How powerful was the ancient organ art in China?
When it comes to organ art, the first thing that comes to mind is Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and crossbow, which can shoot 10.

If "Martial Arts of Wuhou" is an introductory work to let the public know about martial arts, then the more magical Mohist martial arts is officially registered in the martial arts temple.

As the representative of ancient China's scientific and technological level, Mohist thought has appeared in all aspects of work, life and military action. It is the result of ancient people's in-depth study and thinking about nature that things are controlled by machinery to achieve the expected effect by connecting the relationships between things.

Another impression that organ art brings to everyone is that it is also used for guarding tombs.

Such as a chain capture plate. Many of them are difficult to prevent. ?

Especially the bed crossbow, which first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was widely used in the Han Dynasty. Later, it was greatly improved in the Song Dynasty, and a heavy long-distance bed crossbow composed of compound bows was invented. The range can reach 120 to 130 steps. You can use it to hunt enemy generals. Sometimes the ancients also used it to attack the city. By firing heavy arrows at enemy city walls, our soldiers can rely on these heavy arrows to climb up the city walls when attacking the city.

In addition to military use, the ancients also applied it to anti-theft. Because the custom of thick burial has a long history in our country, princes and ministers of past dynasties spared no expense to build their own tombs and underground palaces, which also gave birth to many grave-robbing schools. In order to prevent their tombs from being invaded by grave robbers, ancient people used organ technology in tombs and set up various defense organs. According to research, crossbow is the most widely used mechanism technology. According to historical records, Qin Shihuang once set crossbows in the mausoleum to guard against grave robbers.

Ancient people also used ancient weapons to attack cities? Graptor used the lever principle to throw stones and hit the enemy.

And the ladder invented by the legendary master Lu Ban.

Ladders belong to the standard war equipment in ancient wars. The ladder is equipped with protective cover, grapple hook, hook, rope and pulley block lifting device. If you attack the city with ladders and crossbows, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

After reading the crystallization of these ancient wisdom, I have to admire their exquisite design and mysterious principles. The ancient science and technology in China is a human treasure that can make our descendants proud.
