Basic Introduction to Tangxi Sword
The casting of Tangxi Sword originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty and reached its peak during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Tangxi, a holy land for iron smelting and sword casting in China during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, belonged to Chu during the Spring and Autumn period and to Han during the Warring States period. In 2001, the Tangxi Sword Factory made another sprint towards a new peak by forging the “First Sword of China,” which was permanently collected by the Chinese Historical Museum.
Product Features
1. Rich Connotations
Without rich connotations, something is merely a concrete object or symbol that will never produce artistic appeal. The true value of an artwork is the perfect combination of visual beauty and connotation. Through different scenes on all parts of the blade, scabbard, decorations, stand, and box, Tangxi Sword not only embodies the spirit, grandeur, and charm of the Chinese dragon but also reflects the Tangxi culture and the psychological aspirations of the working people to seek blessings and subdue evil, rooted in the long history of Chinese iron smelting and sword casting. The coiling dragons on the box represent the close unity and rebellious spirit of the 56 ethnic groups in China. The patterns of taotie and bats on the scabbard and the head-shaped stand express the idea of rectifying and expelling evil. The dragon and phoenix patterns on the waist hoop convey the meaning of auspiciousness. People viewing such a sword will be moved by something that touches their hearts.
2. High-Quality Materials
Quality materials are essential for quality products. The Tangxi Sword Factory has strict procedures for purchasing raw materials. They do not accept anything that is not genuine or has defects. They prefer to buy genuine materials at a high price rather than inferior or fake materials at a low price. The material for the blade of the First Sword of China is high-quality high-carbon steel. The materials for the box and stand are imported precious and rare redwood, which is very expensive. All the fastening decorations are made of bronze through precise casting with copper and tin fusion. The gemstones inlaid on the handle are pure natural turquoise. The paint used for the swords is high-end imported paint costing more than 200 RMB per kilogram, which has strong adhesion and durability, making it resistant to falling off and fading from impacts and collisions, as well as being corrosion-resistant. The excellent materials and superb craftsmanship of Tangxi Swords ensure the vitality of the product and withstand the test of time and practice.
