The Art of Casting Sword in Ancient China
The art of casting swords in ancient China developed significantly as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period BC. Sword plays an important role in the war, not only as a weapon, but also as a symbol, representing courage and dignity. In the process of construction, the first thing is to choose materials. Traditional knives are made of various metal materials, such as cast iron, copper and steel. Iron and steel are usually used to make blades, while copper is used to decorate handles. When selecting materials, we should consider the purpose and style of the knife, as well as the hardness and toughness of the material, especially forging and quenching.
Forging is to heat the metal to an appropriate temperature, and then hammer it into solid blades; Quenching is to quickly cool the knife at high temperature, so that its surface produces a brittle and hard blade. This process requires craftsmen's exquisite skills and rich experience to ensure the quality and strength of the sword. The next step is polishing, that is, polishing the surface of the sword to achieve a good appearance. Craftsmen can use gravel, abrasives, etc. Make the surface of the sword look smooth and bright.
