- Early Chinese Dynasties made many great strides in metallurgy and were able to produce weapons of fine quality first in bronze and later in iron and steel.
Chinese military weapons included the hammer, hook, axe, trident-halberd and military fork. The spear, as old as china itself, is credited as being the first weapon ever devised. In China, it was originally intended for use by cavalry.
- The Terracotta Warriors show that even as early as the Qin Dynasty highly advanced metallurgical techniques were in common practice. They have offered a wealth of information about the type of cast weapon forging in practice at the time.
Chinese weapons are considered by many to be the origin of all oriental weaponry. China has a rich and colorful martial history including the monks of Shaolin, who learnt to use almost anything as a weapon.
