LK Chen Scarlet Sunrise Jian - What to Expect - History

https://lkchensword.com/scarlet-sunrise
In this video, we look at the elegant and refined Scarlet Sunrise Jian by LK Chen. It is based on the design of Jian found in the Jin Dynasty (266-420 AD) just after the fall of the Han Dyansty. It also represents the end of the first Jian era, when the Dao took over the battlefield. It wouldn't be for another 1000 years that the Jian would again appear on the battlefield in the Song Dynasty. This sword is extremely light and hosts a number of ornate decorations and fittings, the Chi-Long (Hornless Dragon) on the belt slide, the bird on the guard, and the Tao-Tie on the pommel and chape. There are two versions of this sword available, the original long jian, and the compact jian which is the length of modern martial arts jian.
