中國刀劍
外觀
中國的刀劍類武器在傳統上可分為「刀」與「劍」兩個大類。其中「劍」通常為兩側對稱的雙刃式設計,主要的攻擊方式為刺/扎/截等,在英語中通常意譯作「longsword」;與之相對的,「刀」一般則是一邊開刃的單刃式設計,並且自宋代起刀身整體多為彎曲式,主要攻擊方式為劈/砍/切等,在英語中通常意譯作「saber」或「knife」。
中國的刀劍歷史最早可追溯至上古時代,最早的青銅劍於西周時期便已經出現,刀劍的材料在戰國時代後期開始改為使用更為耐操的鍛鐵與鋼材。而在現代,解放軍海軍的儀仗刀自2008年起開始仿照中國傳統刀劍的樣式而設計[1][2]。除蝴蝶雙刀等特殊武器之外,一般的中國刀劍在長度上通常都為70—110 cm(28—43英寸)左右,但一些情況下也會有超長的刀劍被使用[3]。
除了古代中國之外,日本古代也曾在公元3至6世紀期間使用過中國式刀劍,但後者在平安時代期間逐漸演化為了日本刀並隨之被其所最終取代[4]。
