The sword was more famous in the cold weapon era.

One of the ancient cold weapons in China: halberd. In ancient times when there were no deadly weapons such as gunpowder and artillery, they would use weapons such as halberds to fight. It is mainly composed of long handle, straight blade and horizontal blade. Most of them are in the shape of "Bu", and halberds are divided into single-winged halberds and double-winged halberds. There is only one blade next to the winged halberd, and there are blades on both sides of the winged halberd. Ji is a combination of ge and spear.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, people combined Ge and spear, and then put a wooden stick on it, which is the handle of halberd. After combination, halberd will become firm and reliable, and will not be easily destroyed. The halberds of this period were made of bronze. In the late Warring States period, people began to learn to smelt iron, and the appearance of smelting iron will inevitably promote steel manufacturing.

Therefore, people began to make halberds out of iron. The halberd made of iron is very hard and not easy to be damaged. The blade on the top of the halberd is designed to be sharper and more lethal. By the Western Han Dynasty, halberd gradually became perfect, but there was no big change in shape. People also excavated new types of halberds, which greatly improved the combat value of halberds and were widely used!

In ancient times, halberd was an indispensable part. Dian Wei, a subordinate of Cao Cao, is extremely powerful. Dian Wei is very brave. His best weapon is halberd, whether it is halberd or short halberd, it is superb and handy. It can be called the combination of human halberd and human halberd. At one time, Liu Bei and Ji Ling fought. At that time, Liu Bei was in a weak position and sent a distress signal to Lu Bu. On the other side, Ji Ling asked Lu Bu, hoping he wouldn't ask for help.

Lyu3 bu4 is in a dilemma. He told Liu Bei and Ji Ling that he had put the halberd outside Yuanmen, and the halberd shot outside Yuanmen could not be beaten any more. If you miss, it's up to you. Sure enough, he shot the halberd outside the door. Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the famous poem Red Cliff: "I want to wash my hands of the past." The halberd in the poem "halberd sinks sand, iron doesn't sell" represents defeat on the battlefield, so we know that halberd may be dominant in ancient weapons!

Of course, this does not mean that people in ancient China only used halberds, knives and axes, which are comparable to halberds. In ancient times, people were proficient in all kinds of martial arts, so it is not surprising that they used any weapons freely!
