We talk every day about the advanced weapons on the modern battlefield. But in fact, in our Chinese history, there are also many ingenious weapons. In those eras of cold weapons combat, the role played by these ingenious weapons was no worse than that of our current advanced weapons.
What I want to introduce to my friends today is a special weapon called the pole whip in the ancient Chinese cold weapon period. Legend has it that it was developed by ancient shepherds, originally suitable for sheep herding, and later became a martial arts instrument after some improvements. It is said that he is the weapon of the shepherds of the ancient Western Regions, so he is also called the Western Regions Whip.
These pole whips were originally used in the hands of shepherds to protect the sheep and whip the wolves. Later, this weapon was spread among the people of Hebei. Its shape is also very special, the front end is the length of a pole pole, one end is placed on the ground, and the other end is at the same level as the chest. Three or four rings are then attached to one end of the pole, and the ring at the very front is wrapped in a twisted chain of cowhide. The lens of the chain is an iron awl. The length of the entire rope is the same as the length of the pole.
There are many ways to use this weapon, and it can be used both soft and hard. In the process of use, it can be released as a whip, or it can be used as a whip. In such a long history, this weapon has also circulated many different moves, and the name is also very good.
For example, the cross is covered in red, and the white snake spits out letters. Oolong disc pillars and so on. It can be seen that this weapon is actually used more by people, otherwise there would not be so many moves circulating. In the process of using it, it can play a role in sweeping thousands of troops, although this is a bit exaggerated, but it is not a problem when using a gear. With a wave of the whip, the enemies in and out of the side may be damaged, so it can achieve the effect of making the enemy unable to get close.
In this way, this weapon can also have fewer enemies and more enemies, while it can be used both soft and hard, and there are many changes in moves. It also has the effect of sticks and whips, so that enemies can't see your moves. It is precisely because of his characteristics that many times people are dazzling and ornamental.
Although in this era of endless advanced weapons, such cold weapons can no longer play any role in war. But it is still a tradition in the history of Chinese martial arts, and these weapons are still being legendary to this day. Although they have lost their practical value, their historical and cultural values cannot be erased.
Nowadays, many historical and cultural researchers are protecting and inheriting these cold weapons, and many artists have also integrated these weapons into their own artistic creations, and the value of cold weapons has been extended for a longer time.
I still have to admire the wisdom of my ancestors, although there are no long guns and artillery, but these unique cold weapons are also the shining points that are firmly remembered by history.
