Later, they both fell in love with the teacher's daughter - Junior Sister Moye.
The two did not want to hurt the friendship between their fellow students, so they agreed to forge swords to determine the outcome, and the loser would give up the pursuit of their junior sister.
The "Qian Chang Duan" of yours is the work completed by Gan Jiang; and the one made by Ou Yezi is the "District" in my hand.
Legend has it that Ou Yezi was too focused on forging the sword and spent a lot of effort. When the sword was completed, he vomited blood and fainted.
Because the sword was sacrificed with painstaking efforts when it was released, the sword will faintly glow with blood under strong light.
But because the blood color is so thin, it seems to be the color of peach blossoms.
This sword has changed owners several times. Men think it is unmasculine, and women avoid the evil reputation of drinking blood.
Therefore, such a rare treasure has been hidden in the box without anyone using it, so its name cannot be found."
"So magical? I heard that this 'Ou Li' sword is even more mysterious."
The girl in green robe rolled her eyes at the young man, "The quality of the sword is actually meaningless. The referee of this competition is Mo Xie, and she chose the sword in your hand. Therefore, the general went out and settled here with the famous sword beauty.
The sword-making technology was also spread to the Central Plains."
"Settling here?"
"Yes, this is the boundary of the ancient Han Kingdom, and the generals are from the Han family."
Qingyun took his sword and responded casually, "The sword-making technology is passed down internally, which is a great merit. It's also thanks to that girl Moye."
The young girl snorted, her eyes flashing coldly, "Good thing? During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, this place was originally the territory of the Yue people, and there was the Kuang clan country.
With the expansion of power in the Central Plains, the Yin people repeatedly attacked Huaiyue and Yangyue, and the Kuang Kingdom was also annihilated by the King of Yin.
After the King of Zhou destroyed Yin, he enfeoffed this place to the clan surnamed Ji and established the Han Kingdom.
At first, the Zhou people were wary of the large number of local Yue people who were good at making swords, and they took some care of them in terms of policies and taxation.
However, since Qianjiang stole the sword-making skills of the Yue people, the Zhou people also began to use force to wipe out the descendants of the Kuang state.
All Yue people who hid iron weapons secretly were killed, and those who refused to be conscripted were expelled.
Therefore, I don’t know how many Kuang people were buried in the underground, so it got the name of Guangling.”
These histories were never valued by Zhongyuan Confucius, so Qingyun naturally had no way of knowing them.
At this time, he was listening deeply, and the narrator had such a soft and delicate voice, so he did not interrupt, or even consider why the conversation between the two suddenly jumped into such a heavy historical topic.
Hu Caiting's eyes were fixed in the distance, as if he was trying to recall the stories repeatedly told by the elders of his tribe when he was young, "But the people of Yue are strong and strong, and they have not succumbed to it.
The Yue people who were lucky enough to survive gathered together, elected their leader and called themselves King Guang, and launched a crazy revenge against the Han family.
The Han clan was frequently assassinated and almost extinct, and was eventually forced to negotiate with the Yue people.
The Han people promised to pass on the irrigation technology of the Zhou people to the Yue people and help them move south to Lingnan. Because the two big kingdoms of the Yue people, Dayue and Daluo, were successively captured by Chu, the Kuang people had no choice but to face reality and accept the conditions.
Although the country of Han gained some respite after the peace talks, its national power was ultimately greatly reduced and it became an insignificant force between Wu and Chu.
However, the name of King Guangling of Guangling originated from this and was passed down among the Yangyue clans who were unwilling to leave their homeland.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Jiang family, one of the twelve surviving members of the Panhu family, the ancestor of the Yue people, succeeded the last King of Guang.
However, as Sun Quan's policy of civilizing the mountain barbarians and attracting the Vietnamese people gradually began to bear fruit, more and more Yue people gave up their obsession.
The so-called reputation of King Guang has gradually become a legend.
King Qin Guang, the head of the first palace of Yama in the ten halls that people respect today, is the incarnation of King Guang of the last Jiang clan."
When Qingyun heard this, he couldn't help but slap his thigh, "Oh, it turns out that Lord Qin Guang has such an origin. This is the first time I've heard of it." After a pause, he asked hesitantly, "But
Why is Senior Sister so familiar with this history?"
Hu Caiting felt that he was a bit out of his element and the topic had gone too far.
But seeing the sincerity of Qingyun's question and his pitiful appearance of asking for the truth, she replied sternly, "The people of Yue respect the Panhu family as their ancestors, and my surname is one of the twelve direct descendants of the Panhu family.
Nowadays, people from Central Plains sometimes write this surname as Pu, which takes the meaning of the word.
Our ancestors continued to move southward due to the expansion of the Central Plains people, moving from Huaiyang to Bashu and Lingnan.
Our ancestors could not adapt to the miasma of snakes and insects in Lingnan, so like most Yue people, they went to sea to find another world."
The word "sea" had an unparalleled power to shock people of that era.
It represents an unconquerable force, a foreign world where mythical beasts and immortals hide.
Qingyun couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sister Hu came by boat from overseas?"
Hu Cai Pavilion shook her head slightly, letting the gentle wind comb her teeth, and talked eloquently.
"That's not true. The ancestors of the Yue people were indeed good at sailing.
Tracing back from the north of the sea to the corner of the North Sea, it is the land of Korea mentioned in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". It was the country of Jizi after the fall of the Yin Dynasty.
Jizi's Yin Shang fiefdom was originally adjacent to Han, so he collectively called the surrounding tribes and Yi kingdoms Han to commemorate his hometown.
Taking the Han River as the boundary, the left side of the river is the Jizi Kingdom, and the right side of the river is the Sanhan Land.
The country of Panhu, whose original name was Daluo, was attacked by the Shang and Zhou dynasties and scattered across the barbarians.
Although my people moved far away to Benhan, they never forgot their original intention, and the territory under their jurisdiction is still called Panluo Kingdom.
(Author's case: "Hanshu" is written as Banluguo, also transliterated)
Later, the Central Plains returned to the Han Dynasty, and the Han army attacked the Han River and changed the name of Han River to Han River. The three Koreas had contacts with the Central Plains again.
Therefore, some tribesmen moved to Yandi to do business in herbal medicine and fur.
My parents were born in Guan Nei and moved south to Luojing with the capital of Wei.
This time I go south, I am returning to the homeland of my ancestors."
Listening to the girls chatting all over the place, Qingyun felt sad and said bitterly, "Senior sister is very knowledgeable. It's not like me who has been living in seclusion here with my uncle since I was a child, and I don't know that there is such a world outside."
Hu Caiting shook his head slightly, with a little elder-like kindness in his eyes, "It's not that I have extensive knowledge. It's just that these stories have been passed down from generation to generation among our tribe to express our longing for our homeland. However, to celebrate
Junior brother, a tall and dignified man like me, should go out and explore the world."
The young man's face turned red when he heard this, and he hesitated for a long time, "I, I promised Uncle Chen. I can't travel far without his permission, especially..."
"What in particular?"
"Especially in the north. As long as you learn the sword from him, you will never be able to set foot in Wei soil for the rest of your life."
Caiting snorted impatiently, "This is the outdated promise of that pedantic uncle. At this moment, the uncle himself was already on the way north. If you also want to go out to see the north, you might as well come with us.
Past."
"How is that possible? Uncle Chen said that he would never go to the north again. Moreover, he was still teaching me how to learn swords this morning." The boy's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, and there were words written all over his face.
incredible.
"Then why don't you go and see for yourself?" When he said this, Hu Caiting had a playful look on his face, and his eyebrows were curved in a perfect arc and danced gracefully, as if the willow threads in the sky were moving with the wind, and the wind and smoke were flying thousands of miles away.
.
Everything in the world seems to have gradually faded away with the wind and smoke, disappearing into the sky, leaving only a few simple strokes and a few dots of vermilion, depicting a touching touch, printed on the goose egg as smooth as jade, and branded on the heart of the ignorant young man here.
Some women really can't laugh.
forgetful smile,
Or a whole city,
Or overwhelm a country.

Unconsciously, it stirred up the world.

According to the setting of this article, the two swords Qian Chang Duan and Qu Li were cast in the Spring and Autumn Period. So could these two swords be iron swords?
Traditional Western historical views believe that ancient China entered the Iron Age about a thousand years later than the Near East.
In the millennium from 2500 to 1500 BC, meteorite daggers appeared in the Near East. In the mainstream Western view, this cannot be used as evidence of the ability to smelt iron, and therefore cannot be regarded as a sign of entering the Iron Age. The same exists in China
Similar to meteorite artifacts, but slightly later in age.
In the millennium from 1500 to 500 BC, dozens of crude iron tools have been unearthed in the Near East. According to our country’s archaeological achievements in recent years, cast iron bars from 1500 BC have also been discovered (Gansu Lin
Tanmogou site), as well as carbon steel swords from the Spring and Autumn Period. There are even iron swords inlaid with iron jade (the tomb of Guo State in the Western Zhou Dynasty in Sanmenxia). In fact, the technical level is at least not lower than that in the Near East, but the number of pieces found is smaller. In
The Zhou swords recorded in "Ancient and Modern Swords and Swords" include both bronze swords and iron swords. In Western research, because they do not have a decent written history, they also reject all written history, and most of these artifacts are not mentioned.
However, since the late Spring and Autumn Period, iron weapons have been forged in China, which is a fact that has been corroborated by physical objects. As for written records, they are everywhere. The Eastern Han Dynasty classic "Wuyue Spring and Autumn" states: "The generals who make swords collect materials from the five mountains."
Tie Jing. "Jueyue Shu" says: Ou Yezi, the generals chiseled Cishan, drained the stream, took Tie Ying, and made three iron swords. One is Longyuan, the second is Tai'a, and the third is Gongbu. This shows the setting of this article.
The two men's first work was an iron sword, which did not destroy the historical framework.
Let’s go back to the history of the development of iron as defined by the West. The period after 500 BC is considered by “mainstream” scholarship to be the Late Iron Age in the Near East, and China has also begun to enter the Iron Age. The Chinese army still used a large number of bronze weapons in the early Han Dynasty.
, this has also been cited by Western scholars as evidence to criticize the late development of China's iron casting technology.
In fact, there are several important reasons for this:
