中国刀剑

中国的刀剑类武器在传统上可分为“刀”与“剑”两个大类。其中“剑”通常为两侧对称的双刃式设计，主要的攻击方式为刺/扎/截等，在英语中通常意译作“longsword”；与之相对的，“刀”一般则是一边开刃的单刃式设计，并且自宋代起刀身整体多为弯曲式，主要攻击方式为劈/砍/切等，在英语中通常意译作“saber”或“knife”。 中国的刀剑历史最早可追溯至上古时代，最早的青铜剑于西周时期便已经出现，刀剑的材料在战国时代后期开始改为使用更为耐操的锻铁与钢材。而在现代，解放军海军的仪仗刀自2008年起开始仿照中国传统刀剑的样式而设计。除蝴蝶雙刀等特殊武器之外，一般的中国刀剑在长度上通常都为70—110 cm（28—43英寸）左右，但一些情况下也会有超长的刀剑被使用。 除了古代中国之外，日本古代也曾在公元3至6世纪期间使用过中国式刀剑，但后者在平安时代期间逐渐演化为了日本刀并随之被其所最终取代。 中国剑术 中国甲冑 中国攻城武器 日本刀 印度刀剑 朝鲜刀剑 Chinese naval academy graduates receive swords.
