A series of famous swords cast by Ou Yezi shine brilliantly in the history of China, even in novels and stories. Among them, the most famous are three iron swords (Long Yuan, Ron Artest and Lu Bu). There are five bronze swords, which are called "Five Swords" in history, "Big Punishment Three, Small Punishment Two" (one is Zhan Lu, one is pure hook, three is conquering evil, four is fish intestines, and five is unique). I searched the information, rearranged and edited the following contents, and shared them with friends who like this kind of knowledge as much as I do. I hope you like it. Welcome to communicate, point out mistakes and make up for deficiencies.

He was chased all the way by the soldiers and horses of Chu, and one day he was chased to the bank of the Yangtze River. When there was no escape, he recruited a "fisherman" to rescue him. Wu Zixu thanked his father-in-law for his kindness and asked him not to reveal his whereabouts. My father-in-law said, "I only saved you because you are a loyal country, and you don't want to repay him." Now, you still suspect that I am greedy for interests and lack trust, so I will use this sword to show my nobility. " Say that finish, horizontal sword commit suicide. Wu Zixu inexplicably regretted it. (Excerpted from Wu Yue Chun Qiu). )
Remarks: In order to commemorate the birth of Longyuan Sword, the King of Chu named the lake produced by this sword "Jianchi Lake". In the Tang Dynasty, in order to commemorate Longyuan Sword, the county where Longyuan Sword was produced was named "Long Yuan County", but the name of Gaozu Li Yuan was taboo, so it was renamed "Longquan". Longquan County got its name from this, and Longyuan Sword was renamed as "Longquan Sword" from now on, making it more famous in the world.

When Chu was about to break the city, the king of Chu had no choice but to draw his own sword to meet the enemy. Suddenly, the shock wave blaster, flying sand and stones, covered the sky, as if there were wild animals roaring in it. After a while, 8 jin j was wiped out by banners and servants. )

Casting Sword: Ou Yezi
Masters: (Yun Chang, Gou Jian), (He Lv, Fu Cha), Wang, Xue, Yue Fei.
Story: It is said that Zhan Lu's sword is spiritual, and only saints accompany it, and the sword is in the country. If you are incompetent, your sword will fly, and if you lose your country, you will die. According to legend, after the defeat of Yue, Zhan was forced to give it to Wu, and Fu Cha, the king of Wu, threw away his sword and appeared at the king's pillow, and Chu prospered from then on.
Remarks: 1 is often mentioned in poems of past dynasties because of its special attributes of the sage America. For example, Du Fu wrote in "Out of Qutang Gorge for three years in Dali, staying in Kuifu for a long time, and adapting to Jiangling" that "courtiers are all subdued, and the king oppresses Zhan Lu."
According to the records, the people of Yue often begged Ou Yezi to build and live in Yue. Theoretically, when the State of Yue was defeated, it should be given to Fu Cha, the king of Wu by Gou Jian. However, it is hard to understand that many materials say that He Lu, the father of Fuxi, once owned this sword.

Casting Sword: Ou Yezi

Story: My son has just prepared a banquet for Wu Wangliao. At that time, Wu Wangliao wore triple armor, asked soldiers to protect Chen Dao, and asked servants to protect him with blades. When drinking freely, the son pretended that there was something wrong with his feet and went into the basement, asking Zhu An to put the fish intestine sword in the belly of the grilled fish to offer fish. Just as Wu Wangliao was paying attention to the delicious smell of grilled fish, Zhuan Xu suddenly pulled out the fish intestine sword and stabbed Wu Wangliao. Soldiers and guards blocked it with weapons, and the fish-gut sword cut off the weapon, which went through Wu Wangliao's three-layer armor and went straight through its back. Wu Wangliao broke his chest and bones, and then the son came to power and became He Lv, the king of Wu. (Excerpted from Wu Yue Chun Qiu and Historical Records? Biography of assassins)
Remarks: 1 Because Zhuan Xu once learned how to cook fish near Taihu Lake, later generations regarded him as the "father of chefs". In the old days, residents in the city often went to burn incense to pay homage. Now the famous dish "Sweet and Sour Fish" in Suzhou and Hangzhou is referred to as "Sweet and Sour Yellow River Carp", which is the inheritance and representative of "all fried fish" (once called "all fried fish"). Its inventor is the person who taught Zhuan Xu to cook fish, and the famous chef Tai Gong (or Tai Hu Gong) in the Spring and Autumn Period.
He Lv, the prince of Wu, also married Lu. Ji's surname, Mingguang, is the son of the sons of the Prince of Wu, so it is also called "Gongziguang". At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the monarch of Wu reigned from 5 14 BC to 496 BC. He is a famous strategist and one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Giant Que Sword (also known as "Giant Que Sword")
Attribute: unknown (personally, it should be a "sword" because it is said to be the sharpest of the five swords. )
Length: The blade is three feet long, the handle is seven inches long and the blade is about five inches wide (weighing about five pounds).
Material: copper and tin
Appearance: dull and heavy.
Casting Sword: Ou Yezi
Masters: He Lv and Gou Jian.
Story: Legend has it that when the sparrow-gathering sword was just taking shape, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was sitting on the exposed altar when he suddenly saw a carriage out of control in the palace and rushed straight over, scaring the white deer raised in the palace. So Gou Jian, the king of Yue, pulled out the giant queer sword that Ou had just cast and aimed it at the runaway carriage, hoping to order the warriors to stop it. But as soon as the sword was drawn, the firm but gentle hand cut the carriage into two parts. Then Gou Jian, the king of Yue, ordered someone to bring a big copper pot. With this sword, he poked a big gap in the pot, as effortless as cutting rice cakes. Zucker got his name.
Remarks: It is said in 1 that when the Juque sword was made, a sacred iron was left for forging, so Ou Yezi made a dagger "Longlin" with this sacred iron. This dagger was later used by the imperial court. Because it is too sharp, it was used in the most cruel death penalty in ancient times.
Gou Jian, the King of Yue, should have written "Sentence Jian". In ancient times, there was no word "hook", but the word "sentence" was used to communicate. The Historical Records published by Ganlong in Wuying Temple misquoted the improper supervision edition of Ming Dynasty and wrote it as "Gou Jian", which caused many mistakes in later generations and led to the accumulation of mistakes in modern times.
My comments
Which is greater than conquering evil or greatness?
The so-called "three severe punishments and two minor punishments" means three broadswords and two small swords. Zhan Lu and Chunjun are big swords, and the fish intestines are small swords. There is no objection to this, but there is some controversy about who is the biggest and who is the smallest in overcoming evil and absolute lack. Except Suzaku Sword, the other four swords have no specific size.
Usually, according to the order of data records, the first three are considered as "severe punishment three" and the last two are "minor punishment two". Then the evil sword is big and the giant sword is small. However, some people think that, according to the recorded dimensions, the Juque sword "the blade is three feet long, the handle is seven inches long, the blade is about five inches wide and weighs about five pounds" is not small, and it should be a big sword with the word "giant" in its name. At the same time, it is indeed recorded that the sword to defeat evil is a small sword, and the giant que sword is a big sword.
However, I think that according to the ancient ruler, the length of the three-foot-three-handle giant que sword is seven inches, and the total length of three-foot-ten inches (one foot equals twelve inches in ancient law) is not a very long size. Don't forget how many people were said to be "eight feet" tall in ancient times, which is equivalent to 1.83 meters now. Moreover, in ancient times, "long sword" usually refers to the special sword used in real-time combat, so it is less than one meter long. Of course, this size is not short, especially during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but whether it is a big sword depends on who you compare with. However, except for the Juque sword, the other four swords are not recorded in the data. However, just because of the word "giant" in the name, it is not true that the giant sword is a big sword. The origin of the name of the giant sword has been mentioned before. The word "que" means "lack", and the giant que obviously refers to the gap in the copper pot. At the same time, according to the recorded order, the first three are "severe punishment three" and the last two are "minor punishment two", which is not entirely true. Personally, I think this order is only the order of the sword array, and it doesn't represent anything else (not to mention the NB ranking of the five swords). According to the name of the sword, Ou Yezi should not cast the sword very long ... although this reason is far-fetched. Generally speaking, I prefer to conquer evil as a small sword, and take Jueque as a big sword.
On the Relationship between Ou Yezi and General and Mo Xie.
Ou Yezi and Ganjiang are sword-casting masters of the same era. There are many kinds of relationships between them, which can be roughly divided into the following types (Ganjiang and Mo Xie are husband and wife):
1 friendship;
2 mentoring relationship;
Ou Yezi is the father of Mo Xie, the husband of the general and the master of both;
4 it doesn't matter;
About the famous sword collector
In ancient times, the sword was a symbol of a respected person, and countless emperors would have a special liking for it, including many famous sword fans. According to records, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, He Lv, the king of Wu, was the most famous one in hide the sword. He once owned famous swords such as Ganjiang, Mo Xie, Green, Xie Sheng, Suzaku, Yuchang and Zhan Lu, and Gou Jian, the King of Yue, also owned famous swords such as Micao, Suzaku, Chunjun and Zhan Lu. Of course, personally, I think there is another person who can't be ignored, and that is Ying Zheng, the king of Qin. Although there are not many clear records (only Tai Ai Jian and published Jian were found), it is speculated that after Ying Zheng destroyed the Six Kingdoms, these treasures should have fallen into his hands if they were not lost.
