1, the types and functions of weapons are different.
In fencing in China, the so-called sword goes sideways, that is, fencing uses agile and fast irregular arcs, and the main attack is a fatal stab. Because most swords are made and used with one hand, they don't have chopping ability, but if used properly, they can easily kill the enemy, because the depth of penetration is easy to make people die of internal bleeding.
Although the Japanese also call it a sword, it is actually more appropriate to use a knife, because its design prototype comes from tangdao, China, and it is a straight knife. Because of the manufacturing process, the cooling technology used in Japanese manufacturing process makes the blade have a natural curvature, rather than artificial construction;
Therefore, his main function is no longer stabbing, but chopping. Because of the radian and the grip with both hands, he is powerful, but the disadvantage is that he is not sensitive enough and flexible enough.
3. Different ways to hold the sword.
The most obvious difference between China fencing and Japanese fencing is that China fencing holds a sword with one hand, while Japanese fencing holds a sword with both hands. The other is the difference between schools.
2. Different historical and cultural backgrounds.
China's swordsmanship came into play during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (770 BC-22 BC1year). At that time, positional warfare was won by the art of war, that is, strategically superior to others, with both wisdom and courage. This strategic thinking permeates individual fencing, which is closely related to China's traditional cultural background.
China's traditional philosophy does not worship the strong, but his moral concept is to support the weak. This is reflected in the fencing at that time, relying on intelligence rather than strength, relying on wit rather than courage, and the weak are better than the strong. At that time, there were many examples of battles in which the few defeated the many and the weak defeated the strong. Individual training is flexible, so weapons and armor are relatively light. Cheating with more soldiers; Fencing is changeable.
Japanese culture developed late. In the Middle Ages of Japan (from the end of12nd century to16th century), samurai culture and Zen thought appeared. The History of Japanese Culture (edited by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 1987 edition) describes Zen and samurai culture, and writes: "After the civil war in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the strength of the samurai class was greatly strengthened, and it began to innovate and made its own contribution to the culture mainly of the nobility.
