Brief introduction of traditional weapons content
Bronze was an important material in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. In the south, personnel carriers are the main battle vehicles, and hook and peck weapons are popular. With the development of bronze weapons, chariots, warships, bows and arrows, leather armor, sculls and ladders are also integrated with advanced technology. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Song Dynasty, weapons developed into the Iron Age. Cavalry became an important means of combat, spears and halberds became popular, and chopping weapons such as knives and axes began to increase. At this time, the range of crossbows increased, shipbuilding technology became mature, and weapons such as long-range trebuchets appeared. Since the Song Dynasty, gunpowder has been used more and more in wars, and there have been three kinds of firearms: burning, blasting and tubular. At this point, the development of weapons in China entered the era of using firearms and iron, which lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
This book reviews the types and development of traditional weapons in China, introduces the common basic forms of traditional weapons and the ancient science and technology embodied in them, and explains them with the biggest pictures to help readers understand all aspects of traditional weapons in China more intuitively and concretely.
