In the water margin, there is such a star weapon. I don't mean how powerful this weapon is, nor how sophisticated it is, but that it has been played so many times in the Water Margin that people feel familiar with it.
For example, Lin Chong used it when he ran to rob Liangshan Na warlords. It has also been used in history to kill Li Ji and cut down Korean pine forests. In addition, there are Liu Tang, Yang Zhi, Lei Heng, Song Wu and Song Jiang. Used it, too. This weapon is huge.
The bow is about 1.2 to 1.5 meters long, and the blade is longer than the broadsword, accounting for about half of the total length. You can chop, stab, and cut, and there are many patterns. A Wushu proverb says, "Look at your hand with a single knife, look at your hand with a double knife, and look at your hand with a big knife."
When practicing a giant knife, the knife is like a tiger with a clear back blade. When using any technique, you must hold your hand firmly. Because the giant is widely used, it is a common weapon for people who walk in rivers and lakes.
From the appearance, it is no different from broadsword, but compared with broadsword, the blade (that is, the blade) accounts for a larger proportion, which is the most obvious difference between bow and broadsword. The usage of bow is to hold the handle with both hands, which is suitable for chopping, so it is also known as "double-handed belt".
The earliest appearance of the giant knife should be in the Song Dynasty, but there was no detailed record at that time, only some clues were mentioned in some historical materials. Although many heroes in Water Margin used this weapon, in real history, bows were widely used around the end of the Qing Dynasty.
As we all know, in the Qing dynasty, in order to ensure the stability of the rule, people were not allowed to make weapons. But by the time of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, they had widely used this weapon. Therefore, the giant also has a very interesting name-Taiping Dao. It should be noted that many battles of the Taiping Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were won by giants.
Time flies. In modern times, many people only know the name "ju", but they don't know its shape. Many people think that Ju and Japanese mountain cities have something in common. This is nonsense. These two weapons are completely different.
First of all, from the appearance, the two knives have different structures. Secondly, in terms of strength, China's huge weight has an advantage in chopping.
Moreover, judging from the giant knife recorded in the ancient books of the Ming Dynasty, the assassination effect of the giant knife is amazing, which can form a huge wound in the shape of the Yangtze River Delta. According to ancient medical conditions, this kind of stab wound is very likely to cause fatal injuries.
However, the blade of the giant is too long to be used in a narrow space, while the Japanese sword is exquisite and light, suitable for sensitive attacks, and more suitable for fighting in a narrow place than the giant.
