1. Evolution and development of bronze germanium

Bronze weapons are a major category of ancient bronzes. In the Bronze Age, wars were frequent. At that time, the rulers cast a large number of bronze (alloy of copper, tin and lead) weapons for the needs of rule and war, and bronze ge was one of the main weapons at that time.

Bronze Ge first appeared in Erlitou site of Xia Dynasty more than 3,500 years ago. The origin of pueraria lobata is generally thought to have evolved from sickle tools.

Bronze Ge was widely used in Shang Dynasty, with various forms in the Spring and Autumn Period and reached its peak in the middle and late Warring States Period. With the development of cavalry and the improvement of ironmaking technology in Han Dynasty, Bronze Ge finally withdrew from the battlefield. Even though bronze statues occasionally appear in Han tombs, most of them are luxuriantly decorated and are not used in actual combat.

Bronze Ge was the most commonly used fighting weapon in the Bronze Age in China. It is a unique cold weapon with long handle in ancient China, with a horizontal blade and a bronze handle. In ancient wars, he could swing, hook, peck, push and plunder in a wide range, and kill with Ge's underarm hook; Peck stabbed the striker with a dagger; It is easy to be killed with the help of Ge, and it is extremely lethal, especially suitable for attacking on chariots.

Ge, usually composed of ge tou, secret, secret hat and? ? Composition, the grid head is bronze, and the handle is mostly bamboo. The grid head has many shapes, which can be roughly divided into inner grid, curved grid and inner grid.

The modeling of Ge Tou has been developing continuously in actual combat. In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the inner grid and qu were gradually eliminated because they were easy to fall off in the mutual connection, and there was a gap between the grid head and the inner grid, which increased the firmness of the combination of Hu and secret, so they developed.

Ge is the most important weapon on the battlefield, which is not accidental, but determined by the combat mode at that time. Che Zhan was the most important combat mode in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and Ge's unique structure determined that it was the most suitable weapon for Che Zhan.

Ge's head, which extends from the front of Ge, has blades up and down and gathers into a tip; The lower part of pueraria lobata extends into a beard, and there are also leaves on the beard, which are connected into an arc with the lower leaves of pueraria lobata; The back part is inside, and there is a hole for fastening the handle.

When fighting, the power of its beak is far greater than that of the spear, and the semi-circular area where the aid-Hu connection line passes is the killing range.

Gog was able to hook back, which was not available in other weapons at that time, especially in car warfare. The chariots of the enemy and the enemy were only in the wrong hub, and the fighters were fleeting. Gog hook back was the most effective way of fighting.

Second, the value of bronze pueraria lobata

In ancient China, Ge was one of the most commonly used and important combat weapons in chariots. Bronze Ge is the most typical representative of ancient combat weapons. It reflects an advanced bronze casting process in ancient China, and occupies an important position in the history of ancient military technology and modern military thought in China.

With the development of bronze smelting technology, China's ancient weapons changed from stone weapons in the Stone Age to bronze weapons in the Bronze Age, which was more lethal and obvious. This bronze weapon is mainly used for the hook and peck of chariots, and its shape is similar to that of the current sickle.

In the ancient army, Ge was a necessary weapon for every soldier, from Xia Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty, throughout the Bronze Age. Until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the arrival of the Iron Age, the bronze Ge was finally replaced by the iron halberd evolved from Ge.

Three. Bronze Pueraria and China Traditional Culture-

Ge is a unique bronze weapon in China, and also the main weapon on the battlefield in the pre-Qin period. It influenced and even surpassed the weapon itself and penetrated into ancient cultural etiquette. In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Ge was used not only for fighting, but also for various ceremonial activities and even as a funerary object.

Bronze Ge was the most popular period in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Ge has become a cultural element, permeating all aspects of life, even words and customs. In the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty, you can often see the image of a warrior holding a bronze ge. In addition, in the male tombs in Guanzhong area during the Western Zhou Dynasty, the images of Ge and Dun were more common, and Ge was often bent and broken artificially. This custom of destroying weapons and then being buried with them is "the custom of destroying soldiers and burying them", and Ge has become an important part of customs and habits here.

Yili is one of the thirteen Confucian classics, and it is a compilation of Han etiquette in China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It covers various etiquette such as crown, marriage, funeral, sacrifice, hometown, shooting, DPRK, engagement, etc. In the records of Yili, Ge is often used as a sacrificial ceremony.

Later, in view of Ge's important position in the war, the ancients often used Ge to refer to the war. Many idioms related to Ge are still in use today, such as "colluding with evil", "colluding with evil", "turning enemies into friends" and "colluding with evil to protect our country and defend our country". Bronze Ge was used as the main combat weapon for thousands of years in the Bronze Age, which had a far-reaching impact on the later development of weapons.
