Wu Yue-type bronze sword on the origin and early development - to the sword as the center of early Wu Yue

No sword, 33.4 cm long, 8.9 cm stem length, maximum width of 3.5 cm body, stem with two ears, two Xianwen jewelry; Wuxian IJ type, length 39.5 cm, stem length 9. 3 cm, 4.3 cm maximum width of the body, stem decorated flat circle hoop; Wuxian III type, which is 41 cm, 9.3 cm stem length, maximum width of 3.9 cm body, oval stems, thick middle. The main features of the blade-type ridge in the lower level bar is raised, with a round stem sword blade class feature I like, but for the plain surface, and some stems with short strips, Fei ear, usually the length of the blade. Two types of stem flat sword, the most protruding problem is the emergence of a thin cell, and its inspiration from the Central Plains in the Shang Dynasty may not Hugo's À department. Sword of the current thin cells seen early in two: one slightly thicker, the lower ends of micro-arc convex; other is the word thin grid. Later with a thin lattice-based word. On the southern Anhui region, in addition Tunxi 5 sword, the sword here are mostly flat in early stem-type, and distribution of north in Huangshan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tongling, Fanchang most concentrated area, and basically outside the arc-type cells. Quantitative enough to reflect the areas in Southern Yue bronze sword sword in the history of the position. However, the overall development of the sword and the inheritance model, these flat stems may be later than the sword the sword round the stem lines, age and beyond in the middle and late Western Zhou, but does not rule out the possibility there may be even earlier types. Since the late Spring and Autumn began, the department, there was greater development of the sword, flat stem the use of the inconvenience, and gradually being abandoned in favor of an empty tube flared round stems sword,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the sword is prevalent in the style to the late Spring and Autumn Warring States period, and has been accompanied by the decline of bronze sword, the sword can be considered as follow-up to stem the development of flat type. Some characteristics of the body from the sword can be seen round the stem with flat stems sword sword are closely linked. Sword of the stem after the round before the flat together with the characteristics of disk-shaped first round stems I could learn from the class of the sword, while a flat blade and stem II class even more protruding parts of stem and ear Fei reflect this situation. Meanwhile, the flat blade type of stem lines round the stem-type system also brings a great impact on the development of the sword, which blade harassment decoration, tubular protruding ridges disappear gradually fade, the two lines of the sword blade gradually consistent. Material from the current perspective, this process was completed in about early to mid Spring and Autumn. Can be said that these changes all reflect a fusion, and fusion of the sword body is what a number of characteristics of Wu and Yue in the history of the early development of the sword a prominent feature. Until the late Spring and Autumn, Bronze Jian Jian Wu Yue Department of the gradual unification, a custom, that the sword of thick and thin stem cell rounded bell-shaped empty tube stem cell sword. Sword of the early Wu Yueqing copper can be summed up by more than the basic two systems, in addition, another very small number of more specific type of sword exists to absorb a two-line shape typical of the sword. One of the Zhenjiang No. 3, with thick cell, decorated with animal faces, but flat stem and under the continuous casting with a pair of prolate Fei ears, 40.3 cm long, 3.8 cm maximum width of the body. The other is the sword Changxing 6, the blade is flat ridge in the lower part of the bar raised, thin frame, cylindrical stems, no collar, plain blade length 33.9 cm, stem length 9.5 cm, the body's most 3.2 cm wide. Site Maanshan Anhui Kong out of five bear the sword ③, belonging to the late spring and early Western Zhou Dynasty, thin frame, double hoop round the stem, should be the same with the first two swords, the same sword style as a kind of early innovation, but not universally accepted, also not inherited. The above areas will be found in Wu and Yue made the early line up and classification of the sword, and set out initial views, to construct the system of Wu and Yue Jian, a more macro-evolution framework. We believe that the Central Plains manufacturing spears, advanced technology of these weapons Ge Yue Sword of the origin and evolution of an impact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], its shape may be borrowed from the spear, the shape of Ge in the development process, who also absorbed some of the characteristics of their devices. At the same time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], very early in the formation of Wu and Yue sword the two largest systems. Material from the current perspective, the South earlier in the north to the south northward spread round the stem in the process of the sword with the Northern Department of the fusion sword flat stem, forming a series of new sword, innovation and development coexist, and eventually fixed . This is reflected in a fixed number of features of the sword on the body, particularly thick cell and animal faces the first round as the representative of the sword. It can be said of Wu and Yue-style sword with the other systems in several parts of the sword, as it is a set of independently developed bronze sword system.
