Dedicated to those who love history, culture, and science!" Friendly reminder: The book box has some damage, please be cautious if you are concerned! This book is the first personal collection of Chinese bronze weapons. Many of the essays are based on presentations at several famous universities abroad. The book contains numerous rare and unique bronze weapons, including the Yue King Sword, with over 300 color illustrations, making it a unique version. This book introduces the concept of "Bronze Weaponology" for the first time and proposes many questions that require further research. History moves forward, and technology is always evolving. This book clarifies that "bronze weapons originate from stone weapons and pave the way for iron weapons." It discusses the origins of bronze casting, the spread of bronze weapons across different regions and methods, and their influence on modern and contemporary technology. Based on physical specimens of bronze weapons from various regions and categories, it proves that Chinese civilization is multi-source, multi-current, and interweaving. Without bronze weapons, our history cannot open the door to civilization; without an understanding of bronze weapons, our understanding of history will be incomplete. Bronze weapons not only witness history but are also witnessed by history. Bronze will always accompany human civilization. The author has two purposes: one is to share the joy of appreciating ancient weapon art with readers, and the other is to lay the groundwork, hoping that the tragedy of "the Dunhuang script originating from China but Dunhuangology being developed abroad" will not repeat itself.
