Description
The Jian, basically, is a double-edged sword, with a thin and extremely sharp blade. In contrast to the machete, which was made to cut, the straight sword has as its main characteristic a great piercing capacity.
The first bladed weapons appeared in periods before the Shang-商朝 Dynasty, used for defense against bandits. It was in the Warring States period that swords gained prominence, becoming the most common weapons of that period.
Currently, several martial arts, both internal and external styles, use the straight sword. Its use is so common in Taijiquan-太极拳 schools that it became known as “Taijijian“-太极剑 (Taiji sword).
Jian often appears in martial arts novels (Wuxia-武侠). The techniques used, real or supernatural, tend to be important plot elements.
Many Taoist immortals are associated with this weapon.
