| Chinese Wushu has a long history,and swordsmanship is a large amount of traditional Chinese Wushu.In recent years,Mr.Yu chenghui’s “drunken sword” has entered people’s vision in the form of film and television performances,and the two-handed sword with magnificent momentum and tight "routine" is gradually familiar to people.“Two-handed sword”now refers to the method of holding a sword with two hands,while "long-handled sword" with obvious shape different from single-handed sword existed in different historical periods in ancient China,which is a short instrument obviously different from ordinary sword.From being a battlefield weapon,it is favored by emperors and princes,to being a representative of national status and military strength.The development of two-handed sword in the long history has popular,and swordsmanship has thus been able to spread and develop.However,with the development of The Times and the changes of war,two-handed sword is because of the large cost and high requirements for the casting sword process,such a long sword gradually not in the historical torrent.Although a few two-handed swordsmanship techniques have been handed down in some Wushu genre,such as mantis sword and qingping sword,etc,however,these swordsmanship are bound by the boxing of their respective denominations,which makes the world’s understanding of the sword of two-hands sword superficial and the understanding of its history more vague.Since its evolution,the two-handed sword has been forgotten or even denied by the world,resulting in the treasure of this country being buried in the folk.Two-handed sword exists in the world no matter its instruments or techniques,and its system is relatively perfect.Based on the perspective of inheritance,experts and scholars urgently need to carry out a systematic study of it and excavate its historical context.This study mainly uses the literature method,the historical research method,the social investigation method,the interview method,the logic analysis method to dig and sort out the historical origin of two-handed sword.The author interviews current two-handed sword practitioners,enthusiasts and some professionals to master thecurrent development status and problems of two-handed sword.Under the guidance of the historical research method,the writer collect the relatively primitive,scientific and intuitive literature historical materials,such as the written records of swords in different periods and the frescoes of imperial tombs unearthed by archaeologists,portraits and stones(bricks),and determine the classification and evolution of long and long knives and swords in ancient times.Face-to-face interviews were conducted with experts in the fields of Chinese Wushu history,sword history and two-handed sword method to obtain expert opinions and support.The social investigation method is used to carry out field investigation on the existing representative swordsmanship of the hands,and to collect relatively objective and truthful information.Finally,logical analysis method is used to comprehensively analyze the materials,expert opinions and relevant historical materials obtained from the social survey,so as to eliminate the coarse and extract the essence and discard the false and retain the true.According to the historical evolution of characteristics the two-handed sword.this paper divides its historical origin into five aspects: the origin of the two-handed sword,the perfection of the two-handed sword system and functions,the fusion of the two-handed sword and the two-handed sword,the advent of the two-handed sword spectrum,and the beginning and inheritance of the two-handed sword routine.The research conclusions are as follows:(1)According to archaeological studies,two-handed sword originated in the Chu dynasty during the Warring States Period.The symbol is: a long sword with120 cm body and 30 cm hilt unearthed in Qianping and Gezhouba(warring states Chu tomb)in 1971.(2)Through mural paintings,stone reliefs and archaeological excavations in the middle of the Han dynasty,it was found that the corpses of emperors and ministers were decorated with steel two-handed sword with jade fittings and sword heads on both sides.From this inference,the two-hands sword in the middle of the Han Dynasty began to have a sword head,accessories relatively complete,and has begun to be used for wear.(3)The stone reliefs,emperor mausoleum in the late Han Dynasty and the related written records show that the two-handed sword follows the feature of two-handed sword with long hilt,straight body,straight blade and double-edged blade,and the wearing function.It can be seen that the two-handed sword and the two-handed knive began to gradually merge in the late Han Dynasty.(4)In the early Ming Dynasty,there appeared the first ancient two-handed sword spectrum in China—“Potential method of Korean two-handed sword”.Among them,the technical characteristics and basic grip of the ancient two-handed swordsmanship are clearly recorded.(5)Two-handed sword set appeared in the late Ming Dynasties and early Qing Dynasties and evolved to this day on the basis of the inheritance form of the folk Wushu genre.For example,the Mantis sword and Qingping Sword,which were founded in the early Qing Dynasty,have retained their hands swordsmanship to varying degrees. |
