The second weapon spectrum of the water margin: what weapon is giant?

Knife is a short weapon with chopping performance. It has a long history, starting from the distant and ancient prehistoric society and continuing to the wars with various firearms as the main weapons in modern times. It is also inseparable from the extraordinary performance of the operation. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's war song "The broadsword cuts at the devil's head" inspires us to remember the hard times of the past and maintain a strong revolutionary fighting spirit.

Short knife, long knife and curved knife have their own functions and uses. The knives used in foot combat have various models and different functions, which should be the most commonly used things for imperial troops and Jianghu heroes.

In the late Warring States period, King Wuling of Zhao rode and shot Hu Fu, and cavalry began to appear as independent arms. After the Chu-Han War at the end of Qin Dynasty, the cavalry system was established, and the short-handled weapon specially used for horseback riding began to appear in the Western Han Dynasty.

The Dragon Crescent Moon Knife in Romance of the Three Kingdoms belongs to the broadsword with long handle. It is hard to imagine without the invention and application of stirrups.

There are many kinds of knives in Song Dynasty, which is the heyday of ancient knives. There are three kinds of short-handled knives: hand knives, horse-chopping knives and short knives. Among them, the horse-cutting knife is a special steel knife used by infantry to cut horse legs when they enter cavalry combat. There are also double-edged knives, curved knives with single-sided tips tilted backward, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent, crescent,

According to the book, iron knives with long handles began to appear in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and long-handled broadswords were made by knife dancers in the Song Dynasty, with the names Taiping, T-shaped, array-opening, array-arranging, slant-cutting and turning knives, with a total length of more than 3 meters.

The Water Margin describes the phenomenon that all kinds of knives are widely used. Whether it is the regular army of the imperial court or the pursuers in the cottage, the main combat weapons are knives and sticks, and most of Liang Shanbo's heroes also use knives.

(The one on the right is Ju)

The knife is the right length and bright as a mirror. First, it will give the opponent a psychological deterrent, and then it will be used fiercely. Can enter and retreat, can be long or short. Horses and foot combat have their own advantages and are the first choice for military equipment.

Bow, also known as fighting knife, flying knife or? Knife, a weapon between broadsword and single knife, is a weapon with a long and wide steel knife mounted on a wooden handle. When in use, the knife is held in both hands, and the blade is chopped by the weight of the blade and the steel knife itself to achieve the effect.

In the battle of heroes in Liangshan, Giant is the one with the highest appearance rate, and it is also the most convenient, cheapest and available weapon for heroes in Jianghu. At that time, Jianghu heroes had to take two kinds of weapons, a broadsword and two ju, when they went out, and the contents in a Water Margin were clearly displayed.

I didn't forget that the famous Wu Erlang spilled blood on the Yuanyang building and killed Zhang Dujian, a family of dozens of men and women, using ju.

Lin Chong, the leopard head, rushed to Liangshan and was envied by Untitled Scholar Wang Lun. He needs warlords to fight the green-faced beast Yang Zhi at the foot of the mountain. Both of them used ju.

Li Kui jy killed four tigers with ju, and the red-haired ghost took ju on the road, but he couldn't beat the Big Dipper of the birth class with ju. Even Zhu Heng's sidearm in the official office was this thing.

This bow has a handle and is easy to carry. Perhaps it is like the need of film and television performances now, putting a cloth bag on it, fearing its light, scaring passers-by and making the official suspect that it wants to do evil.

Giant, also a Jianghu weapon, can be understood in this way.

In the novel, Lu Junyi, the jade unicorn, ran away from home after fortune-telling and divination under the persuasion of spies, and assembled a giant himself, which was completed in several steps:

First, take a suitable tool and open the machine card of the rear handle for standby;

Second, put it somewhere on a long and hard pole;

Third, and finally, tighten the docking device for reinforcement, and check whether the front, back, up and down are connected as a whole to complete the simple work.

It can be seen that there is such a ju, which is easy to disassemble and assemble. Is it because Yu Qilin is smart? Maybe.

In a word, Ju was an ordinary and practical person at that time. It is a weapon for self-defense and convenient application, and later it gradually became popular. Also, at that time, the world was not peaceful, bandits were fierce, and even wild animals were everywhere. There were historical records of tigers chasing girls in a street town during the day.

It is said that the Mongols were in power in the Yuan Dynasty, fearing that the revolutionary nation would liberate the country, and the people's hearts were unstable, and soldiers were forbidden to use weapons everywhere. Ordinary people cook with kitchen knives every day, and ten families use them, locking them on chains. It is a complete joke to establish the real-name registration system for registered users and the restriction of the crime of investigating responsibility.
