According to legend? Taidao? It appeared at the end of heian period, where samurai rode horses and patrolled the market with knives during the sacrificial ceremony, so that people could have a look at the samurai. Later, Taidao went to war.
Generally speaking, Taidao means that the length of the blade is more than two feet, the length of the blade is usually more than 80 cm, and the curvature of the blade is higher, which exceeds that of the ordinary mountain city in both length and weight. In addition, Taidao hangs the blade at the waist, which is different from the mountain city. Taidao was originally used as a samurai cavalry PK, but with the change of war, it was also equipped in the foot soldiers in Kamakura era and Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, people who can use this kind of knife are generally tall and have certain strength.
In the14th century, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties in Japan, a large number of Taidao different from the previous ones appeared rapidly. Madame said? This kind of knife belongs to the large-scale wild Taidao.
At that time, the average height of Japanese was 150cm to 165cm, and there were even many people below 150cm. In contrast, this lady's knife is quite a huge weapon, which is completely out of proportion to her height. The lady's knife is usually carried on the back of the user, but if the height exceeds 180 cm, it can be like? Knife? Don't wear it around your waist. However, it was not easy to find a tall man in Japan.
For the warriors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the most boastful thing is their courage and strong wrist strength. If they can carry a big and long knife on the battlefield, they will make themselves stronger. The samurai armed with Taidao broke through the enemy formation as a commando, so Taidao is also called? Array too knife? But some people call it? Wild Taidao? .
It is said that the largest Taidao is 3.3m-3.5m (3.3m-3.5m) long. Warriors armed with heavy broadswords, charged ahead, unstoppable. Of course, only the strongest and best soldiers can master this huge weapon. They are very deadly. When sprinting, the warrior holds a broadsword against the enemy infantry and breaks through the defense line.
Although powerful, it is not easy to play with such a long and heavy knife. It needs enough strength to lift it, and it is not needed in a narrow space. Although it is said that this knife can cut off horses, there seems to be no record of anyone's success. See who can catch up with the cavalry faster and sprint with a pike. Often before the knife is raised, the cavalry's pike has been pierced. If you meet an archer, you'd better throw this thing away quickly, otherwise it will be too cumbersome. Therefore, this weapon can only be used when charging on the battlefield or against cavalry. In the non-war era, the wife's knife is a status symbol, but it can only be carried on the shoulder, not pinned to the waist like a mountain city.
Are you sure that the ancient Japanese could lift such a heavy knife?
