ps. Here is today’s update. By the way, I’ll pull a ticket for the “Starting Point” 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 tickets, and the voting will also send starting coins. I beg everyone for your support and appreciation!
Onimaru Kunigang, the famous thing Dadenta, Sanriyuezongjin, Shuzhumaru Hangji and Tongzi Chie Angang, these are the five famous swords in the world that were judged by the Japanese themselves!
And the first one that appeared in front of Jin Muchen was the Sanriyuezongjin, one of the five famous swords in the world!
The position of this sword in the history of Japanese swords is not at all inferior to the chrysanthemum character Zongze that Jin Muchen had already obtained, and the pear ground luotian gold decorative sword that had just been obtained before.
The chrysanthemum one word sect and the pear ground luotian gold decorative sword, these two swords are more decorative than practical, and they are also some Japanese swords with higher symbolic meaning.
The Sanriyuezongjin is one of the pioneering masterpieces of the practical Japanese sword. The production of this sword is very long, the specific time should be from the end of the 11th century to the beginning of the 12th century in the Heian era.
It was the production of swords in Japan at that time. From the shape of the Tang sword, the originator of the later Japanese sword shape was derived.
If the pear ground luotian gold decorative sword is a representative of the transformation and production of Japanese decorative swords, then this Sanriyuezongjin is a representative work of the transformation of the practical school of Japanese swords.
And if we talk about the status of the rivers and lakes, the status of this sword, and the pear ground luotian gold decorative sword, have always been debated.
Although the pear ground luotian gold decorative sword was not rated as one of the top five famous swords in Japan.
But after all, that is an ornamental device. You must know that in antiques, all ornamental devices are more valuable than practical ones.
What’s more, the workmanship of the sword is so exquisite? And its fame, until the 8th year of Yonglu, was far higher than that of this Sanriyuezong.
But in the eyes of those craftsmen in Japan. The fame of this Sanriyuezongjin is much greater than that of the pear ground luotian gold decorative sword, because in the eyes of those who cast weapons. A knife is a weapon that kills, so a weapon that can kill. Of course, it is much more valuable than that fancy ornamental sword.
So about the status of these two treasured swords of the same age, which is higher and lower, in the Japanese sword industry, there has been endless debate and no conclusion.
If this Three Sun Moon Sect was produced, it is actually much earlier than the pear ground luotian gold decorative sword, at least it was born more than ten or twenty years earlier than that sword.
But why, in the annals of history, that pear ground luotian gold decorative sword. Would it be called a representative of the transformation of Japanese swords, not this sword?
The reason is very simple, but it is because this sword has been in a state of no name at the beginning of its birth, because most of the swords used by Japanese samurai at that time were straight swords derived from the Tang sword.
And this sword with the arc of the later Japanese sword, in the eyes of those samurai, is completely different, so not many people are willing to use this sword, so the reputation of this sword has not been very big.
In addition, the Japanese swordsmiths at that time were not a noble profession. Even the name of the swordsmith has no inscription records in history.
So the name of the maker of this knife, even now. People couldn’t figure it out either.
When this knife was first made, the original name should have been called Santiao Zongjin. According to the rules at the time, these three Zongjin should be the name of the craftsman who cast this treasure island.
But there is still a lot of debate about this point. The only thing Japanese archaeologists can be sure of is that the last two characters of the name of the craftsman who cast the knife were called Zongjin.
But the first three items are not the surname of this Zong Jin. Not sure yet.
Because the swordsmiths of that era belonged to the lowly profession. Unlike the later Japanese sword boom era, famous swordsmiths. Not only can you leave your name on the knife, or you can name the treasure knife you made at will, you can even leave your name in the history.
At the end of the eleventh century, swordsmiths were not even a profession at all, they were only classified as a special group of blacksmiths.
Therefore, many Japanese historians believe that this treasured sword, originally named Sanjo Zongjin, was actually forged at a smelter called Sanjo near Kyoto at that time, and the master of the sword was called Zongjin. It was named Sanjo Sojin.
There are just a few doubts that are being debated in the Japanese archaeological circle.
And after these three sects were forged at that time, they have been kept in the arsenal in Kyoto. Later, after entering the Kamakura period, the Ashikaga family became the shogun of the shogunate, and this sword became the collection of the Ashikaga shogun’s family.
Later, after this style of Japanese swords became popular in Japan, the Ashikaga family remembered that there was another Japanese sword made hundreds of years ago in their arsenal, so they put this one. The sword was found, and it became the favorite of the generals of the Ashikaga family.
And the reason why this sword is famous in Japan is still in the 8th year of Yonglu, that is, 1565 AD. At that time, the Kamakura shogunate had reached its end and was very unpopular.
At that time, a Japanese samurai, Matsunaga Hideyoshi, united the three of Miyoshi to assassinate the shogun of the shogunate at that time.
They successfully ambushed and attacked the general Ashikaga Yoshiki at the Nijo Imperial Palace. This is the famous change of Yonglu in Japanese history.
And the shogun of the shogunate at that time, Ashikaga Yoshiki, was wielding this Sanriyuezongjin and fought bravely against those assassins. Of course, although this general was very brave, he was a good tiger and was no match for a pack of wolves. In the end, he still failed to escape the bad luck, and finally was beheaded.
And this Sanriyuezongjin, after the war, became a trophy and passed it to Miyoshi Masayasu, one of the ten Sanada warriors who participated in the assassination.
Afterwards, Miyoshi Masayasu gave this knife to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and it became the possession of Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s high-level office.
Later, the sword was donated to Tokugawa Hidetada, the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and was collected by the Tokugawa Shogun’s family.
It was also after the change of Yonglu that this Sanriyuezongjin began to truly become famous all over the world. Later, after research, people realized that, oh, it turned out to be hundreds of years before the Japanese sword that is more popular than it is now. , our ancestors have been able to make such Japanese swords!
Therefore, this knife’s status in the Japanese knives, especially the practical Japanese knives, has become aloof.
And really speaking of the quality of this Japanese knife, it is actually far inferior to the fine products that were cast after the Japanese knives of later generations were truly formed.
Because this knife does not have all the chrysanthemum patterns on the Japanese knives, the reason for this is also because the quenching technology was insufficient and immature when this knife was cast.
Therefore, the swordsmith at that time, Zong Jin used the crescent moon pattern to make the sword, and in the processing of the knife pattern, he also mostly used the parallel line-like double-blade forging technique.
Therefore, although this knife has a detached status, in terms of quality, it is definitely not as good as the Japanese knives that have been quenched and refined in later generations.
Jin Muchen had already collected two famous ornamental knives in Japanese history before, but now he has finally picked up a famous utility knife, which is also one of the five famous swords in the world rated by the Japanese himself, which makes Jin Muchen feel Very satisfied.
Putting away the treasured sword, Jin Muchen continued to walk backwards, because the famous Japanese swords collected in the Tokyo National Museum are far more than these two.
Behind this Sanriyuezongjin is another one of the five famous swords in the world judged by the Japanese himself: the boy is Qie Angang!
Among the five famous swords in the world assessed by the Japanese themselves, today in this museum, I can actually see two of the five swords, which is considered a great luck.
You must know that when I came here the day before yesterday, this knife hadn’t been taken out for exhibition. At that time, Jin Muchen felt quite regretful.
Unexpectedly, it will be taken out today, and it will be taken out and exhibited together with the three-sun and moon sect near double swords.
This is really lucky. You must know that the five famous swords in Japan are all famous swords in Japan.
Even if the Tokyo National Museum is powerful and financially strong, it has only found two of the five treasured swords.
The other three, among them Onimaru Kunizuna, don’t need to think too much. This sword is now in the collection of the Japanese imperial family, and you can’t see it even if you want to see it.
In addition, the grand ceremony Tai Guangshi is now in the collection of the Maeda Yude Club in Japan. Usually, it is also not easy to show people, even if you want to see it, you can’t see it.
The third one, Shuzhumaru Heji, is now in the collection of the Honxing Temple in Amagasaki, and it is also listed as a ‘heavy treasure’ by the temple. It is also easy not to show it to others. Even if you are rich, ordinary people are not necessarily It can be seen that unless it is those famous Japanese dignitaries~www.readmtl.com~ or royal relatives, they will only be able to see what the treasured sword looks like.
Therefore, these three Sun Moon Zongjin, and the boy Chi Angang, can be said to be among the five famous swords in Japan, and one of the few treasured swords that ordinary people can often see.
Because these two knives are collected by the Tokyo National Museum, they are often displayed on display, but the Tokyo National Museum is also very ghostly.
These two famous knives are generally not displayed at the same time, but only one of them is displayed at different times in rotation.
You want to see two treasured knives at the same time and display them at the same time.
However, such an experience has been rare since the two knives were collected in the Tokyo National Museum. So far, the number of times these two knives have been displayed on the same stage has only been less than ten times.
