In ancient times, people banned armour. Is it very deadly? Why can't you resist banning armour?

First of all, we must know that ancient weapons are cold weapons, and wars rely on cold weapons. Although armor is not lethal, it is very effective.

The greatest use of armor is indeed to prevent arrows, because in the era of cold weapons, just like today, long-range weapons are the most lethal weapons, because melee requires more preconditions such as body and strength, and long-range weapons are powerful weapons that transcend physical conditions. Armor is not suitable for hand-to-hand combat mainly because of its poor flexibility, but now it can be used as the front armored tank in the fleet.

It is still very effective for attacking enemy lines. This way that soldiers and horses are heavily armored is shown in the murals of Dunhuang in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. This kind of cavalry heavy armor is more like a sandwich composed of two shields in front and back of the body, which is extremely flexible, just to break through the enemy lines with very long spears in rows. This kind of armor was later called two for one. Later, because the victorious soldiers also liked to wear them at banquets, they gradually evolved into crotch shirts made of cloth. Later, because military commanders were worshipped by people, armor gradually became popular among the people.

Armor has been the equipment of commanders and generals for a long time in the history of China, one is to prevent arrows, and the other is to show status and identity. When the economic environment is good, the troops directly under the commander-in-chief will also be equipped with armor. If the economy is good, the whole army will be equipped with armor. In most cases, soldiers only wear uniforms or all kinds of armor, so it is forbidden to wear armor among the people.
