According to the legend of heroes in Sui and Tang Dynasties, the general came out to fight, and his weapon was at least 50 Jin, so he was embarrassed to take a lighter one. Modern people in the gym, people who use 50 kilograms of dumbbells are so sporadic, not to mention waving 50 kilograms of weapons and fighting on the battlefield.
Then the problem is coming. On the battlefield, the generals waved their weapons, walked in clouds, and cut through thorns. Did ancient generals really have such divine power? According to records, Wang Guan's Qinglong crescent moon blade weighs 82 Jin! Up to now, some thin women weigh just so much.
Let's look at the weight of these weapons from the chronicle. Sima Qian, a famous historian, recorded in the official history "Historical Records Leaving the Hou Family" that he recruited soldiers in Dongyi and recruited a mighty man. Because of her infinite strength, she was given a hammer weighing 120 Jin, and told to ambush in Bolangsha to assassinate the king of Qin.
There is also a record in the "History of the Three Kingdoms of Dian Wei", "A strong man has a gentleman under his account, a pair of halberds on his back, and 80 pounds." Both weapons weigh tens of kilograms, and Chad can't help feeling the strength of a strong man. So many material records, including men who use heavy weapons, will certainly be convincing, but it is not.
In ancient times, the unit of measurement of weight was different, and it was originally used to weigh grain. During the Warring States Period 1 bell = 10 pot, 1 pot = zone 4, 1 zone = 4 beans, 1 bean = 4 liters. Qin, 1 = 10, 1 = 10 liter. Later, the weight of weapons, metric: 1 kg = 10 Liang = 100 money = 5 grams. City system: 1 gold = 16 Liang = 160 Qian. In ancient times, there was an idiom "half a catty and eight taels", which meant neck and neck.
In this way, Wang Guan's broadsword weighs about 5 1 kg. This weight is also quite powerful, but it is acceptable. The ancients trained for a long time, and some people can really reach this level. Wang Guan is tall and powerful. It is not difficult to kill the enemy on the battlefield with 5 1 kg weapons and some skills.
For ordinary people, ancient farming was unconditional human farming, and with military training, people who could arrange for the front line were outstanding, and they were all big shots with a tiger's back and a general's belly, so it was understandable that weapons weighing 100 kilograms frequently appeared on the battlefield!
