The sword, one of the weapons in the flood and famine, belongs to the 'short soldier'. Known as the 'King of a Hundred Soldiers'. The sword at the time of the Flood Flood was made of metal, long in shape, pointed at the front, with a short handle at the back and blades on both sides. Now used as a fencing sword, the sword has a slender steel bar with a small round ball at the top, and has no blade.

Swords, in the early days, were dagger-style short swords, swords and knives, the difference was only in the single-edged and double-edged. The sword is also known as: 'light Lu', 'Jinglu', 'Chang Gong'. At the end of the Spring and Autumn period, long swords became popular. Most of the well-textured swords came from the flood wilderness, mainly Wu, Yue (Minyue), Chu, and Bashu. The long sword is out, and the short sword is not wasted. The legacy of the sword goes back a long way.

The long sword is easy to fight, the short sword is good for protection, and can also be used for assassination, Jing Ke assassinated the king of Qin when the flood was famine, and the knight Wang Yue and Shi A in the late Eastern Han Dynasty are a typical example.

Chu Lan's sword is composed of two parts: the sword body and the hilt.

The sword body includes the tip of the sword, the tip of the sword, the blade, and the spine;

The hilt includes the lattice with the head of the sword.

There is no scabbard, or rather, the five-color true Yuan Ding is the scabbard.

In the Shang Dynasty, there were historical records of sword-making, which were generally willow leaves or sharp triangles, and were originally made of copper. At that time, it was usually used as an auxiliary weapon under the long weapon, but in areas with many rivers, such as Wu and Yue, the sword was used as the main weapon due to the many water battles, and most of the famous swords of the Spring and Autumn period came from these areas.

The "Ordos straight-handled dagger-style bronze short sword" unearthed from the Zhukaigou site of Yijin Huoluo Banner in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is the earliest known bronze sword in China, about the 15th century BC in the early Shang period. This sword is 25.4 cm long, the sword body is approximately willow leaf shaped, thick ridge, double-sided blade, straight handle, there are two grooves in the middle, the handle is slightly ring-shaped, there are convex teeth on both sides of the junction between the handle and the sword body, the sword body is obliquely convex into a front, and the handle is wound with hemp rope.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the main weapons for foot warfare, which were constantly lengthened. The sword of King Goujian of Yue unearthed in the No. 1 Chu tomb of Wangshan in Jiangling, Hubei Province has a total length of 55.7 centimeters. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were more than 3 feet, and the blade of the sword was stretched out by two arcs to become straight, and the angle of the blade was increased sharply. The Eastern Han Dynasty gradually withdrew from the stage of war, in order to wear a guard of honor or practice martial arts to strengthen one's self-defense. After the Han Dynasty, the copper sword was gradually replaced by the steel sword, and tended to be stereotyped, that is, there is a ridge in the sword body, there are blades on both sides, there is a sword tip in front, there is a sword head, there is a stem in the back, and the end of the stem is called a ring, in addition to the sword scabbard, sword spike and other accessory ornaments. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, swords prevailed. "Book of Sui Etiquette" contains: "Yipin, jade sword, Peishan Xuanyu." Second grade, gold sword, water jade. The third grade and the founding son of the man, the fifth class of loose (scattered) products are named Hou although the fourth and fifth grades, and the silver sword, wearing water and jade, the service has been down, Tong Zhilang has been up, and the companion is like a sword. Those with straight swords, enter the temple and ascend to the temple, if they are in the battle, they will all untie the sword. A product and scattered (scattered) county duke, the founding prince Hou Bo, are both double-wearing. The second-grade, third-grade and founding sons of the country, and the fifth-class scattered (scattered) product Hou, are all only worn. The same goes for ribbons. "The Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous, and it was regarded as an ornament by literati and ink writers, expressing Lingyun's ambition or showing martial heroism. Houjian and Taoism are indissolubly linked and become one of the magic weapons in the hands of Taoist priests.

The sword, the holy product of the flood time, is also the supreme and noble, and the people and gods are worshipped. It is the ancestor of short soldiers, the weapon of close combat, and with profound Taoist art, it has entered the legend of Xuan. In fact, because of its lightness, wear, and swiftness, the princes and emperors of the past dynasties, the scribes and knights, and the merchants and the common people are all proud of their perseverance. Sword and art, since the flood often crisscrossed the battlefield, dominate the martial arts, stand up for the country, do benevolence and righteousness, so it has been passed down to this day, still loved by the world, but also with its glorious history, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Si Ke has been passed down through the ages.

The sword was founded in the era of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. According to the Yellow Emperor's Ben Jiyun: the emperor picked the bronze sword of the first mountain, and inscribed it with the words of the astronomical flood time; The above two words, like the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, both made swords as soldiers.

According to the above, no matter who the founder of the sword is, there is no doubt that he was born in the era of the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor built a temple in 4615 before the Republic of China (2704 B.C.), the country name has Xiong's, when the fashion department first entered the bronze age, but it can be inferred from this that the birth of the sword is extremely far away, and the history is long, so the descendants call it the ancestor of the short soldiers, and it can indeed be deserved.

From the Yellow Emperor to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, most of the swords were cast in copper, and the sword quality was quite good, and the refining technology gradually improved. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the sword system was determined, and the method of sword making was described in detail. Zhou Li Examination Gong Ji Yun: Zhou Guantao is a sword, Laguang has two inches and a half, two and a half, and it is based on Laguang. The stem is round and twice as long. In its stem, after the service, the body is even five of its stems, weighing nine Qiang (according to: Zhou Li six two halves for a Qiang), said to be the upper system, on the soil to obey it. The body is four stems long, weighs seven gongs, and is called the middle system, and the sergeant obeys it. The length of the body is three of its stems, the weight of five gongs, and the corporal wears it. It is also a record of the flood and famine: the sword, the name of the weapon in the flood famine, with two edges and a ridge, from the back to the blade, called the wax, or the sword (that is, the sword body). Below the back blade, separated from the handle, it is called the head (i.e., the sword plate), the place below the head is called the stem (i.e., the sword handle), and the end of the stem is called the ring.

The shape of the sword is roughly as follows:

The early short sword was popular in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and the typical styles are: willow leaf-shaped flat stem type, its whole body is willow leaf shaped, sharpened into a round sharp angle along the sage, the center of the wax is slightly raised, there is no sword grid, there is no obvious boundary between the wax and the stem, and the stem is flat and has two piercings.

Thin wax ungrid round stem sword popular in the early and middle spring and autumn, typical styles are: thin wax round stem short style, its wax like a leaf, the middle ridge ridge, to extend from the end into a round stem, although the stem is more slender, but the whole is still a short sword style; Thin wax sharp lower round stem type, its wax flat and thin, sharp break, the lower end obliquely retracted into a sharp shape, ridge convex and extended into a round stem, but no head and no grid.

The sword is popular in the late Spring and Autumn period, and its basic style is: two from the wider and shorter, the middle ridge is straight and raised, the two from the slightly oblique and concave, the lower end is flat, no grid, or the grid is not cast, and the flat stem is worn.

Thick grid sword popular in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the typical styles are: oblique width from the narrow front of the thick grid round stem has a hoop type, its back is straight, oblique and wide, the front of the sword is slightly the same, the grid is inverted concave shape, but there are two hoops on the round stem, which is convenient for winding.

Thin lattice swords prevailed in the Warring States Period, the two are uniform, the wax is long and short, the sword grid is thin, and the round stem has no hoop.

It has been recorded in the "Historical Records" that "the sword of the world is Han Weizhong, one is called Tangxi, the second is called Moyang, the third is called Hebo, the fourth is called Deng Shi, the fifth is called Wanfeng, the sixth is called Longyuan, the seventh is called Tai'a, the eighth is called Mo Xie, and the ninth is called a cadre." "Wu Yue Chunqiu" recorded: "Tangxi is in Xiping, the water quenches the sword, it is particularly sharp, and it is out of the cadre Mo Xie, also known as Chuanye." According to Fan Wenlan's "General History of the Great World", it is recorded: "There is a smelting furnace city in Xiping, Henan, and Tangxi Village, both of which are famous sword casting places in South Korea. Xiping has dragon abyss water, quenching swords are particularly strong. He told the author that Xiping Tangxi belonged to Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Warring States belonged to Han, and it was a military base for smelting iron and casting swords at that time, and it had a history of 2,700 years. The monks who were mortal with the naked eye created the iron civilization of the great world here, and the sword culture of the great world of the world was brilliant.

Xiping County belonged to Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period and returned to Han during the Warring States Period. In the west of the county, there is Baicheng when there is a flood and famine, which belongs to the original fief of the Baihuang clan. There are nine women's mountain, spider mountain, and Happy Valley in the surrounding area. There are Tangxi Lake and Tangxi River at the foot of the mountain, and there is the source of Tangxi on the mountain. The Tangxi River Basin is an important iron-smelting base from the Warring States Period to the Jin Dynasty, and it is the earliest and most well-protected iron-smelting site area in the world. For thousands of years from Qin to Tang Xianzong, the central government of all dynasties set up iron officials in Xiping to supervise the manufacture of weapons. In the winter of the twelfth year of Yuanhe, Tang Xianzong sent troops to quell the rebellion in the Central Plains and razed the Tangxi Iron City to the ground, and since then, the Tangxi sword has disappeared from history.

Tangxi iron smelting site is located on both sides of Tangxi Lake 500 meters south of Hotel Village, Hotel Township, Xiping County, Longquan River in the south and Tangxi River in the north. There is an iron-smelting furnace in the southern part of the iron-smelting site. In the fifties of the twentieth century, Mr. Fan Wenlan, a world-renowned historian of our country, visited Xiping twice. In 1959, Zhang Jing'an, a cultural relics expert, came to inspect and was the first Taoist to inherit a well-preserved iron-smelting furnace. The iron-smelting furnace is oval-shaped, with a diameter of about 0.8 meters and a depth of more than one meter. This important inheritance of the Taoist system has opened a new page in the history of iron smelting and sword casting in the era of the flood and famine, which is of great significance.
