As we all know, the Stone Age was the earliest period when cold weapons appeared. People first polished stone tools into sharp tools for hunting or daily production. With the rise of bronzes in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, the era of making weapons from bronze came, and the smelting technology of bronze was more perfect. Stepmother Wu Ding and bronze sword are extremely mature technologies in later generations.
Finally, with the arrival of the Iron Age, weapons made after smelting iron became sharper, and bulky bronzes gradually developed into sacrificial utensils. Iron has replaced bronze as the mainstream of cold weapons because of its better quality and richer raw materials. The development of cold weapons is getting more and more sophisticated, and its lethality is getting bigger and bigger. One of them is of very high quality and is called the nemesis of the mountain city. How can it be powerful? Let people cut down three mountain cities with one knife.
Miao Dao is considered as the bane of mountain city. It also represents the advanced level of cold weapons in China. In the Western Han Dynasty, sword weapons played little role in fighting against Xiongnu, which led to the emergence of sword weapons, and then became an out-of-control substitute for sword weapons, making the sword gradually become a symbol representative, and some even became decorations.
Miao Dao is slender, exquisite in shape and exquisite in workmanship. The blade is made of high-quality steel, sharp and strong. Named after the shape of a rice seedling, it has a long blade and a long handle. You can cut it with both hands or with one hand. It is characterized by the combination of knife and gun, and it is powerful.
The main weapon in the Tang Dynasty was tangdao, which was also used as a military combat weapon. In the Ming Dynasty, Miao Dao was also widely used in coastal areas to fight against Japanese pirates because of the wanton invasion. The original Japanese Dao is longer and more powerful than the weapons we use, and Miao Dao is also made to restrain Japanese Dao. The back of the knife is wide and unstoppable, and the blade is thin but sharp as mud. It once set a dazzling record of cutting off three Japanese mountain cities with one knife, and even played a unique role in dealing with nomadic people on horseback.
In the Qing Dynasty, Miao Dao gradually withdrew from people's field of vision due to the lack of folk manufacturing. When Miao Dao communicated with the Japanese Wushu Troupe, he repeatedly defeated the mountain city of Japan with duets, which attracted the attention of Japan. Japanese kendo loses more and wins less, and Miao Dao's title of "Bushido nemesis" is spreading more and more widely. The biggest difference between it and Japanese Dao is that the curvature of the blade is small and it is close to a straight blade. Moreover, the handle of Miao Dao is very thick and long, which is about 1.2m- 1.6m all day.
