Li Feng was quite surprised that Little Doudou was tapping with style, full of charm and particular timing. "Little Doudou, what are you doing?" Little Doudou pouted his mouth and gestured with his little finger. "
Doudou fights with a knife, grandpa said, Doudou is an adult and can fight with such a big knife."
Xiao Luo Dou gestured like a two-inch mark. No wonder it was such a small piece of iron. As he spoke, Xiao Dou Dou touched his pocket and took out a miniature dagger. It was a little over an inch and very sharp. Xiao Dou Dou swung it hard and it was very accurate.
Nailed it on the wooden board opposite, Li Feng took a step forward and penetrated the wood. Unexpectedly, little Doudou had such a skill. Li Feng looked at it with a raised little face, looking like a little grandpa, hurry up and praise Little Luo Dou
He looked so amused. "Dou Dou, you are so awesome, even better than my little grandpa."
Sure enough, little Doudou was very happy and giggled. "Grandpa, grandpa, little grandpa also praised Doudou for being so good. Grandpa will teach Doudou how to practice swordsmanship, okay?" Doudou pestered Wang Meng for a while, twisting his little butt to act coquettishly, Wang Meng
He knelt down and touched little Loli Dou's little head. "Grandpa will teach you when Doudou is older. Quickly strike hard and make a knife. Grandpa will teach you how to strike."
"Oh, grandpa promised me." Xiao Doudou ran back to his small workbench and started to light a fire and fetch water. The set of small tools was really neat. Li Feng looked at it very interesting. Wang Meng tidied up the blacksmith shop, and there was nothing
I forgot to greet Li Feng. "Haha, these were used by my father when he took me to blacksmith when I was a child. I originally wanted to take my grandson with me, but this kid didn't want to. I didn't expect that this girl Doudou liked it very much. It was Doudou who made the little dagger just now.
"
Li Feng did not expect that a child over four years old could actually produce a sharp dagger. Although it was only more than an inch long, Li Feng just saw a layer of folding lines on the surface of the knife, at least hundreds of folds. Could this be done by a child?
Of course Wang Meng noticed the change in Li Feng's expression and smiled. "I was on the side and gave some guidance. You didn't know it at the time. Originally, my old man was firmly opposed to me teaching Doudou to learn our Wang family's blacksmithing skills. But after watching Doudou fight,
After getting this folding knife, the old man said nothing. It’s just that Dou Dou is a girl. It would be better if he was a boy."
"Haha, Brother Wang, that's not right. What's the difference between boys and girls? Today's society is not the same. Men and women are equal. Let me tell you, it's too late to be happy that Brother Wang has a successor. There's no need to worry." Li Feng looked at it carefully and waved his small hand.
The little Doudou of Iron Hammer was a little shocked. Although the folding knife is not a top-notch knife, at least it is much better than the ordinary knives on the market. Especially it is so small, it is not easy to hold. A four and a half year old child can actually make it. No wonder Wang Meng
My father no longer objected. This was a genius who could only be seen in a century. In the past, he would have been a person who had the hope of becoming a sword master. This kind of talent cannot be used just by wanting it. Although hard work is important, the part possessed by talent is not as big as that of talent.
Less effort.
"I sometimes thought that as long as this craft can be passed down, my son will not learn it, and my grandson will not learn it. Now I focus on teaching my granddaughter. My dad sometimes gives me some pointers. You don't know that there are many old men in my family who have never touched a hammer.
, but after seeing Dou Dou wielding a knife, the old man was moved. From time to time, he told Dou Dou sword stories and made inheritance. The little girl learned very quickly." Wang Meng looked proud. Although the village was not envious, the inheritance of this skill was very important.
Having a talented successor is the biggest wish of most craftsmen.
"That's right. My hands are itchy after watching Dou Dou do it. Brother Wang, let me give it a try." Li Feng has become very interested in making swords since he last fought with a kitchen knife. Wang Meng saw Li Feng's face full of excitement.
, thinking that Li Feng was not only the benefactor of Wang Dawei and the Wang family, but also the key to the prosperity of Dawang Village from outside. How could Wang Meng disagree, he lit the fire, pulled the bellows, prepared iron blocks, and pulled up the big and small bellows together.
Li Feng changed into Wang Meng's work clothes and tried the hammer in his hand. It was not light. "Here it comes, brother, let's start." Wang Meng placed the red-hot iron block on the iron plate. Li Feng talked about the hammer hitting the iron very professionally.
On the block, Wang Meng was very surprised. "I didn't expect that my brother is so secretive that he is better than many people."
"Where, use your strength." The two of them were striking iron while talking about the history of the development of swords, especially the Tang Dynasty, the most famous Tang sword, the ancestor of the Miao sword, and the predecessor of the Japanese samurai sword. "Speaking of which, little one
The Japs are quite powerful. The Tang Sword was lost after the Song Dynasty. I didn’t expect it to develop so well among the Japs, and now it has become one of the three most famous swords in the world." Li Feng sighed with emotion, and Wang Meng said. "Speaking of Tang Swords, I have one in my family.
The sword was passed down from our ancestors, and each generation made mostly imitations of the Tang sword. Unfortunately, the Tang sword is not as famous as the Little Devil Katana today. In real comparison, it is normal for the Tang sword to cut off the Samurai sword."
This is true. Speaking of it, the historical origin of the Tang sword and the samurai sword has a lot to do with the region. The reason why the Tang sword is called the Tang sword means that it appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and basically it only appeared in the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was lost from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. The Japanese sword came from the Tang sword. The Tang sword and the samurai sword each have their own advantages. If two swords cut each other, the katana sword will definitely be broken. But this does not mean that
The katana sword is worse than the Tang sword.
Weapons are used for fighting, and in fighting, especially in wars, soldiers wear armor. At that time, China during the Tang Dynasty was the center of the world, and faced many powerful characters. Most of the enemy's armies were made of metal armor.
If metal armor only pursues sharpness, it does not have enough hardness and is impractical. As an island country with a shortage of materials, Japan's armor is mostly leather armor, and armor is not even used. The blades are basically used to cut directly.
Because it is on the meat, the hardness of the blade is reduced, and it can be as sharp as possible.
When Tang swords and katana swords were fighting, Tang swords were completely victorious. There is no doubt about this. As for many people saying that the difference between Tang swords and katana swords is really not that big. The katana swords were born out of Tang swords and were introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty. Although most people
The katana swords and Tang swords we know are different. For example, the Katana sword is a lucky star, and the Tang sword is a straight sword. In fact, there are also curved blades in Tang swords, and there are also straight swords in Katana swords. From the appearance, they can be distinguished.
Objectively speaking, the difference between the two is the blade. The Tang sword's blade area only accounts for one-quarter of the blade, which is like an axe, which enhances the power of cutting. The katana sword's blade area accounts for one-half of the blade, although its power is not as good as that of the Tang sword.
But it's also sharper.
The Japanese samurai sword was inherited from the Tang sword. The original Japanese sword was actually the same as the Tang sword. Later, it evolved continuously in actual combat and became the current Japanese sword. In addition to the emphasis on the sword, there are also differences with the Japanese sword.
It has a lot to do with the samurai spirit of Japan. In Japan, except for samurai, no one is qualified to own a Japanese sword. It has become a status symbol, so the Japanese sword is also called a samurai sword.
Most of the samurai are nobles, or they are the servants of the nobility. They become like the sword in the hands of knights in our martial arts novels. It is a symbol of status and a symbol of master. It is also combined with the bushido preached by Japan and becomes a samurai.
Although it is a symbol, although it is expensive and rare, it will never lose the market of Japanese swords, and as a craftsman who makes Japanese swords, it also has a high social status. On the contrary, among the Tang knives in China, the Mo sword is the dominant one.
War weapons, horizontal swords and barrier swords are weapons for guards and ordinary soldiers.
It was for armaments, and armaments have a lot to do with national strength. In Chinese history, basically only the Tang Dynasty had such strength and equipped the army with such sophisticated weapons.
Just like the current military weapons of the United States, they cannot afford it without such an economic foundation. Therefore, after the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty used guns, axes, and axes instead of swords in the army, and axes and axes were used for chopping.
The Mo Dao, which has no power output, is cheaper and simpler to build than the Mo Dao. So far, no one has paid attention to the Tang Dao, and the Tang Dao has completely disappeared in the long river of history.
So at this point, because Tang Dao has not been passed down, it has also lost the opportunity to gradually improve and exert influence in the inheritance. Nowadays, most of the information about Tang Dao is obtained from some historical records, which has also led to the current common understanding.
The Tang sword is slightly inferior to the Japanese sword!
Li Feng didn't know much about these histories. He only saw everything from books and materials. As a saying goes, if there are too many essences, no essence may be left in the end. China has too much culture, but there are too many cultures and too many inheritances, and people are inert.
, there is choice, inheritance and development, some have no development, no one pays attention to them, and are eventually eliminated. Looking back, I find that neighboring countries have inherited and developed and regretted it. In fact, there is no need.
Li Feng and Wang Meng discussed for a long time. Li Feng didn't know much about the Tang Dao, but he didn't know much about the Mo Dao, a weapon that can be used as a horse-breaking sword. "Brother Li, the Mo Dao is too long.
It's too bulky, the entire blade is too long, and it weighs over fifty kilograms, so it's rare for most people to wield it."
"No wonder they were eliminated. No wonder who, haha, is just talking." Li Feng looked at the iron and saw that it was almost ready. "Brother Wang, I wonder what kind of knife can be made with this iron?" "A short Tang Dao is enough.
Already."
Wang Meng looked at it and nodded. Wang Meng wanted to give Li Feng a Tang Dao. He just took this opportunity, but he couldn't do it in a short time. Fortunately, he still had a few Tang Dao at home. "I really want to see it." Li Feng was still interested in inheriting skills.
I respect him very much, but I don’t want to make things difficult for Wang Meng.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a simple process. I wish my brother could stay for a few more days if he has time." Wang Meng put the beaten iron block into the furnace and burned it. He beat it again and again to remove the impurities, but it was not a success in one go.
Li Feng watched Wang Meng clean up, then sat down to take a rest and observe how Doudou was doing with the small iron block. "Hey, Doudou, is this a knife?" Doudou's small iron block had taken shape, and the little girl was hammering it seriously.
, Xiaoliang Danni was flushed, and her forehead was covered with small beads of sweat.
"Well, Dou Dou makes a knife." Dou Dou looked proud. The small knife took shape and he put it into the cold water that he had prepared earlier. There was a hiss and a white mist came out. But Li Feng was confused and Dou Dou put the shaped knife into the furnace again.
It's really strange to be in the fire. (To be continued...)
