The bronze sword knife huge profits not only stimulate the Kan trade
However, the smuggling of converting ban. Ming and Qing Dynasties, Guangdong, the market had “orang-devils” selling Japanese knives, because this particular commercial port of Macao, the Japanese sword can be seen everywhere in Macau, of course, from Macao to the Mainland. In short, from the smuggling channels into Japanese bronze sword knife will not less, but we are unable to test knowing the number of fills. In the Ming Dynasty, the national weapons production organizations imitation Japanese bronze sword, knife, which as early as in too Zu Hongwu years began. According to the the Kiyonaga ‘continued Book of General Volume 131 “weapons” are set out Hongwu 13 years Sets the “Army Council”, the production of all types of knife in there, “Japanese hob” . The ritual books of old China minutely describe who was allowed to use what kinds of sacrificial bronze and how much.
Observed from the knife-shaped, it is easy to see that the Japanese sword to inherit and carry forward the advantages of the Han Dynasty ring sword, scales and weight are more conducive to the play of the killing. Shape since the Tang and Song heterogeneous heavy cutter body short weapons in China, compared to the Japanese knife regardless of appearance and practical value, are you sure you want to be much more clever. There are great dings among which are Simuwu Great Tripod that is China’s biggest piece of bronze. Ming Dynasty Japanese bronze sword knife poured into China, mainly through the following three ways.
First, the Ming court in the progress of the Japanese royal family and the business-to-offer into the offer of such a Ming Dynasty general has value “reward”, in essence, is a tributary trade. The early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang in view of the pirates intrusive and Hu Weiyong through Japan’s crimes, shall refuse to accept the party objects, the Japanese offer, and the implementation of the ban on maritime trade policy. This bronze was firstly resurrected from Wu family cypress graveyard, Houjia village of Yin Dynasty ruins in March 1939. According to the records of the Japanese ancient “good neighbors in mind national treasure”, in order to restore Japan-China trade, the Ming Emperor Jianwen three years sent a messenger to Fengbiao flak, and “offering objects”, including a bronze sword ten waist knife-edged “.
Third, the smuggling. The bronze sword knife huge profits not only stimulate the Kan trade, and will certainly stimulate the smuggling. The entire Ming Dynasty, in addition to the official control of the Kan trade between China and Japan, along the coast has been a large-scale smuggling trade, which is no home on the facts. Ming Dynasty Jinbing of law is very strict, a lot of private possession of weapons. The possession of a bronze stands for hierarchy system and authority in the ancient times. Especially Japanese bronze sword, knife, with its fine quality, “China’s multi-vend” have become a favorite collectibles, which can get a glimpse of the Ming Dynasty poetry Ode. You can believe that the bronze sword, knife also become one of the major commodities of the smuggling trade. Kanei, Japan, May (1634, Chong seven years), eleven years later, is strictly prohibited output weapons.
With particular reference to the edict of the Ming dynasty Zhebing “sword”. Then, when the first year of Yongle, the second offering party objects “, the number of knives was increased to one hundred. After the offering party objects knife almost became one of the most important items, knife varieties also increased. Height of this bronze sculpture is 133 cm, length 110 cm and weight 875 kg. Records to be investigated Xuande nine years, for example, a “contribution” sprinkle gold sheath knife too two, too black lacquer sheath knife One one hundred, one hundred handle long knives, a total of two hundred and two. Preserved Jingtai decade, the number of and fully integrated two records of 19 years, offer knives and Xuande the same nine years, two hundred and two is fixed.
