The halberd is a unique weapon in ancient China. In fact, halberd is a combination of ge and spear. It has both a straight blade and a horizontal blade, which is in the shape of a "cross" or a "bow". Therefore, the halberd has many uses, such as hooking, pecking, stabbing and chopping, and its killing ability is better than that of a spear and a spear. The following is what I have arranged for you:
Ji, also known as "thorn" in ancient books. It is a combat weapon combined with Ge and spear, which has double functions of hooking and stabbing, and its lethality is stronger than Ge and spear. Ji appeared in Shang Dynasty and was also used in combat in Western Zhou Dynasty, but it was not common. By the Spring and Autumn Period, halberd had become one of the commonly used weapons. At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, 7 12 * * eleven years ago, when the State of Zheng gave soldiers before cutting Xu, it happened that all the children were pulled out from the thorns to test uncles. In 690 * * * years before Duke Zhuang of Lu, Chu cut with him, "How to be a teacher", which shows that Chu has been equipped with halberd soldiers. Later generations also had many famous military commanders with halberds, such as Dian Wei and Lu Bu.
The halberd is a weapon that can both stab and peck, which can obviously improve the combat efficiency. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" contains: "Ji, there are branches of soldiers." It is a weapon with spear spikes on the top of Ge coffin, and a few are the combination of Ge and Dao. The former is mostly, while the latter is only found in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Whether it is the combination of Ge Mao or Ge Dao, its form conforms to the characteristics of "having a branch soldier".
Historical records of halberd
In the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, the historical facts of using the halberd were also recorded in Zuo Zhuan: For example, in 607, two years ago, in the battle of Zheng cutting the Song Dynasty, "Zheng people entered the merger, * * * the Song Dynasty was crazy and cunning, and * * * the halberd came out" was evidence of using the halberd. Another example is the twenty-three years of Duke Xiang of Lu 550 years ago. Luan Ying's rebellion took place in the state of Jin. When john young and Luan Le fought, Luan Lebing's car overturned the crown, and john young's ranks "either hooked with halberds or died with their elbows broken", which proved that 8 Jin J was equipped with halberds. Another example is "Man Zi Chunqiu Internal Miscellaneous Notes", which records that after being killed, he hijacked General Qi and announced that "whoever dares not to join the League will be strangled by him". It shows that Qi also used halberds as weapons. However, the unearthed cultural relics show that the halberd was not a complete weapon in the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, the head and spear were cast separately and then assembled on a wooden bamboo pole. Also at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, in the countries of Chu, Sui, Wu and Cai in the Yangtze River valley, a kind of halberd with a handle of about 3 meters and two or three heads appeared, which was called "multinational * * * Ge * * * halberd". This halberd has a good cutting effect and is an important weapon in automobile warfare. Because halberd has better killing efficiency than Ge and spear, it was quickly popularized and applied. By the Warring States period, it had basically replaced Ge's position.
In ancient times, halberd was not only the main weapon in the army, but also often used as a general term for weapons, such as "halberd bearer", just like what we refer to today as "samurai", including all soldiers with guns and cannons. In addition, halberd often symbolizes the armed forces of a country by the number of its equipment. For example, in the Warring States Policy Zhao Ce, the military situation at that time was recorded and analyzed, and it was suggested to unite Zhao Kangqin. He said, "Chu is five thousand miles away, and it is worth millions." The so-called "raising a million halberds" shows that the Chu army was strong enough to unite with other countries to compete with Qin.
Besides "Ge", Ji is a unique ancient weapon in China. In fact, halberd is a combination of ge and spear. It has both a straight blade and a horizontal blade, which is in the shape of a "cross" or a "bow".

A brief history of halberd development
Ji was developed on the basis of Ge and spear. The earliest halberd discovered in China appeared in Shang Dynasty. Among the bronze weapons unearthed from the Shang Dynasty site in the west of Chengtai City, Hebei Province, there is a spear mounted on a wooden handle, which is the prototype of halberd. Because halberd is more advanced than spear and spear, it soon became a weapon for soldiers to fight. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, all-cast halberds appeared. One is the spear as the main body, with a horizontal blade on the side, and the * * * b * sound must be inserted in the poor * * * part of the spear body. This halberd highlights the advantages of spear. It is powerful to stab, but it is easy to turn around when hooked. The other is mainly kudzu, with auxiliary in front, tail inside, thorns on the top and whiskers on the bottom, showing a cross shape. This halberd is thin, brittle and easily broken, so it is not suitable for actual combat. It is mainly a decorative weapon for ritual purposes. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the halberd used in the battle still combined the divided ge and spear on the wooden handle or bamboo handle. This bronze halberd has strong straight stab and the horizontal hook is not easy to fall off. Some halberds still have two or three heads from top to bottom at the upper end of the long handle. For example, among the weapons unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Houyi in Sui County, Hubei Province, there is a well-preserved long-handled three-grid halberd. This greatly improves the killing ability of halberd. At the end of the Warring States period, the development of iron smelting technology gave birth to the cast steel halberd. At that time, the steel was tough and the cast halberd was sharp and slender. The halberd shape has also been improved, and the vertical extension of the lower side of the halberd has changed from broad and blunt to narrow and pointed; The internal cancellation corresponding to aid will only produce a lengthy nonsense. As a result, the halberd evolved from a cross to a bough, so it is called a bough-shaped iron halberd. After the Western Han Dynasty, the "assistance" of halberd changed from straight to upward bending, which further enhanced the lethality of the front stab. The halberd was a conventional weapon in the army at that time.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the types of halberds increased, including halberds, hand halberds and double halberds. The halberd handle is short and light, which can be stabbed and thrown. It is an effective self-defense weapon. Euphorbia halberd and halberd have long handles and great lethality.
Since the publication of Ji, it has been greatly appreciated by military strategists. After several changes and dust settled, as the main weapon in the army, it has left a record of being an enemy of the blood clan. Du Mu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote such a famous sentence: "If you break the halberd and sink the sand and stone, you will recognize the previous dynasty." Later, people used the word "sinking sand" to describe a heavy failure. There is also the word "halberd", which originally described halberd as ubiquitous and heavily guarded, and later extended to sinister and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Ji was highly valued in the eyes of the ancients, so it was very particular about casting, no less than the making of famous swords in the Warring States period. After the Jin dynasty, due to the increasingly sophisticated and solid armor, the utility of hook and peck weapons decreased. There is a description in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Lyu3 bu4 had a grudge against the commander Dong Zhuo and wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, so he took the opportunity to assassinate him with Su Li. On this day, "the evil Master Dong, wearing real armor and royal clothes, swaggered out slowly, boarded the bus and rode the horse, surrounded by soldiers, like a wall. ..... Don't see outstanding door, qu Zhun Zhuo's chest, holding a halberd straight, but Zhuo was wrapped in armor and lost his footing; Su hurriedly moved Zhuo's neck, Zhuo covered it with his arm, hurt his wrist, fell backwards and called where Lu Bu was. Cloth snapped behind his back and said, "There's a letter for the thief!" " Zhuo thundered, "How dare a mediocre dog do this?" Words haven't say that finish, BuJi has pierced the throat, Su Li took the previous knife again, the owl took the head. "Visible in front of the silver helmet armor, the lethality of halberd is greatly weakened, and spear weapons such as guns and spears can still show their talents, so guns gradually replaced halberd. By the Tang Dynasty, halberd had withdrawn from the ranks of military weapons, and became a ceremonial weapon indicating the rank of status, which was called "Xia Ji". At that time, the halberd was a ritual vessel for the officials of the imperial court to show their identity, and it was placed at the front door to show their identity; The emperor sent envoys to patrol or send troops to fight, and gave him "a halberd instead of an axe" to show his authority. There were detailed regulations on the tree halberd in the Tang Dynasty, and the tree halberd was a physical symbol of the feudal hierarchy.
The halberd is one of the ancient weapons, which was created after the bow and arrow. Its shape is similar to that of Ge, and it has two horizontal blades. The old saying goes straight, somehow. Different from Ge's, the auxiliary is slightly convex and inclined, and the inner side also has a blade. In the homes of ancient dignitaries, halberds were erected at the door to show official honor, but weapons were also used as ceremonial ceremonies. Later, the form changed slightly. Between the auxiliary and the coffin, a beam is placed, and the auxiliary is turned into a crescent, and the inside of the horizontal blade is transformed into a straight-edged spear head. A beam is placed on the coffin, and both sides are made into a half-moon shape, which is called a painting halberd; There are also ancient iron coins or ingots under the beam. I don't know what they are for. Is it amazing for future generations, even weapons are decorated? However, the halberds seen in today's weapons are all in the form of halberds painted by Tian Fang, with single or double blades. For the ancient halberd, you can't see it, just try to figure out its shape to show the master of martial arts, or stare at it without calling its name, so you rarely lament the loss of ancient artifacts and methods. I don't know when to start the variation of Ji, but later I abandoned the ancient artifacts. In this respect, I dare say we have something in common, but I can also start a new stove. Why should I borrow Ji as my name? If the two devices are similar, there is still something to say. Today, these two things are different and have no similarities. They cannot be used together. The author doesn't have to be singular, but he can't do as the Romans do, and he can't agree. Record them in turn, even if the person is not me, it will be counted; The world's martial arts are high and strong, and they may not blindly follow their ears.
