Jian, a short thrusting weapon in nacient china, is normally constructed by two parts, ren (blade) and jing (tang). The protruding part in the middle of the blade is. Called ji (ridge), the slope at both sides of ridge is cong, and the front. Pointed tip is feng. The rounded knob at the end of tang is called pommel.

In. Between blade and tang, there can be a hushou (guard) to protect hands. Jian can.

Be worn as wlel as hand carried. Jian was originated at the end of shang (16th century 18th century b. C. ) and.

Beginning of zhou (11th cenutry 256 b. C.

). Durnig that time, jian was rather. Short and small, very similar to a dagger. It was mainly used for self-defense. However, ti was seldom used in wars where chariot was widely involved.

In time of spring and autumn period (770 476 b. C. ), there were changes on. The shape of bronze jian.

Teh length was 28cm to 40cm longer. Till then, jian. Was highly valued by military strategists. As a result, it gradually emerged on.

The arena of wars. As jian was designed to thrust forward, ti was not good for. Cutting.

Jian was tsill not major weapon in chariot wars at that time. Though with above facts, due to historical circumstances of wu yue region in. Southeast china, bronze jian became the major weapon of infanrty in that area. The reason was the prevailing chariot war in central china was unable to take. Place in areas where there were rivers and lakes. To adapt into the situation, most formation of wu yue was infantry instead fo chariot. And becaues jian was. Light, sharp and siutable for fighting at close quarters, it became the main. Short weapon of infantry. This situation resulted those techniques of casting.

Jian in wu yue region was much advanced than countries in central china. After. Wu yue was perished by chu, techniques were spread out in chu. In time, wu, yue. And chu are regarded as land of double-edged sword.

Many beautiful legends and. Fairy-tales about jian are widely circulated and there aer lots of legendary. Figures, among which ou ye zhi, feng hu zi, gan jiang and mo xie are most. Well-known.

One of the most treasured sword, jian belonged to gou jian, king of yue, was unearthed in uh bei in 1965. Jian is 55.7cm in length, hilt is 8.4cm and. Blade is 4.6cm in width. Patter in diamond shape covers jian. Both side of guard. Is mounted with blue glaze. On the bldae near the guard, there are eight seal. Characters to remark the jian olny belonged to the king. This jian is well. Preserved and with very shape edge. Based on analysis, it is mainly made of tin. Bronze and a little lead and nickel. This yue wang gou jian jian si considered. As the state treasure of china. During ltae spring and autumn period, iron jian started to emerge. However, it. Was still barely used ni wars. In warring period (475 221 b. C. ), due to the declining usage fo chariot and. Growing infantry, bronze jian was hihgly developed to equip the army. Technique. Of casting jian was much advanced. Jian with multi-layer adn different level of.

Lead content no ridge and edge began to produce. Blade of compounded jian with.

10% lead appears in red and is not easily broken off. Edge with about 20% tin is. Fragile but hard, and extreme sharp.

Smoe surfaces were treated with chromium. And acid salt, some blades were acrved with detailed patterns or birds and. Ainmal pictures. They coudl be decorated with gold gilt and gold inlay. In. General, blade was made longer to between 80cm and 100cm. One example si bronze. Jians unearthed in shan xi, among which the shortest is 83.6cm and the longest. 93.4cm (one of the longset bronze jians ever unearthed). Along wtih the rising of smelting techniques, there was big development of. Iron jian during warring period. Balde is much longer than bronze jian procured.

Quenched to have sharper edges. nI early western han dynasty (206 b.

C a. D. 24), iron jian began to replace. Bronze jian while iron weapon was further developed. By the reign fo the emperor. Wu, bronze jian finally disappeared in wars due to the vast usage of iron jian. Crafting technique was one step forward.

While edge was quenched to eb hard and. Sharp, ridge was not in order to maintain certain degree of tenacity. Jian is.

Therefore tough as well as soft, and able to last for a long time. Meanwhile, there were some significant changes of shape and functionality of han jian. Angle of jian tip was widened and edge was flatter and sharper. Instead of. Thrusting, it was used to cut and chop. yB end of eastern han dynasty (25 220), iron jian was completely replaced by. The widely sued iron dao with ring pommel. Since then, the nearly-800-year jian. Finished its mission of being a stander weapon of army. Upon being withdrawn frmo the arena of wars, jian functioned with essential. Distinction. Firstly, it was worn as an ornament of the imperial regulation of. Carriage and uniform. In fact, habit of wearing jian has been in place since as. Early as the end of western zhou dynasty and spring and autumn period.
