Mace is a very common weapon in major martial arts novels, and the person who uses it, if male, may be a stout man like Zhang Fei in his mind, and if female, it is a vicious character like a dragon. This may be the "credit" of Mr. Jin Yong. Who let him write in The Legend of the Condor Heroes: Mace is heavy, and you can't use it freely unless your arm is strong. Only the military officers and generals of the Nomads are happy to use them, and the Jin people grew up in the bitter and cold land of Liaodong, and they are strong. .......

What you think may be like this

But in fact?

Mace is indeed a weapon, which is true, but it will fall into the boat from the outside compared with the big ring knife dancing like a tiger. Although it still gives people a sharp feeling, it really doesn't give people a feeling that a powerful soldier picks it up and waves it.

? This is an ancient mace, which is said to have been improved in the Ming Dynasty.

In Wu Jing Zong Yao written by Ceng Gongliang in the Song Dynasty, mace was introduced in this way: it is made of hard and heavy wood, four or five feet long ... It is planted on the ground, and if it is an ear, it is called mace. This proves that this is not a big iron bar of cast iron as people think, but obviously a wooden bar with many nails!

So it may be like this in the Song Dynasty.

Its main lethality is used as a strike weapon. It defeated the weak body of the enemy in actual combat. For example, it happens that the enemy's head is unguarded or weak, and sometimes he will take the opportunity to bump the other horse into a concussion, leading to madness and even the death of the knight!

Knowing the above, when we see the weapons in the TV series again, it seems that a general can carry a tripod and wave a mace. We already know what a real mace is, so we won't be deceived by TV series again.
