As the saying goes, "The swordsman, the instrument, the ancestor of the short soldier, the king of the hundred soldiers." "The sword as the originator of the short weapon, and the gentleman of all the cold weapons." It can be said to have existed for thousands of years.
The "Chronicle of History" records that "Xuanyuan chose the day of his death and resigned from his subjects." Also buried bridge mountain, landslide, coffin empty, only the sword in the coffin. "This is the earliest record of a sword in Chinese history, about the death of the Yellow Emperor Of Xuanyuan, buried in the place of Qiaoshan. Later, the Yellow Emperor soared, the landslide cracked, and the coffin was empty, leaving only a sword left in the coffin, which was also the first sword recorded in history, the Xuanyuan Sword.
Of course, this description is somewhat mythical. But it is enough to explain a problem, that is, the sword was already a weapon in the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, but none of the swords of that period survived to the present. The oldest sword unearthed in China is a jade sword, which is polished from a whole piece of Xiuyan jade, which has a history of 6,000 years.
In the Shang Dynasty, bronze smelting technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and bronze swords began to develop rapidly, until the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period reached its peak, of which the bronze sword technology belonging to the Wuyue region was the most famous.
There has never been a shortage of good swords in Chinese history, such as the legendary Xuanyuan sword, as well as the sword that assassinated wang guanyu intestines, the green sword that slashed iron in Cao Cao's hand, and the famous male and female double-stranded cadres in the Spring and Autumn Period. Abound.
Among them, there are 5 swords that stand out among the hundred swords and become the most outstanding 5 swords in the ancient history of our country.
Ranking fifth is the Yitian Sword, many people think that the Yitian Sword does not exist, but is just a fictional divine soldier in Jin Yong's martial arts novels. In fact, in fact, there is really such a heavenly sword in history, which belongs to Cao Cao. Li Bai praised this heavenly sword in the "Song of the Linjiang King's Festival", saying that "Ande relied on the heavenly sword and crossed the sea to behead the long whale".
Cao Cao liked this sword very much before he died, but he used it in the wrong place, one was to kill Lü Bohao, who was kind to him at that time, and accidentally stabbed the attendant who came to cover the quilt in his sleep.
Ranked fourth is the Qingyi Sword, which is also Cao Cao's sword, and the Yitian Sword is called the Peerless Double Sword, because Cao Cao prefers the Yitian Sword, so he gave this sword to Xiahou En, and later in the Battle of Changshanpo, this sword was snatched away by the Shu general Zhao Yun from Xiahou En, holding this sword, Zhao Yun entered and exited seven times in Changshanpo, and there was no disadvantage.
The third in line is the Yue King's Gou Jian Sword, as mentioned above, the bronze sword was the most prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and during this period, the core origin of bronze swords in the country was Wu Yue. Therefore, the bronze sword worn by the Yue King can be said to be the best, and the allusion of "cutting iron like mud, blowing hair can be broken" was first derived from this sword.
In second place is the Chixiao Sword, the owner of this sword is Liu Bang, and there is a legend about it that is half-true and half-false. When Liu Bang was still serving as a pavilion chief in Pei County, one day, he escorted a group of hard laborers to Lishan Mountain to repair the tomb of the King of Qin, and when passing through The Mountain, he suddenly encountered a white snake that stood in the way, and Liu Bang took the Chixiao Sword and killed this giant white snake. After this story was passed out, people all over the world believed that Liu Bang had the order of an emperor and came to defect one after another, and there was a legend of "snake slaying uprising".
Of course, this may be a mythical story made up by the rulers to beautify the process of the uprising, and the Chixiao Sword has not been handed down today, whether it is true or false, only history itself can distinguish.
The first in the ranking is the Shang Fang Sword, no matter what kind of divine soldier, it is not as powerful as this sword, after all, this sword is like the arrival of the royal driver, it is the most valuable item given by the emperor to the courtiers, which is equivalent to the symbol of supreme imperial power. Fight the emperor on the top, behead the courtiers, cut first and play later, and cannot be a lifetime. No matter what kind of sword you are holding, you can only kneel down and beg for forgiveness in front of it, otherwise you will disrespect the emperor and will be punished for the crime of killing the head.
These are the 5 most powerful swords in history, how many have you heard of? Of course, the public is justified, and the mother-in-law is justified. This ranking is not absolute, and the most bullish sword is always the best one.
