The origin of kendo? Pray for the great gods.
The word "Kendo" originated from the ancient book "Wu Yue Chun Qiu" in the pre-Qin period of China. China's two-handed saber technique comes down in one continuous line, which was spread to Japan during the Han and Tang Dynasties through the official exchanges of Japanese envoys in Sui and Tang Dynasties and Chinese mainland, as well as the non-governmental exchanges between the Korean Peninsula and the coastal areas of the mainland and the Japanese archipelago. The knife method introduced to Japan has been evolving in the years of the Japanese War. In the increasingly stable edo period in Japan, the basic forms of kendo protective gear and bamboo sword were made by imitating the style of Japanese armor, which laid the embryonic form of sports kendo in the future. Kendo generally refers to sports kendo. The traditional ancient kendo, also known as fighting skill, is called fencing (у), (fencing) and (けんじゅつ) in Japanese, which is a "real" mountain fighting skill used by ancient Japanese warriors in battle, similar to the sword in The Last Warrior. In addition, another important difference between Dojo and Dojo is that the kendo uses a bamboo knife (しなぃ) (Shi Nai) and the Dojo uses a mountain city (かたなな) (for). Because it is an indispensable thing in combat, its usage has been studied since ancient times. With the change of using method, the making of sword has also changed, which is a remarkable fact from the history of sword. Another meaning of the sword is symbolic utility, such as prayer, sacrifice and sacred protection. It is not difficult to understand by studying ancient myths and legends. As one of the three artifacts (the symbol of the throne, the three treasures inherited by Japanese emperors), such as praying or wishing and offering swords to gods, appointing generals and giving swords. , are proof of this meaning. Before Japanese knives evolved into modern forms, China knives were mostly used in ancient Japan. In the 10 century, Japanese history was the politics of aristocratic center. Political chaos, so local tyrants had to gather to practice martial arts in order to defend their country, and samurai was born. The samurai then devoted themselves to the improvement of swords and guns, because China's sword was changed to Japanese sword. After increasing practical experience, the first nine years and the last three years of Anping period, as well as the rebellion of Baoyuan Pingzhi, formed Japan's unique swordsmanship. That is the foundation of Japanese kendo today. These histories also influenced the making of swords. The former straight China sword was replaced by the Japanese sword with ridges or bends. By the middle of heian period, it had become a pure Japanese Dao. The title of ancient swords is called or in the Yamato era. There was a word fencing in Nara era, but the pronunciation was still "or". In the Anping era, it was called.
