The sword, a short weapon, a common weapon in ancient China, is called "the king of a hundred soldiers", that is, the meaning of the gentleman in the sword. The sword is not only a weapon in Chinese culture, but also a ceremonial instrument and a symbol of status. It has a special significance for China.
On the one hand, China's sword culture is in the same vein as the chivalrous culture, paying attention to deep concealment. Li Bai's "Chivalrous Journey" chanted: "Kill one person in ten steps, and leave no line for a thousand miles." Something to whisk away the clothes to hide deep with the name." When the sword is not sheathed, it is just a decorative ornament, and the ordinary is very inconspicuous. But once the sword is unsheathed, the murderous spirit that comes to the face makes people feel awe.
On the other hand, the image of the Chinese sword is to convey the attitude towards life through the sword. In China, the sword has always been straight and upright, and in the traditional consciousness, not only must people stop and be upright, but even the sword must be upright. Therefore, the Han sword is straight and the blade is sharp, which perfectly interprets the characteristics of "the sheath is sharp and exposed, and the sheath is simple and unpretentious".
