Types and characteristics of ancient weapons

Ge, the bronze Ge in the Spring and Autumn Period is slightly different from that in the Warring States Period. The bronze Ge in the Spring and Autumn Period was a Hu Chuan style. In addition, the spears worn by Chang Hu San are also common. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the front end of the bending blade is shovel-shaped, and the whole bending blade is arc-shaped, but it is not clear. Bronze bows with pointed leaves appeared in the Warring States period, among which the inner bow is the most representative. For example, several unearthed narrow bows with internal blades are long and narrow, with long whiskers, some with thorns and some without them. Bows of this shape were very common in the Warring States period.

Moreover, most temples in the Warring States period have inscriptions, which record the historical events of war weapons at that time and are precious historical documents.

Shu and bronze Shu were also important weapons in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Judging from the unearthed bronze casket, its shape is roughly the same as that of a spear, and its function is to stab both sides when they are against the enemy. In addition, it is a ceremonial instrument, which symbolizes majesty and can also be used to guide people.

Sword and bronze sword were quite popular in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This is a self-defense weapon and an accessory. Wearing a long sword was also a fashion at that time, and people used it to show their personality and temperament. Infantry and cavalry in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period often wore swords, and others often wore swords. From Wang Sun to Steve, there is a special interest in fencing, so bronze swords are made in large quantities. Bronze fencing in this period shows the difference between the body and the handle.

The sword has ridges, many handles, empty handles, solid handles and round handles. As people attach great importance to the sword, the shape and workmanship of the sword are becoming more and more perfect, its design structure is more reasonable and its appearance is more beautiful. When stabbing, it can not only prevent the hand from slipping forward, but also resist the opponent, which embodies the humanized design. In addition, the decoration of the sword is more colorful, with special patterns and beautiful lines, and the color is roughly gray-blue.

Material composition and aesthetic characteristics of representative bronze swords in bronze weapons

Bronze swords as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are mainly famous for sword storms produced by the two countries and the State of Yue. For example, from the site of the Spring and Autumn Copper Mine in Daye, Hubei Province, the mining and smelting technology at that time was quite mature. 1965 The sword ridge unearthed in Jiangling, Hubei Province is engraved with the words "Wang Yuejian", which is a bronze sword with eight automatic characters. It is famous for its exquisite swords in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is really amazing. When unearthed, the sword was cold-protected, fierce and tough, so it was called "Goujian Sword of the King of Yue".

The total length of the blade is 55.7 cm. The front of the sword lattice is decorated with blue glass, and the back has a turquoise pattern. The blade is covered with withered patterns, which are black and dark. The material composition of Goujian Sword of the King of Yue is very special. Blades are made of alloy, and different blades have different metal contents. Because the tin content of the blade is higher than that of the ridge, the whole blade is elastic and sharp, and it can almost kill people without bleeding. The head of the sword is round with 1 1 concentric circles, which can be described as a strange and precious ancient bronze weapon.

It can be seen from this cultural relic that the smelting technology in the Warring States period was quite mature.

The characteristics and works of the famous range weapons in Qin Dynasty: 2265438 BC+0-206 BC was the ruling period after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries. The most influential range weapons in Qin Dynasty were crossbows and arrows. The crossbow machine consists of a bow and a base. Bow was the best bow used at that time. The bow is very elastic and soft, and the base is ship pulp wood. There is a groove on the machine base, which is specially used for dry cutting. This weapon was prepared with an arrow drawn by Gong Xuan before firing at the other side.

This crossbow has strong lethality, long range and high speed, and is mainly used for long-distance combat. In Qin dynasty, crossbow machine was considered as the most advanced weapon at that time and the most popular large-scale combat weapon. Arrow was also a large-scale range weapon in Qin Dynasty. This kind of weapon is relatively common and is mainly operated by people. During the reign of Qin Shihuang, almost all soldiers had arrows, so Qin was the most powerful country at that time.

The aesthetic characteristics of the ping-pong machine in Qin dynasty are like a small plane. As can be seen from its structure, the figures are the same, and the base and the bow are in sharp contrast from coarse to fine. And the frame is engraved with text marks and some decorative patterns. These show that the crossbow machine also has its decoration.

Arrow, which was mainly popular in Qin dynasty in the early days, consists of an arrow body and an arrow body. The arrow is shaped like a plum blossom, tough and sharp, and the whole shape is a straight line. Later, the word "arrow" came from this, and the color was black and blue. From the archaeological excavation and collection of ancient weapons, we can see that there are fewer and fewer such cultural relics in China, because swords are no longer needed in the scientific and technological society, and people will never spend a lot of money and manpower to produce them.

It's just that in our life, people exercise and use it as a prop in movies and TV shows. We don't pay as much attention as the Qin dynasty, and we won't use good blue copper ore and steel to produce cold pong devices. Therefore, this has become our concern. Although the country no longer makes these things, we must protect traditional handicrafts and explore more cultural relics like this. It is also a work of art worthy of our study, inheritance and appreciation.
