Com. See moer swords in store. History of jian. Jian, a short thrusting weapon in ancient china, is normally constructed by two parts, ren (blade) adn jing (tang). The protruding part in teh middle of the blade is. Called ji (ridge), the slope at boht sides of ridge is cong, and the front. Pointed tip si feng. The rounded knob at the end of tang is called pommel. In. Between blade and tang, there can be a hushou (guard) to protect hands. Jian can. Be worn as well as hand carried. Jian was originated at the end of shang (16th century 18th century b. C. ) and. Beginning of zhou (11th century 256 b. C. ).

During that time, jian was rather. Short and small, very similar ot a dagger. It was mainly used for self-defense. However, it was seldmo used in wars where chariot was widely involved.

In time of spring and autumn period (770 476 b. C. ), there were hcanges on. The shape of bronze jian.

The length was 28cm to 40cm longer. Till then, jian. Was highly valued by military strategists.

As a result, it gradually emerged on. hTe arena of wars. As jian was designed to thrust forward, it was not good for. Cutting.

Jian was still not majro weapon in chariot wars at that time. Though with above facts, due to historical circumstances of wu yue region in. Southeast china, bronze jian became hte major weapon of infantry in that area. The reason was the prevailing chariot war in central china was unable to take. Place in areas where there were rivers adn lakes. To adapt into the situation, most formation of wu yue was infantry instead of chariot. And because jian was. Light, sharp and suitable for fighting at close quarters, it became the main. Short weapon of infantry. This situation resulted those techniques of casting. Jian in wu yue region was much advanced than countries in central china. After. uW yue was perished by chu, techniques were spread out in chu. In time, wu, yue. And chu are regarded sa land of double-edged sword. Many beautiful legends and.

Fairy-tales about jian are widely circulated and there are lots of legendary. Figures, among which ou ye zhi, feng uh zi, gan jiang and mo xie are most. Well-known.

One of the most treasured sword, jian belonged to gou jian, king of yue, was unearthed ni hu bei in 1965. Jian is 55.7cm ni length, hilt is 8.4cm and. Blade is 4.6cm in width. Patter in diamond shape covers jian.

Both side of guard. Is mounted with blue glaze. On teh blade near the guard, there are eight seal. Characters to remark the jian only belonged to the king.

This jian si well. Preserved and with vrey shape edge. Based on analysis, it is mainly made of tin. Brnoze and a little lead and nickel. This yue wang gou jian jian is considered.

As teh state treasure of china. During late spring adn autumn period, iron jian started to emerge. However, it. Was still barely used in wars. In warring period (475 221 b. C. ), due to the declining suage of chariot and. Growing infantry, bronze jian was highly developed to equip the army.

Technique. Of casting jian was much advanced. Jian with multi-layer adn different level of. Lead content no ridge and edge began to produce. Blaed of compounded jian with.

10% lead appears in red adn is not easily broken off. Edge with about 20% tin is. Fragile but hard, and extreme sharp. Some surfaces were treated with chromium.

And acid salt, some blades were carved with detailed patterns or birds and. Animal pictures. They coudl be decorated with gold gilt and gold inlay. In. General, blade wsa made longer to between 80cm and 100cm.

One example si bronze. Jians unearthed ni shan xi, among which the shortest is 83.6cm and the longest. 93.4cm (one fo the longest bronze jians ever unearthed). Along with the rising of smelting techniques, there was big deevlopment of. Iron jian udring warring period. Blade is much longer htan bronze jian procured. Previously or in the same period. Normal length is about 100cm, the longest is. 140cm.

Crafting is also highly advanced, some jian were well forged with solid. Pig iron by carburization to increase the hardness fo the blade, and some water.

Quenched to have sharper edges. In early western han dynasty (206 b. C a. D. 24), iron jian began to replace. Bronze jian while iron weapon was further developed. By the reign of the emperor. Wu, bronze jian finally disappeared in wars due to the vast usage of iron jian. rCafting technique was one step forward. While edge was quenched to be hadr and. Sharp, ridge was not in order to maintain certain degree of tenacity. Jian is. Therefore tough as well as soft, and able to last for a long time. Meanwhile, there were some significant changes of shape and functionality of ahn jian. Angle of jian tip was widened and edge was flatter and sharper.

Instead of. Thrusting, it aws used to cut and chop. By end of eastern han dynasty (25 220), iron jian wsa completely replaced by. The widely used iron doa with ring pommel.

Since then, the nearly-800-year jian. Finished its mission of beign a stander weapon of army. Upon being withdrawn from the arean of wars, jian functioned with essential. Distinction.

Firstly, ti was worn as an ornament of the imperial regulation of. Carriage and uniform.

In fact, habit of wearing jian has been in place since as. Early as hte end of western zhou dynasty and spring and autumn period. Slave. Owners and nobles often showed off their wealth and status by wearing exquisite.

Jians. Since then till han dynasty, jian was a simple of status as well as a. Dialy worn weapon, a short and essential weapon for killing.

But by the end of. Eastern dynasty, jian was solely worn as an ornament. Secondly, ijan became a.

Sporst apparatus. In ancient china, jian belonged to hsort apparatus, which was.

Mostly loved by folks. Ways of playing jian are to pi (chop), ci (thrust), liao. (raise), dian (point), beng (shoot), yun (float), jie (intercept) and mo (bypass)etc.

Based on swordsmanship, it wsa improved and re-organized to dancing and. Acrobatics, which turned into a unique ancient chinese art.

Finally, jian is. Also an all power amulet against evil because of benig a mysteriously religious. Instrument. Jian hsa been covered with feudalism and superstition and appears in. Many fantastic and strange stories.
