Making bronze swords during the Western Zhou Dynasty was an important cultural relic of ancient civilization. Ancient swordsmanship was famous all over the world and was a representative ancient craft. As an important military weapon, swordsmanship has been continuously transformed and developed, and has been increasingly perfected, and combined with boxing routines, producing a variety of martial arts and sword routines.

　　1. Eight methods of swordsmanship

　　Tai Chi sword song says: "Sword techniques have never been easy to spread, and they are like dragons when traveling around. If you chop like a knife, you will laugh to death the old sword immortal in Sanfeng. Because sword techniques have never been easy to pass on, few people know that there are nine-mouth and eight methods of swords.

　　Eight methods are the eight basic methods of swordsmanship, and they are also derived from the eight methods of swordsmanship. That is, the swordsmanship has developed more than 20 times to date (see Article 26 of the 1979 Martial Arts Competition Rules).

　　2. Swords have nine-mouth

　　The swordsmanship know nine-mouth is easy to learn the application of swordsmanship. Accurate point. The sword has two guillotines (the sword is one edge and two edges), two chopping mouths, two wiping mouths, two guillotines, and two guillotines, and one sting mouth has a total of nine guillotines (see the figure). The guillotine - in comparison, this section is the thickest, widest and most familiar, and is closest to the hand grip. Mechanically speaking, it can withstand force or force. If you use the two swords to cross it, it is like the power of a guillotine. This mouth is mainly used to mount the enemy's weapons. The guillotine - the guillotine is second to the guillotine, but the speed is faster than the guillotine when chopping. This section is the velocity of the guillotine when chopping, and is the factor of the center of gravity. The best point is that this mouth is suitable for chopping and slashing during martial arts, and can also be used to parry enemy weapons, and can play an important offensive and defensive role. The mouth is mainly used to scratch the enemy's body when chasing the enemy or being pursued by the enemy. The mouth is sharp and easy to use, mainly used to stab all parts of the enemy's body. It is the most commonly used mouth among the nine mouths.

　　The use of sword robe

　　Sword robe, commonly known as sword robe, evolved from the ancient "sword reins". In ancient times, spears were used to fight immediately, for example. For melee combat, short weapons such as swords and swords are often hung on the wrist with leather ropes. This rope is called "Sword Rein". The sword spear is also called "Sword Robe". The function of the sword spear is generally regarded as a beautiful ornament, and it is also a symbol of the level in ancient times (the sword spears were distinguished by color in ancient times). The sword spears are divided into lengths. Short spears are used to decorate beauty with few uses, and the exquisiteness of the long spears lies in their application. In fact, it is a tough silk soft weapon, which can hide hidden weapons such as seven-star nails and small hooks to enhance the power of actual combat. The sword robe is used. There are techniques such as spitting, rolling, throwing, pulling, pulling, pulling, shaking, and breaking. Now the function of the sword robe is a matching object for sword dance. Its artistic shape that increases beauty can occupy an important position in the study and improvement of sword techniques.

　　IV. The use of sword techniques

　　Sword fingers were called "Sword technique" and "halberd fingers". The shape of the hand is that the index finger and middle finger are stretched together, and the fingertips are naturally squinted towards the back of the hand. The other three fingers are bent to the palm of the hand, and the three fingers and palms are tried to support them as much as possible. In sword techniques, generally commonly used sword fingering techniques are used in sword techniques. There are five types, namely "front finger", "sword", "side finger", "side finger" and "support finger".

　　Tai Chi sword has a clear offensive and defensive meaning, and the use of sword finger is the same. Its main function is: l. Attack the opponent. For example, the "front finger" of the sword finger in "support finger" and "support finger" is to click and poke the opponent's relevant acupoints and important parts, and use the sword finger to faint the opponent's eyes to disrupt the opponent's eyes. 2. The finger and finger are used to assist in the momentum. For example, the "support finger" in "support finger" is to click and poke the opponent's relevant acupoints and important parts, and use the sword finger to visce the opponent's eyes. 2. The finger and finger are used to assist in the momentum. "The "fing finger" in the undercut of the lunge makes the sword finger and the sword holder work together to stab it, increasing the strength of the stab, and more effectively fighting the opponent. 3. Speak east and attack the west, and take the finger down. For example, "virtual step downward" is the most typical action of upper finger downward. Use the sword point to move upward, but in fact, you must intercept downward. One virtual and one real tempt the opponent. 4. Coordinate balance. For example, the running route and side finger of the sword point in "Point the foot" play a role in stabilizing the center of gravity of the body, coordinate the body movements, and increase the click effect. 5. Beautiful and happy. The use of sword fingers in the right and left cloud wiping" and "Progressive Sword Strike" significantly improves the performance skills and artistic charm of the action, and achieves the effect of fitness and pleasure. 6. Leading the strength. For example, in the movements of "Left Void Step" and "Right Bow Step", it will play the role of leading the sword hand to run to the predetermined position.

　　Only after we have basically understood the sword itself, the martial arts method, the running route and function of the sword finger, the strength can be achieved properly, and the strength can be achieved smoothly, reaching the ideal state of fitness, pleasure, relaxing meridians, smooth qi and blood, curing diseases and strengthening the body, and prolonging life.
