An irreplaceable cold weapon in the history of Chinese swords--the plain Han sword
In Chinese history, cold weapons have always occupied an important position. Today, although cold weapons are rarely used, they still cannot resist people’s love for them. Among them, Han Jian is the most popular cold weapon.
The Han jian, as the name suggests, is the steel sword that flourished in the Han Dynasty. As the development of the iron smelting industry in the Han Dynasty broke through the length limit of the bronze sword, the sword body of the Han jian became thinner and narrower and the sword edge was sharper. In the early Western Han Dynasty, it replaced the bronze sword and was widely used in the military. As the last battlefield sword, the Han jian occupies an irreplaceable position in the history of Chinese swords.
According to historical records, the Han jian was mainly used as a battlefield weapon for infantry at the time. It was used with shields to form sword and shield soldiers. Until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the first sword gradually replaced the Han jian and became the mainstream of the battlefield. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Han Jian completely withdrew from the battlefield and became a pure symbol of power.
