Look at the 1000 sword recognizer. We might as well look at the shape first: the lines of the sword are straight and unyielding, giving people an indomitable character hint, which is in line with the chivalrous spirit; Knives, halberds, axes, cymbals, hooks, etc. Often crossed by arcs and straight lines, the personality hint is not obvious.

Look at the sword body again: the sword is often straight and slender, which coincides with the chivalrous character of the ranger.

Thirdly, the color of the sword: silvery white, reflecting this aboveboard chivalrous spirit; If a person's sword is bloody or black, then he has generally fallen into the magic road.

And in Xian Xia's fantasy novels, you yell, "Sword! ! ! "You can go with the imperial sword. If you want to step on a machete, you will fly all over the world. It is difficult to grasp the direction, and it is easy to string the wrong door. ......

Guan Sir Zhong made eighty-two catties of dragon crescent moon blade, Zhang Fei hit eight snake spears, and Dian Wei held eighty catties of double halberds; In the battle in Li Yuanba, the two golden hammers with handles on the black bean jar can knock people off their horses at the touch of sound waves without hitting people. Yuwen Chengdou's gold-plated boring, Qin's gold-plated mace, Wei Chi's lost iron whip, the three axes of the devil in troubled times, Li Cunxiao's loss, Wang's hundred pounds of double iron guns; Zhao Guanjia and Zheng En used sticks, while Betty Wong's bowl was thick, with double iron guns, hammers and eight hammers. ......

Is there a sword in romance? There are also, for example, Liu Huangshu held a pair of male and female double-stranded swords, and in that era when there were no stirrups, he often kept his brothers behind. As a result, Lu Bu won the reputation of playing 3rd Battalion all his life!

Therefore, according to storytelling, swordsman is not a profession, but actually a professional title.

By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ring handle knife suitable for chopping had replaced the long sword as a short weapon with a large number of equipment in the army. Later, on the battlefield, swords were mainly used to pretend to be forced. For example, Yang Zhi sold knives, and Lin Chong and Bai Hu Tang gave precious swords instead of swords.

Chai Jin: "Yang Zhi, do you sell swords?" Yang Zhi: "Chai Jin, did you toss a coin?"

......

The so-called gentleman holds a sword, and the prodigal son holds a knife. We only look at the protagonist:

Xiao Li Fei Dao Li Xunhuan

Shi Lang Jr. "Shi Lang Jr."

The prodigal son in the border town by Ye Kai

Fu Hongxue's Tianya Yueming Dao

Ding Ning's "The Sound of Knives in Wind Chimes"

Ding Peng's "Full Moon Machete"

Why Jin Yong likes swords and Gu Long only loves knives?

Because Gu Long thinks:

Most of the prodigals in Gu Long's works are down and out, as low as dust, and persistent and firm at the same time. Their fearless hearts bloom from the dust, and it is more appropriate to use a knife.

There is also a sword in the supporting role of Gu Long. If changed, the painting style will be very strange:

On the contrary, knives are easier to equip and train. Look at the ancient catcher and the Royal Guards. Where are the swords?

Moreover, among the eighteen exquisite weapons in ancient China, "swords, guns, halberds, axes, hooks and forks" are the most frequently heard. Face knives rank first here, which just shows the dominant position of knives in actual combat.

For example, Tu Ding used the "Qi Jiajun used a knife" that was widely rumored in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Moreover, the yogi's so-called "moon stick, year knife and lifelong gun and sword are hidden with you", which means difficulty.

Wide stick, easy to use, easy to open and close; Single-edged knife, there is no return, domineering; Guns are ready to go, and the requirements for strength are the most detailed. The "lifelong gun" is to maintain a strong body and a sense of "potential" for a lifetime; Sword is a double-edged sword, which is easy to hurt people and oneself, and pays the most attention to skill and feel. Therefore, if you don't practice for three days, you will often miss.

In fact, it is neither because it is necessary to give strength nor because it is useful in actual combat. The feeling that using a sword is better than using a knife in poetry and novels actually comes from the literary image.

If Li Bai, the sword fairy, realizes that "drawing his sword and looking around his heart", he will immediately have a sense of sight of Li Gui's upper body.

You can also imagine the following scenario:

In fact, swords, sticks and swords are all images, and poets and writers use this literary image to achieve the established "power", such as:

The image-building of the classic characters in the novel is often very consistent with the image expressed by the weapons they hold: just like in Slaughter the Dragon, Zhou Zhiruo holds the sword leaning on the sky and Xie Xun holds Tu Longdao.

For example, if it is rewritten as "Affectionate Hammer", Gu Long's coffin board will definitely be overwhelmed.

Change all the spicy sword moves into knives and you will know why. Just give a few chestnuts and feel it:

For example, the sword is the ancestor of victorious battles, and its history can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, The Four Assassins in Tai Shigong's works used swords except Jing Ke (dagger can also be a sword), while Zhuan Xu used a famous fish-gut sword. Goujian's sword, a national treasure, is not rusty for thousands of years, and is known as the first sword in the world. Famous soldiers, Ou Yezi and Mrs Xu are also swordsman. Have you ever heard of swordsman, young Xia? Even in the Republic of China, Lu Xun wrote about casting swords instead of forging knives. For example, his article "Casting Sword" is excellent, but it is a pity that Lu Xun wrote too few novels in his life!

By the end of the Han Dynasty, the sword with ring head replaced the sword and became the mainstream of weapons. But the sword: when the aura of the sword battle faded, it evolved from a weapon to a ritual vessel, and the role of refinement was the style-

Take a knife into battle to kill the enemy, that is Beowulf; Scholars with status follow the example of sages and walk with swords.

Therefore, Wang Bo wants to write purple cream, and Li Bai wants to wear a long sword, because "the blade is sharpened."

Therefore, Gong Sundaniang's sword dancer-"Beauty is like a jade sword like a rainbow!"

Sword is a ritual vessel, representing scholars and symbolizing class.

Knife is a murder weapon, born in roughness and used on civilians.

Therefore, the novelist's rendering of the Millennium Gu Jian is not so much the need of the plot as the literary image of the novel.

When the sword is endowed with cultural symbols, it in turn becomes the perfect symbol for shaping chivalrous people.

For example, my martial arts novel with the background of Ming Chenghua-the first sword dance in the world;

Friends who appreciate my writing can catch up with my new book and get some sleep.
