Pure Jun sword, also known as pure hook sword. Copper-tin alloy is a noble and unparalleled sword. According to legend, it was cast by Ou Yezi, a Vietnamese during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The Legend of Chunjun Sword

In the Spring and Autumn Period, on a sunny afternoon, after years of hard work, he finally defeated the King of Yue Gou Jian. After Wu woke up, sweet Taking a nap and feeling very Jennifer. After drinking a pot of fine Longjing tea, Gou Jian sent people down to look for interested people. This person is Xue Zhu. Xue Zhu, a native of Qin, was traveling in Vietnam at this time. Although Xue Zhu is very young, he is already famous in other countries and is known as the first Xiangjian master in the world.

After a while, Xue Zhu came and was taken to the spacious outdoor terrace. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, liked swords. This platform is several feet high and is very impressive. It is specially used to look at swords and appreciate knives. After sitting down, Gou Jian glanced at Xue Zhu beside him, thinking that although this young man was young, he could read countless swords, and it was difficult for ordinary swords to enter his eyes. So, as soon as Gou Jian opened his mouth, he asked his men to bring two very proud swords: Cao Hao and Ju Jue. I don't know. Xue Zhu looked at it quickly and said casually: Both swords have shortcomings. Cao Hao's brilliance is fading, and the texture of the giant scorpion is getting thicker and thicker, so it cannot be regarded as a sword. Then he yawned lazily in the warm sunshine.

Gou Jian was surprised and ashamed. He thought for a while, gritted his teeth, leaned into the ear of a valet, and gave a few instructions. After a while, the attendants led hundreds of real warriors to escort a sword to the audience.

Xue Zhu was amused and asked: What kind of sword did the king bring? Gou Jian was a little unhappy with Xue Zhu's attitude. He uttered two words in one breath: pure and equal. He heard a bang, and fell down from his seat. The golden hairpin fell to the ground with a bunch of hair, and a long hair hung down. His face suddenly froze and dulled. . For a long time, I was awakened. I saw several Zongyue tiptoeing down the steps, coming to the sword, bowing deeply, then arranging their clothes solemnly, taking the sword from the waiter, and knocking it carefully a few times. Slowly pull the sword out of its sheath. I saw a group of bright flowers blooming from the water like hibiscus, elegant and clear. The carvings on the hilt shone like stars. The blade and the sun merged together like clear water, overflowing the pond calmly and slowly, while the blade stood high, like a cliff standing thousands of feet high... After a long time, Xue Zhu said with a trembling voice Asked: Is this Junjun? ! Gou Jian nodded. Yes, he said proudly. Someone wanted to exchange thousands of horses, three wealthy towns, and two large cities for the sword. Do you agree? Xue Zhu quickly said: You can't change it. Gou Jian pretended to frown and asked: Why? What you said is true. Xue Zhu shouted excitedly: Because this sword is a masterpiece of the unity of heaven and man.

In order to cast this sword, tin erupted from the Millennium Hongpan Mountain, the Ruoye River dried up, and copper came out. When the sword was forged, Thunder God struck the iron, Yu Niang poured water on it, Xiao Long held the stove, and Tian Di loaded the charcoal. Ou Yezi, the master swordsmith, took the fate of heaven and worked hard with the gods to make swords and sharpen them for ten years. After the sword was completed, the gods returned to heaven, and Chishan was closed as before. If Jiang Botao comes back, Ou Yezi will also die of fatigue. The sword became a swan song. What is the horse market in this area like... Gou Jian nodded with satisfaction: It makes sense to say it is a priceless treasure, so I will cherish it forever. . This story can be found in the book Yue Jue.

Manufacturing process

In order to solve the eternal mystery of Goujian Sword, in December 1977, experts from the Electrostatic Accelerator Laboratory of Fudan University in Shanghai and the activation analysis group of Shanghai Institute of Nuclear Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Scholars from the Chinese Metallurgical History Compilation Group of the Beijing Iron and Steel Institute conducted non-destructive scientific inspections of the Wang Yue Goujian sword using the proton X-fluorescence unreal space analysis method, and obtained an accurate data table of the bronze alloy distribution ratio of the sword body. The main components of Wang Yue Goujian's sword are copper, tin and a small amount of bronze alloy composed of aluminum, iron, nickel and sulfur. The black diamond pattern of the cutter body is vulcanized, and the precision grinding technology level of the blade is comparable to products produced by modern precision grinders. Different parts of the sword have different functions, so the proportions of copper and tin are different.

The ridge contains more copper, which makes the sword very tough and not easy to break; the bronze alloy of the Goujian sword has a high tin content and high hardness, making the sword very sharp; the pattern contains high sulfur, so the copper sulfide It prevents corrosion and keeps the pattern bright.

Through further research, it was discovered that the reason why the sword of Yue King Goujian could remain rustless for thousands of years was because the sword was plated with chromium-containing metal. As we all know, chromium is a rare metal that is extremely resistant to corrosion, and the content of chromium in earth rocks is very low, making it difficult to extract. In addition, chromium is a high-temperature resistant metal with a melting point of approximately 1857°C.

In addition, when King Goujian of Yue was unearthed, he was tightly inserted into a black painted wooden sheath. Under the protection of the sheath, he was in a neutral soil layer with low oxygen content; its environment was basically It is isolated from the outside world, which is also an important reason why it does not rust.

This kind of Wang Yue sword is undoubtedly a treasure among Chinese bronze daggers, both in terms of shape and material. Chinese civilization has too many secrets, and modern scientific inventions appeared more than 2,400 years ago. Although we cannot but admire them, we must admire the wisdom of our ancestors.

Archaeological Discovery

During the Five Hegemons period of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Gou Jian of Yue defeated King Fu Cha of Wu, and staged the last act of hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period in history. The passage of time has made this thrilling war sleep quietly in the long history, and busy descendants have almost forgotten it.

However, in 1965, when an archaeological team was excavating ancient tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period, they unexpectedly discovered a long sword covered with mud. On the sword was a line of ancient seal characters - Gou Jian himself jumped into the people with his sword. eyes. The sword was drawn out, giving off a dazzling cold light, and was not rusty. The blade was thin and sharp, and more than 20 layers of paper were scratched. The total length of the sword is 55.6 cm, of which 45.6 cm are long and 5 cm wide. The sword body is decorated with a black diamond geometric pattern, and the front and back of the sword are inlaid with blue glass and turquoise respectively. The hilt of the sword is tied with silk thread, and the sword head becomes a hoop with 11 extremely thin concentric circles cast inside. Based on the description in historical books, this sword may be the legendary Chunjun sword, but for the sake of caution, researchers call it Goujian sword. This important archaeological discovery immediately caused a sensation across the country, but the even more sensational news came from the scientific research report on Gu Jian. The first thing that caught the researchers' attention was: why did this ancient sword not rust after being buried for more than two thousand years? Why is the weather still so cold and freezing?
