(1). According to the years, there are five kinds of * * *:

1. Straight Dao (ancient Dao). Knives cast from Gufen period to Nara period are mainly from 238 BC to 77 AD. < P > The blade of the sword in this period is straight without bending.

2. Ancient Dao. The Dao was mainly cast in the period from heian period to Wenlu, in the middle of Heian, Kamakura, Yoshino and Muromachi,

from the first year of Datong (86) to the fourth year of Wenlu (1595). This is also the period when the Japanese sword we see now took shape. The sword in this

period is not much different from what we see now.

3. New knife. Knives cast in the Antu Taoshan period and the middle and late Edo period are mainly from Keinaga to Ernst & Young (middle and late Edo), from Keinaga's first year (1596) to Hewa's third year (183). The age when the famous knife was doubled.

4. New knives. Knives cast in the Edo period and the end of the curtain period are mainly from the first year of culture (184) to the third year of Qing 'an (

1867). In this period, the sword cut by man is the most famous. Every sword was soaked with blood, and some even belonged to its owner. Is this < P > period? #124; The difference is that there are a lot of people who have caesarean section.

5. Modern knives. Knives cast after Meiji era, from the first year of Meiji (1868) to the present. Most of the Japanese sabers that our people have a deep hatred < P > came from this period (it is also common for some officers to bring famous family knives to the battlefield). I remember this was introduced in detail in Light Weapons, so I won't comment on it next. In addition, due to well-known reasons, it is easy to cause controversy to discuss the replacement of sabers. I am not thick-skinned and patriotic, and I don't want to be scolded to death. It is insensitive to discuss this aspect. Declare first ...

(2), according to the length and use:

1, Taidao. In particular, it refers to a machete with a large curvature and a blade length of more than 2 feet (66cm) and less than 3 feet (about 1m). Tai

Dao is slightly different from the sword-beating Dao. The difference lies in the scabbard. Tai Dao scabbard has two pure gold objects (to put it more bluntly,

has two knife rings), which are woven with ribbons to form each other, and the knife is hung around the waist (this weaving method is extremely complicated, so it is confusing to get

next time, so it is finished with a belt, which is so complicated. Silly Japanese ...). Taidao is basically a knife with both hands, and

there are also samurai who hold Taidao with one hand. The curved shape of the blade body makes the swing chop more effective, which inherits the curved shape of the earlier Mao < P > shaped Taidao. The appearance of this kind of swords has changed the way of joint warfare from hiking to riding. However,

I think it is extremely stupid. The advantage of Japanese Dao is that both hands hold the knife, and the chopping force is extremely great. One hand holding the knife has not become a common machete, and the handle with such a long length will only get in the way. It is better to change it into a sabre.

2. Make a knife. Generally, it is called "Dao", which can be said to be the representative sword of Japanese Dao. The forms of Dao-beating and Tai Dao are basically the same < P >, and one of the differences between them is that there are small handles and blades inserted on both sides of the scabbard mouth of Dao-beating: the small handle is a kind of 6-inch (about 18cm) left < P > right knife, which is rarely used in combat, and is generally used to cut things and cut lines. There are occasional descriptions of throwing with small handles instead of the sword in the swordsman's novels; It's a prop inserted on the opposite side of the small handle, which is used to arrange hair and tickle (true TNND, I couldn't help but want to swear when I first knew it, and now I can't help it, so those who feel this way may wish to curse together ... _). Another difference

is that the carrying method is different. Taidao hangs the blade down on the waist, and the knife is usually inserted into the belt up

. Of course, some blades are inserted into the belt down, but most of them are inserted into the belt up (tongue twister? Nonsense! ! ）

。 Therefore, Japanese samurai usually draw their swords backhand. Therefore, in order to be suitable for this kind of wearing method inserted at the waist, the body of the knife is designed into a curved shape, and this curved design is called "Beijing reverse". The central part of the blade is designed as the most curved

place, which makes it easier to draw the knife. Therefore, the skill of drawing out a sword and attacking is produced, which is drawing out a knife. Heibee, a famous swordsman Tamiya, after repeated exploration, summed up the art of living together

which originated from sabre-drawing, but will be more effective when fighting one-on-one (living together like a sword ...). This kind of sword appeared as early as the Kamakura era, but it was short at that time and was called "bayonet". In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the grown-up swords became popular, so the bayonets were lengthened, resulting in a longer Taidao < P > and the prototype of beating a knife. Muromachi era, the development of daggers entered a heyday, and began to work with? #124; Poor * * * is worn between the waist

. What is the difference between this kind of knife and? #124; The way of wearing the same clothes has continued to this day.

The picture above shows a knife fight with? #124; The poor combination is owned by Maeda Toshiie.

It is said that this Dao took part in the bucket-to-bucket battle. The body of the knife is engraved with "loyalty to the light". #124; The difference is the work of preparing the scenery before

3. #124; Poor (also known as? #124; Refers to). The length of the blade is 29.9-6 cm. This kind of thing, this kind of thing, how can I put it ... Actually, < P > is a special weapon for laparotomy. Don't do anything, usually only for suicide. At ordinary times, the Japanese usually offer it as a family guardian

, but when they want to fight with others, they take it down and wear it with Tai Dao or Dao, which is generally not allowed to use

. Of course, when you are really anxious, you don't care about that. Naturally, it's useful for cutting people.

:) Actually, I don't think the design of this weapon is successful either. It's too short for fighting, and it's too long (not allowed) to eat meat at ordinary times

. Most of the time it's just a decoration. Even if you can't beat yourself and want to commit suicide, it's still a question whether there is time for you to have a quiet caesarean section on the battlefield. _ So, if you have to bring a short weapon to the battlefield, I still insist on bringing a double-edged guy, and besides the function of a knife, it should also be used as a tool for survival in the wild (modern multi-purpose bayonets

, I'm really out of my mind ...)

4. ninja knife. This kind of Dao is similar in appearance to the ancient Dao, and it is also a straight Dao, but it lengthens and strengthens the handle (if you stand high on the knife, you can't do it if it's not strong); The blade is shorter than ordinary knives; The scabbard is specially made, with a small hole on it (easy to breathe < P > underwater); The knife is also tied with a 3-foot-long rope (this is very useful, but I can't say a word or two clearly).

5, short knife. Is this a comparison in Japanese history? #124; Weapons with short difference (blade length 1CM-29.9CM) are mostly used for women's self-defense and self-defense for honor. Generally, women commit suicide in the following ways: 1. After kneeling down, tie their legs with ribbons. Hold a knife in both hands, flat the blade, and stab it straight at the throat. 2. Leggings should be tied after kneeling. Hold a knife with one hand, and the blade is close to the carotid artery. Press a part of the back of the knife with the other hand, and then wipe it hard. In fact, stabbing the throat is not a "patent" for women. Members of Japan's Kamikaze Death Squad

in the late World War II all had a short knife for suicide. The short knife was a "flat" single-edged sword, with white wooden scabbard (some scabbard was painted) and a leather case

(there was a lanyard on the leather case). The short knife is put in a sack and enshrined in a shrine. It is taken off and hung around the neck when going into battle. Before the collision with the ship, the pilot adjusts the plane, and then sticks his neck or stab him in the throat. (This section has been deleted, but as something for my own reading,

it's better to keep the original ...)

The shogunate used a short knife with a treasure embedded in it, and the author made a long boat to clear light (16th century)

6. Tai Tai Dao. Tai Tai Dao is also called Wild Tai Dao. Those whose knives are more than 3 feet belong to this category. Kamakura warriors are proud of their heroism and wrist strength, and then they can boast of their mighty weapons-Taidao with a long blade has repeatedly appeared on the battlefield. Kojiro's love knife "

Changguang" is a big Taidao which is three feet and two inches long. Longer knives, about five feet long, emerged one after another during the Warring States Period (in horse wars, the length of the knives is appropriate < P >). There are many exaggerated descriptions in the book "Taiping Ji", and the description of Taidao over 5 feet (about 15cm) can be seen in many places.

The longest Taidao recorded in the literature is 9 feet 3 inches. In addition, the longest surviving wild Taidao is 7 feet, 4 inches and 2 minutes < P > (about 225cm), with a curved part of 3 inches and 1 minute (about 9.4cm) and a body size of 1 inch and 2 minutes (3.6cm). This Dao is now in Niigata Mihiko Shrine, and it is one of Japan's national treasures. You don't understand how to use this knife step in wartime, do you? Listen to me slowly: ... it's

true, there's no secret. Put the knife on your shoulder, hold it in your right hand, put your left arm on the back of the knife, and chop it hard! ! (miss

... you! ! ! ! ! ..... What should I do? ..... wait for death! ! )

7. Kodachi. Kodachi refers to the Taidao which is less than 2 feet (66cm). Except the size is different, the others are basically the same as Taidao. One

inch long and one inch strong, in Japanese history, there have been fools who only use Kodachi to chop people-the great swordsmen who created the rich field stream by Tomita Jiulang, who was born in the middle stream

Saemon's long family. Musashi Miyamoto, by contrast, is much smarter. First, he defeated 3' 2 "Changguang with a 4' 2" wooden < P > knife. Later, when he was about 5 years old, he became a swordsman with two big and small knives (that is, one is too big and the other is too big < P > knife). This is the famous "first-class in two days". Kodachi in the left hand and a big knife in the right hand are perfect in coordination of yin and yang (< P > How awesome it is to chop people with two knives! ! ）。 That's not counting. Two days ago, the first-class swordsmen still had one in their arms? #124; Poor, when you go to the battlefield

, take a pike or bow and arrow, which is simply armed to your teeth ... _

8. Mao-shaped Taidao (けぬきがたたち). Mao Yan-shaped Taidao is a kind of sword with integrated handle and blade < P > that appeared in the middle of heian period. The alias is also called "Wild Sword". It is characterized in that the design of the handle has clear carvings, which can be seen at the handshake and the head of the handle. Both the handle and the blade are curved, which is affected to some extent by the impact of the hammer. #124; The influence of the commonly used

fern hand knife is mostly suitable for killing at once. The Mao-shaped Taidao was originally worn by military officers, but later it became a staff only for officials or officials.

length: 8 ~ 1cm, weight: .9～1.1kg Emergence period: Ping 'an ~ Southern and Northern Dynasties (974～1391)

9 p > 9. The size of the knife is half too big. The big and small half Taidao is a unique group of knives held by the samurai class. It appeared in the early sixteenth century.

The combination of long knife and short knife is named "size". In the war between China and the Japanese in the Ming Dynasty, there were many records of using this double-edged sword to fight < P >. For example, the enemy "hands dance with two knives, which are more than five feet long, and their wrists move, and the front is very long." Its knife flies, and it is like snow,

and it can be hit without stopping. " Moreover, in actual use, many samurai who use this kind of knife combination usually draw a long knife

on their left hand in actual combat. The officers and men of the Ming army fought with him and only dealt with the long knife in his left hand attentively, while he took the opportunity to secretly draw a short knife

from his right hand to sneak attack ... (* * *, the devil is cunning). In fact, many of these combined knives are just right? Kill ting? Its actual quality is not very high. Strictly speaking, most of them don't belong to the discussion scope of this post-Japanese flat sword with hidden pattern

Second, the structure of Japanese sword and the names of various parts: (See the picture below, is it clear enough? )

Don't you get it? Then draw a picture directly and see for yourself (don't laugh if you don't draw well). In fact, I don't think many people will be interested in this kind of thing that is too specialized. Besides, it's useless to know this kind of thing, so let's just have a look and have a fun

. Just let the Japanese know, don't bully me! !

well, the names of all the parts are clear, so let's take a look at the making of accessories except the blade. It's

a long story. It's a terrible headache. How can I put it? The Japanese knife maker just hits the blade. After he hits the blade, he can wrap it in soft

wood and sell it. That is to say, when we buy a knife, we can only buy the blade, scabbard and chisel of a Japanese knife, and we need to find someone else to match it ourselves. The production of these accessories can be mainly divided into three arts: wood, gold and lacquer. These are

the strengths of traditional Japanese arts and crafts, and also the source of the strength of Japanese flat dark-light pattern blades compared with Damascus knives ... (It's too long, moreover, the attachment can't help but talk about the knife culture, which inevitably involves

Japanese "sex culture", so here it is.

In addition, there are special regulations on the placement of Japanese swords, which are basically as follows: (with knives): A Taidao-placed on a shelf specially used for Taidao (resting on the floor), with the handle head inclined downward, the scabbard clang inclined upward, and the blade inclined downward, and generally

leaning against the tool rest (upright pendulum method); It can also be placed on an ordinary Japanese tool rest, with the blade facing down, the handle on the left and the knife tip on the right (slightly placed); B Knife-placed on an ordinary Japanese tool rest, with the blade on the top and the blade on the bottom, the handle on the left and the blade on the right; C rib difference

- the same knife; D saber -94, 98 saber can be both; Other sabers are the same as knives.

Third, the origin and famous craftsmen of Japanese Dao:

The origin of Japanese Dao can be called "Five Guis and Seven Roads", and the five Guis are within the capital: five countries: Yamato, Hequan, Hanoi, Shancheng and Rakhine

; Seven fingers? #124; Mountain road, Hokuriku road,? #124; Sea Road, Shanyang Road, Shanvagina Road, Nanhai Road and Xihai Road are seven roads and sixty-five countries. Specifically

? #124; Mountain Road: Lu Ao, Yuhou, Yuqian, Luzhong, Luqian, Yandai, Pancheng, Xiaye, Ueno, Xinnong, Meinong, Fei

Shanyang Road: sowing and grinding, making beautiful works, preparing for the future. After the building, before the building, after the building, before the fat, after the fat, toward the sun, in the corner, and in Samo

Among them, "five" is the most famous, and the five are Shancheng, Dahe, Xiangzhou and Meinung respectively. The following

will introduce the characteristics of Wu Shu and his famous swordsmen.

1. Shancheng. Most of them are straight blades, which are characterized by straight lines.
