Qi Jiguang, Zheng Chenggong, and Kangxi all used rattan armor, and in the late Qing Dynasty, because of the prevalence of firearms, the rattan armor rattan defense was reduced, and it was gradually canceled.

There is also the defensive power of rattan armor, which is higher than that of Western plate armor, which was used in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even in Hong Kong, Macao and other places in the last century, rattan armor rattan cards are still used.

As for the fear of fire in the vine armor, it is probably false.

"Wubei Zhi" records: red rattan armor, with 50 catties of red vine, soaked in water in the stone trough for half a month, taken out to dry for three days, re-enter the trough to add water. Soak it up for one year, dry it, and weave it in the same way, a total of twenty pairs. Its outer tung oil is oily, its armor is light and strong, and it can separate the arrow blade. Good for fire and water. And with this vine as a hat, when facing the enemy as a helmet, and when it is cloudy, it is ready for rain.

It can be seen that the rattan armor has many procedures and is extremely strong, which can block the attack of arrows and stones, which is conducive to water and fire, that is, water and fire cannot invade.

The reason is that the red wisteria armor is soaked in tung oil to prevent fire, and tung oil sounds like oil, but it is actually a fireproof, mothproof, and waterproof material used to be smeared on the wooden parts of weapons in ancient times, and the ignition point is extremely high.

Tung oil has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, so the general fire is useless, only to exceed its ignition point, but according to the ignition point of tung oil, once it exceeds its ignition point, it will be scorched whether it is wearing iron armor or rattan armor.

From this point of view, it cannot be said that rattan armor is afraid of fire, and Yunnan is one of the main production areas of tung oil.

Moreover, the rattan armor is really recorded in detail, which is in the Tang Dynasty, not the Three Kingdoms period in the famous book.
