Why the 23 Inch Archaic Chinese Bronze Sword is so Great
The reason the 23 inch Archaic Chinese bronze sword is so great is that it is a one of a kind replica of the original sword. Although the handle and the plaque are made from wood the blade itself is made from full cast bronze. It will be a great addition to any sword collectors displays.
The history of Chinese swords begins during the pre-history of Earth's prehistoric time, when swords were carved from stones. It wasn't until the Bronze Age in China, which began during the Xia Dynasty, from 2205 to 1766 B.C., that people began forming swords from bronze.
By melting down the bronze metal and pouring the hot metal in a sand or clay mold. This helped to shape the sword. After the sword had cooled, the swordsmith would then reheat the sword on a forge and pound the metal more into shape. This process took several times to form the sword into the shape that the smith desired.
Once it was formed and had plenty of time to cool off, the smith then used would to create a handle for the sword. The swordsmith would then use a rough stone to sharpen the sword into a very sharp edge. Once this was completed the smith then used other tools to itch symbols, words, and pictures on the top edges of the sword.
Then it was time for the smith to make a sheath for the swords which he created. He would go as far as painting symbols on the sheath as well. This was because the ancient Chinese believed that symbols and names of gods and other words would help a shoulder win victories during battle.
However, the art of bronze sword making came to an end around the Zhou Dynasty around 1045 B.C. Chinese sword crafting was considered to be a very sacred art. So the craftsmen grouped all of their weapons into two distinctive groups; the first group included swords which were only sharpened on one side and thick on the other, and were called Dao, the second group was sharpened on both sides, these types were called Jian.
From 500 B.C. bronze Jian swords began going through some major changes as smiths began using different types of metal which was added to the bronze to make the metal much stronger than it was in its original form. This helped the sword have a much sharper edge and also helped the spine to absorb more of the shock when striking an object.
It was also during this time that 23 inch swords became very popular with the warring states until the Song Dynasty began. So you see why the 23 inch Archaic Chinese bronze sword is so great that all devoted sword collectors should have at least one in their entourage.
