Republican Era Chinese Jian with clearly visible differential heat treating of the edge plate that creates a very hard edge. This harden edge makes it excellent for cutting, and it holds its edge quite well. However, the same hardness than makes for superior cutting effectiveness also means that the edge is relatively brittle. For this reason, Chinese Sword Arts standardly deflect with the blade flat rather that parrying with the edge.

Hard blocks with sanmai (three plate) type swords, those of China and Japan, with the edge can lead to a catastrophic failure of the blade.

Sword designs to match each character in the story:

(1) (2) (3) Chinese long swords - design inspired the real-life Swords with Scabbard Mounts from the Met collection - ca. 600 CE

(3) is the least fancy, with scabbard made of rather plain dark wood, to match the character's status, history and overall design; the owner doesn't throw it away despite being broken, not being able to easily get a brand new sword

(4) European sword modelled after a number of 6th century ring swords - robbed from a grave, and thus quite ornamental

Curious guards on museum samples

Curious guards on museum samples

Recently, while looking for illustrations for an article on ritual Taoist swords, I noticed that Taiwanese museum items have non-typical guard shapes. These seven stars jian are also comparatively short and lightweight.

Qing Bannerman The Dao was standardly slung with the hilt back in this fashion during the Qing period. Judging from this Bannerman's embroidered changpao and leopard skin jacket he is no doubt a high ranking officer.

My baby beauty. Jian is my favorite. This is the best one I've ever had. Heaviest by far, no flex in the blade at all, and a slight forward balance. I have enough forms under my belt to train sword for the rest of my life, but still I look forward to more. . . . . . . #kungfu #kungfupractice #martialarts #shaolin #shaolindo #weapons #sword #jian #taichijian #straightsword #jin #weapon #noflex #hardsteel #chinesesword (at Shaolin Martial Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCoJC9WFyX8/?igshid=13suul8ntzljk
