    There are two main reasons for this.

    First, there is the issue of the types of weapons. Ancient weapons are actually divided into two kinds, one is the actual combat weapons, pay attention to the fast horse, light knife, soft bow and long arrow, such weapons will not be very heavy, now people will not be very difficult to hold. One is the exercise, the practice class, just like the Qing Dynasty martial arts exam, weighing more than 100 pounds, its purpose is to assess the arm strength of the martial arts students, etc., this kind of weapon is also very difficult for the ancients to hold, let alone otaku.

    Second, the problem of physical fitness. With the development of social productive forces, people have been liberated from heavy manual labor. In the era when you can order takeout for dinner, a large number of otaku and otaku have appeared.

    People who lack physical exercise, people who have not undergone heavy physical labor, do not have much strength, and many of the existing ancient weapons are family heirlooms of professional military generals. Its weight must be trained for many years before it can be used freely. In the face of such a **, modern people who have not exercised naturally feel strained.

    Before the liberation of our village, there was a family that was very wealthy. Their family is the richest family in our village! Because there is money in the family! The eldest of their family, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child!

    It can be said that all eighteen kinds of martial arts are proficient! In the location of the old moat in our village, there used to be a martial arts arena for them! The boss trained in martial arts there every day, and after more than ten years of unremitting efforts, this young man finally grew into a martial arts expert!

    After the liberation, people from our village often went to the next village to attend meetings. Once, in the process of attending the meeting, everyone suddenly found two strong guys fighting! In the process of many times of persuasion, these two guys are fighting in my turn, and others can't get close at all!

    At that time, the old martial artist, who was already in his 60s, gently walked past the two of them and threw them eight meters away! The people who attended the meeting at that time were stunned by this phenomenon! Ask him how he did it!

    I saw countless families smiling and saying, "I have two stone lions in my house, each weighing about 80 pounds, and I carry them every day to play."

    At this time, everyone found out that he was in his 60s, but he looked like a person in his 40s! It is said that there is a big knife in their house, and it takes three or four people to lift it, but when the old man comes home, he gently takes it, and the big knife is flying dexterously in his hand!

    Therefore, our people still lack exercise! What about the results of no training**?

    Yes, the weapons used by ancient people were somewhat heavy and difficult to handle, and modern people may not be able to hold them. Ancient weapons were usually forged from metal, because the steelmaking technology at that time was not developed enough, and iron tools were often made of dozens or even hundreds of iron plates, and the weight was very large. For example, the spears used in ancient China during wars, some of which were more than 3 meters long and weighed 20-25 kilograms, were impossible for ordinary people to handle.

    In addition, ancient weapons did not focus on balance, portability, and precision like modern weapons, but on lethality and deterrence. For example, the heavy halberd of the Ming and Qing dynasties in Tanying China weighed more than 50 kilograms and was mostly 2 meters long, but due to its long pole and wide blade, it was very difficult to maneuver and could only be used by professional soldiers who had been trained for a long time.

    To sum up, although ancient weapons have their own unique cultural and historical value, it is obviously unrealistic for modern people to use these weapons while pursuing personal convenience and efficiency.

    <> "The weapons used by the ancients, why can't modern people hold them?"

    First of all, ancient and modern weapons are different. In ancient times, it was a cold soldier and a swift weapon, and those professional soldiers had to rely on the guys in their hands to take the lives of the enemy when they went to the battlefield in order to save their lives or obtain war merits. Therefore, you usually need to exercise more, improve your martial arts, and improve your physical fitness.

    This is almost the only condition for victory over the enemy on the battlefield.

    Although modern military personnel also need excellent physical fitness, physical training is only a part of peacetime training, and a large part of the time has to train other skills, such as mastering the performance of various guns, target training, driving techniques such as combat vehicles or tanks, driving or maintenance of fighter planes, and many other aspects of military science and technology. Therefore, compared with modern people, the only way out for ancient soldiers is to improve their martial arts and strength training.

    In ancient times, there was also a kind of training equipment rather than actual combat weapons, which was much heavier, and its role was equivalent to modern barbells and other equipment. There are often people who are hungry and will confuse this kind of training equipment with actual combat weapons. Liu Wei, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, used an iron knife weighing more than 120 catties, which can rotate like flying on a horse, and this iron knife is obviously a typical training equipment.

    The weight, length, and shape of the weapons used by the ancient famous generals described in the historical works were reproduced and worshiped by later generations. The reproductions are too heavy for modern people to pick up, one may be an exaggeration of the weight in historical works, and the other may be ancient''Jin unit is more modern than the modern one''Jin unit light, or both. The development of tools replaces the development of the limbs of our body, and there are pros and cons.

    First of all, "why can't people hold weapons in ancient times", pay attention to the word "weapon", and what is used in war is "weapon".Since it is a weapon, it must have been used by soldiers who fought in ancient times, not by ordinary people, so as a modern ordinary person, it is normal for you not to be able to hold it, because this is a special tool for professionals. Let's talk about another point, in fact, these **, the situation in the TV series is unrealistic! Like these, TV series are largely based on artistic imagination and some exaggerated techniques.

    The ancients were also human beings, and it was impossible to carry hundreds of pounds of **, and they could still fight freely on the battlefield. In some of the official histories, the Hercules used a ** in his early 100 pounds at most. Secondly, according to historical records, the average height of Chinese soldiers in the Han Dynasty was only about 1.6 meters, and their height and physical strength were not as good as those of the Huns, who had a habit of drinking milk and eating meat, because they lived in a harsh environment for a long time and needed to consume protein for a long time to maintain their physical strength.

    The soldiers of the Han Dynasty were able to barely win by virtue of the advantage of being outnumbered. Therefore, it is a common misconception that the ancients were stronger than modern people, thanks to the development of agricultural science and technology, modern people are obviously much stronger in nutritional intake than they may not be able to eat enough, and the ancient drudgery that is full and lacks various trace elements is much stronger. In terms of physical training, reasonable exercise equipment, training cycles, and methods are bound to be more scientific and effective than those of the ancients.

    Furthermore, there is a common sense misunderstanding, because although the unit of measurement is the same, the measurement methods of modern and ancient times are very different, and the measurement methods of each dynasty may also vary greatly. For example, the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty weighed fifteen catties, but it was equivalent to twenty catties now, and it was seven feet longBut it's equivalent to today's rice. Let's take a simple example, for example, the famous Tang Dynasty Mo knife, more than 50 catties, but you must know that the conversion was different from now.

    According to the conversion of catties at that time, it was about 20 catties. In ancient times, the weapons used in actual combat were basically less than 20 kilograms, and those that were tens of kilograms were used for peacetime practice. The key is skill in the use of weapons, not in weight.

    Therefore, the statement that "the weapons of the ancients cannot be held by modern people" is completely unfounded

    Don't believe the exaggerated statements described in ** that "Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Knife weighs eighty-two catties" and "Li Yuanba's double hammer weighs eight hundred catties" are all fiction. Of course, whether to mention the knife or not depends not only on physical strength,It also depends on whether you practice diligently, practice a lot, master the skills, and use it naturally. There is also the fact that the ancients fought with cold weapons, a few years, more than ten years of training, some heavy weapons are to be used with horsemanship, plus the ingenuity of the use, or can be used in actual combat!

    Finally, the generals who can fight in front of the battle and charge into battle are all one in a million, or even one in a hundred thousand! Therefore, among so many people, it is not easy to find someone with great strength!

    Because the ancient weapons were made of iron, they were very cumbersome, and the previous production technology was not as good as it is now, so it was very heavy and modern people could not hold it.

    I think it may be because the ancient forging technology was not so developed, and the weapons that were trained were generally heavier.

    In the past, when the army was fighting, the ** in his hand looked very heavy, the weapon held by Guan Yu weighed 82 pounds in the past, and the weapon used by Wei Guodianwei was also as high as 80 pounds. So why can't modern people hold the weapons used by the ancients?

    The materials used to make it are different

    In the past, most weapons were made of iron and some were made of bronze, but today's weapons may be mixed with various magazines. Therefore, it will be stronger in weight, and the previous weapons will be made in real life, and they will not cut corners in the production process, so they will be heavier. And their weapons were and were used to focus on weight rather than sharpness.

    The ancients were brave and fierce

    Because ancient people were going to fight on the battlefield, they were generally relatively burly and powerful. Just like Xiang Yu can lift a jack tripod, this is also because Xiang Yu is relatively strong. It is precisely because they are going to fight on the battlefield that their weapons are relatively heavy, so their aggressiveness against the enemy is also greatly improved.

    Daily training

    Moreover, in the past, the workmanship could only be used to make up for the shortcomings, and the ancient man-made weapons were not as sharp as the current weapons. Moreover, their soldiers also have daily training, carrying 70 pounds of equipment for training, so for them, there is no pressure to pick up dozens of pounds of things. Training like this every day, it is easy to kill the enemy with heavyweight weapons.

    This is probably the reason why modern people can't hold ancient weapons, I think people today rely on wisdom, while people in the past relied on strength to win. This is also the development and progress of society, which is also manifested in the weight and sharpness of weapons.

    The main reasons are as follows:

    Many of the ancient weapons that have survived belong to high-quality products, which are delicate and heavy, and are not suitable for simple ordinary people in ancient times.

    Many of the ** that applied to ordinary people in ancient times have been destroyed.

    The modern human constitution is inferior to that of the ancients. For example, archery.

    But in fact, these ** also require a long period of strength training before the ancients could use them. Welsh archery, for example, requires longbowmen to practice all the time. The bow and arrow in the movie Marco Polo are not open to many Mongolians in modern times.

    As a people on horseback, the ancient Mongols practiced archery on horseback since childhood, so the modern Mongols who had settled down could not use strong bows after using guns.

    Modern people have been trained to hold the cold weapons commonly used by the ancients, after all, their physical fitness is not ancient.

    If you want to give an example of the heavy weapons used by Li Yuanba, Li Yuanba was a special case in ancient times. Today, his weapons should be tried by a special case of modern people, such as the muscular man of Swarzenegger.
