The story of "Trace of the Japanese Pirates" is not complicated: Qi Jiguang and other famous anti-Japanese generals passed away, and the formations they left behind were retained by the army and are still exerting great power. However, his original straight sword was not accepted by the army due to its weird shape. His two remaining soldiers wanted this sword and related sword techniques to be passed down among the people as a martial arts sect, so that the people would also have the ability to resist Japanese pirates. But to create a new martial arts sect, one must pass through the four gates of martial arts (equivalent to the permanent director of the Chinese Martial Arts Association). However, these four gates still thought that the shape of this straight long knife was weird and refused their request for a test. Therefore, they had to use various methods to show them the power of their sword skills and mental skills...

Here I think it is necessary to explain why the "Japanese-breaking sword" without any arc is not Being accepted by mainstream martial arts people is actually related to China's traditional culture. Traditional Chinese culture believes that music has feelings. Our yin-yang fish is surrounded by a circle with arcs. The curve dividing yin and yang in the middle is of course also curved. In Feng Shui, people don't like a straight road leading directly to their door, so they have to build a screen wall to block it. In other words, our traditional Chinese culture likes curves and curved things, and does not like straight things and things. Therefore, it makes sense that the "Po Japanese Sword", which is basically a straight line, is not liked by mainstream martial arts people.

However, what is very darkly humorous is that one of the four gates in the film was questioned by several singing girls from the Western Regions: Why don't you outflank them from behind? His answer turned out to be: We are a decent family. , pay attention to attacking from the front. They do not accept the linear "Japanese sword", but stubbornly adhere to the straight and rigid attack method. This can not but be said to be a kind of satire on the so-called respectable people! There are many jokes in the film that can be regarded as black humor: Qiu Dongyue, who claims to be the best in the world, dyes his beard with ink in order to give people a younger look. Dark. Several singing girls from the Western Regions like to watch martial arts competitions, and they are as enthusiastic and obsessed with it as modern people like to watch the Super Girl Show!... Well, it’s time to talk about the real technical issue: the broken Japanese sword in the film is one palm longer than the ordinary Japanese sword. And only the growing part is bladed. In this case, the length of the knife is increased, and it can be used as a stick to swing, a knife to cut, and a spear to stab. However, although long weapons are powerful when swung, their shortcomings are also obvious: they cannot be used in narrow spaces, and they may even become a burden to the user and cause harm to the user. The Japanese sword is only bladed within a palm-length width at the top, which means that the user can hold the middle and front ends of the weapon for fighting, so that the weapon can be used as an ordinary weapon. Swords and even daggers can be used, and they are not restricted by the narrow fighting environment! Qi Jiguang designed such an exquisite weapon. Isn't the changing use of this weapon a technical problem? And anyone can use it, and it is easy to popularize!

Therefore, from this technical perspective, the film tells us the story of several knights who solved "how to serve the country and the people" from a technical perspective, so that "the great knight serves the country and the people". A quote doesn't just exist as an inspirational saying and noble sentiment.

This is undoubtedly a useful attempt in Chinese martial arts movies, and it may really bring new breakthroughs to the already popular martial arts movies! It deserves the attention of all martial arts movie lovers, cold weapon fans, film critics and martial arts movie directors!
