Fascinating, such an interesting weapon. Thanks for the historical aspects, as well as the uses. I do Filipino Escrima Double Blades so this is of great interest to me. Mahalo and Aloha.
Wow, I wasn’t expecting it to stick so well into the target! I assumed the side blade would “throw” the balance. (See what I did there.) Awesome episode!
I remember seeing an account from outside the noval that said Dong Zhou had thrown an axe (likely Ji) at Lu Bu for saying something. Lu Bu flet bad that he had flirted with one of Dong Zhou's maids and even after the axe was thrown at him he thought he was in the wrong and had took awhile to be convinced to betray Dong Zhou. Just goes to show he doesn't seem like greedy monster the book makes him out to be.
Quite an interesting and incredibly practical weapon. Im kinda surprised that other cultures in the ancient world, namely the Mesopotamians, Greeks, or Romans didn't come up with something similar.
If a weapon like that exists during the Han Dynasty, then it was acquired through trade? Did the polarm come from India or elsewhere in the Middle East? Red Hare Is a Greek Horse?
I am not sure if there was Western influence for the Ji, although it could be possible. Most signs point to the Ji being an evolution of the Ge, and the single bladed proved to be useful in a variety of ways.
I love this format combining weapons and history. Lends new perspective into the classic Three Kingdoms tales
Merci pour cette leçon d'histoire, Sifu! Vous êtes tellement passionné, que ça nous inspire!
Love these videos. Love weapons and the stories behind them. Thanks
Great video. Not very many people cover weapons of the Han Dynasty, so this is both entertaining and informational.
