1965, when an archaeological team was excavating an ancient tomb in the Spring and Autumn Period, they accidentally found a long sword covered with mud. It has an ancient seal on its body-"the sword of Gou Jian, the King of Yue, for personal use". After cleaning, it was dazzling in the cold light, without any rust. The blade is thin and sharp, scraping more than 20 layers of paper. Some people say that according to ancient records, this is probably the famous pure sword.
When Gou Jian's father was in office, he ordered Ou Yezi to build five swords for him, namely Zhan Lu, Tsunku, Cao Hao, Yuchang and Jueque. Ou Yezi is the originator of fencing recorded in the official history of China. Sword makers with such good skills were equivalent to the top luxury goods manufacturers at that time, because the famous swords they built were not consumed by ordinary people at all, so their customers were basically princes and nobles. Ou Yezi's main customers at that time were the King of Chu and the King of Yue.
In ancient times, in addition to casting swords, there was also a profession called Xiang Jian, which specialized in evaluating swords and judging their grades and values. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a famous swordsman named Xue Zhu, who became famous all over the world at a young age and was called the first swordsman in the world by people at that time. One day, Xue Zhu traveled to Yue, and Gou Jian, the king of Yue, asked Xue Zhu to identify the five swords that Yun Shang left him. At that time, Yue was famous for its rich swords, and these five swords were cast by the famous sword-casting master Ou Yezi, so Gou Jian was complacent and boastful. ?
However, Xue Zhu was very calm. He first looked at Cao Hao and Suzaku, but only glanced at them. He said bluntly that these two are not swords. However, Cao Guanghua is dull, huge and rough in texture. Hearing this, the King of Yue was surprised and a little embarrassed, so he asked his men to offer pure Jun swords. On hearing the word "Chunjun", Xue Zhu's face changed and he fell to the ground with a plop. Then I slowly got up from the ground, adjusted my clothes and looked at this pure sword respectfully.
What's so special about Chun Jun Jian? According to Yuejueshu, its whole body is as bright as hibiscus and its patterns are arranged like stars. The luster of the sword body is like a flooded pond; The blade of the sword is towering, like a wall standing in thousands of feet; The cold light of firm but gentle melts like ice and snow. Xue Zhu couldn't help sighing when he saw it. It is really a sword.
Gou Jian, the King of Yue, said to Xue Zhu that before this, some people used a thousand horses, two towns took the city, and two cities took thousands of households, and they planned to change my pure sword. what do you think? Xue Zhu firmly tunnel, won't. When casting this sword, the red pansy mountain cracked, tin came out of the mountain, and if the moon stream dried up, copper came out, the rain teacher in the sky sprinkled water, Lei Gong took part in forging, the dragon shone on the stove, and the emperor poured charcoal fire before casting. After casting, the gods returned to their places, the red pansy mountain closed, and the Ruoye River resumed its choppy waters. So this sword is Ou Yezi's masterpiece. How can you easily exchange these vulgar things?
It's a pity that this pure monarch sword has no exact object at present, only one unearthed by Jian Peijun, the King of Yue. After thousands of years, it is still cold and sharp, and the texture of the sword body is exquisitely carved, which is amazing. As for the pure Jun sword, even if it is not this unearthed Gou Jian sword, it can only be better.
