Chapter 67 15. Han Sword and Tang Dao

After afternoon tea, I took a stroll to caress my belly. I walked past No. 300 Hennessy Road and passed a knife and scissors shop.It is an old shop, which I remember when I went to Hong Kong 50 years ago and took a tram to tour Hong Kong Island.The shop specializes in selling household knives and scissors. In recent years, I have become interested in cooking. Various kitchen knives have also been included in my interest. Eyelids, I took a closer look, it was at the door, I didn’t pay attention when I came in, in the glass cabinet, there was an ancient sword on display, the scabbard was rustic and patterned, the hilt was very long, the whole sword was majestic and elegant, strong and soft, uncommon.

I loved reading martial arts novels since I was a child, and I loved swords and weapons. When I was in elementary school, I was bored in class, so I drew various swords and weapons in the blank spaces of the textbook. Once I drew them in the workbook, I was severely punished. This hobby was very useful for writing martial arts novels and scripts for martial arts movies later on. I came up with a lot of weird weapons, which was very enjoyable. Therefore, after having a study room, the main decoration is the handle of the Longquan sword hanging on the wall. The sword is also a sheath with two swords. I gave it to Wen Ruian, who loves swords more than me.

Later, I bought a lot of imitations of famous Western swords, which were very unpopular.I have always wanted to see some good swords, so I stood in front of the cabinet for a long time. The owner of the shop was hospitable, opened the cabinet, and took out the sword. The sword, called the Tang sword, is similar in shape to the Japanese sword. It was this kind of sword that was introduced to Japan and evolved into a Japanese sword.A weapon like Tang Dao is extremely rare in martial arts novels, and it is a joy to be able to hold it in your hand.This knife, just the shark skin sheath, is already very precious, I have watched it for a long time, thinking about the narrowness of the small dwelling, the lack of room, and the way the sword will be attached, I can only sigh in my heart.

The owner of the store also showed a Han sword handle, which was very simple and unsophisticated, and he held it for a long time without letting the Tang sword be more beautiful. On the way home, I think of my friend Mr. Pan Hantang, the Han sword and Tang knife hanging in his study, isn't it appropriate?
