger".

China Dao as we know it today is a cold weapon with slight bend, big tip, sharp edge and single edge. According to archaeological inference, stone knives appeared in China as early as the late Paleolithic period, and then bone knives, angle knives and pottery knives were unearthed one after another, which were mainly used as production tools, as well as for defending wild animals and even hunting.

During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there were copper knives that were carried with them, ranging from 20 cm to 40 cm, and were specially used as weapons. The blade is arc-shaped and has an arc-shaped blade and a ring head. In the Zhou dynasty, stones, bones, lead, tin, copper and so on? Combination cutters are widely used. Knife skills are more sophisticated, such as Wu Dao and Zheng Dao. By the Han dynasty, the sword had replaced the sword and became the main short soldier on the battlefield. The famous "Ring Handle Knife" has a straight blade, a thick ridge, a short handle, a length of one meter, a single front and great lethality. At this point, the sword gradually became a protective and decorative item worn by emperors and war generals, and even became a token of the emperor's tribute, such as the "Ming Hong Dao" given to Dong Fangshuo by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty; Zhang Han gave the satrap Liu Chen, Ma Yan and others a sabre. Long knives with straight blades have always been the mainstream of so-called short weapons in the Central Plains and past dynasties. Except for people in the northwest of Jiangnan who use knives as curved blades.

Influenced by the Japanese invasion in the Ming Dynasty, both the knife method and the knife method changed. The army uses a large number of long knives with two hands, and even single-handle knives use Miao Dao as the blade, which is quite different from previous dynasties. The shape of sabre in Qing dynasty was partly influenced by Ming dynasty, and some of them still used traditional broadheaded, pointed and curved knives, but the decoration was much more gorgeous than that of the previous generation.

There are many shapes of short-handled knives in the past dynasties. According to various historical records, there are: hand knives, ring knives, long knives, waist knives, shoulder knives, short knives, ghost knives, big board knives (special for Taiping Army, weighing 12 kg), ring knives, trunk knives, Miao knives, Qimen knives, Qianlong knives, Baylor knives, Wu Gou knives and so on.

At present, the single knife is used to practice routine movements in Wushu, and the length is based on the principle that the tip of the knife is not lower than the upper end of the ear when the practitioner hangs his elbow with a knife. Its weight (blood Zen) shall not be less than 0.7 kg for men and 0.6 kg for women, and children shall not make it.
