Why did iron weapons become popular in China relatively late?

I think it was mainly due to the lack of materials and iron-making technology that led to the late popularization of iron weapons in China.

1 There is bronze in our country, and the texture of bronze is better than that of iron, and bronze is abundant in the early days and rare in the later period. 2. China's iron-smelting technology appeared relatively late, first discovered and mastered the firing of bronze before discovering and mastering the smelting of iron, earlier there were firing bronze talents later to have iron-smelting talents. 3 When our country expanded before, it would not learn the good things of other countries, it was required to occupy a piece of land according to the rules of the imperial court, the Han nationality was the largest, and the anti-party predators were eliminated.

In ancient China, agriculture was developed, all bronze tools, and iron tools were not suitable for farming, so they were popularized slowly.

Iron weapons were popularized relatively late in China, because iron ore was scarce in China, and bronze was basically used to make weapons in ancient China.

Iron smelting is more difficult than bronze, the quality is not good, and it is easy to rust, so iron weapons are popularized later than bronze weapons. This is true not only in our country, but also in the world.

Because China's iron-making technology is not very powerful, and the iron-making industry is controlled by the royal family, there will be no other people in the society to produce.

Iron weapons did become more widespread in China relatively late, when this feudal rule was already very serious.

The popularization of iron weapons in China is actually not very late, because the history of the development of iron weapons in China is still very long.

In ancient times, people were relatively closed-minded and slow to accept new things.

Before the Han Dynasty, bronze weapons occupied the military stage; In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, some bronze weapons were also used. With the progress of iron-smelting technology and steel forging technology, iron and steel weapons have risen. By the end of the Western Han Dynasty, iron weapons had gradually squeezed out the bronze weapons that had been prevalent for about 2,000 years out of the war stage, and cold weapons entered their heyday.

Iron ** does not tell everything, the Han Dynasty used iron coins when the West had not yet enlightened the language of people and was in a state of carnivorous wild animals that "drank blood from Ru Mao".

In fact, when the ancient Chinese Loess Plateau people invented the first "Xuanyuan" car, they used forged iron nails to reinforce the wheel hub and spokes, as well as the huge nails used to reinforce the wooden planks of the ship, all of which occurred in the Yanhuang scientific civilization era hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Iron ore mining requires gunpowder, smelting iron ore requires carbon, and forging and other processes, the words here are all in Chinese format, and there is no foreign language format to describe the original language of "the West used iron before China".

If the "Meniere's syndrome" of "Meniere's syndrome" is a foreign language format, then "syndrome" is a language of Chinese format, and it is not difficult to distinguish the order of use of "iron **" between these two mixed language formats.

The iron ** of Westerners appeared in the barbaric Middle Ages, and the morphological names of all ** are completely Chinese.

Therefore, under the huge differences in times and languages, it is no longer meaningful to simply discuss who used "iron **" first.

Our country was one of the first countries in the world to discover and use iron? Legend has it that in the middle of the Shang Dynasty, there was an armor manufacturer in North China who accidentally found a few pieces of very hard meteorite? He melted the meteorite when he cast the bronze and made a handful of iron and copper?

The occasional meteorite iron is not enough to meet the needs of making weapons in large quantities, and all iron in nature exists as a compound and must be smelted? Therefore, the ancients carried out bold exploration and practice, and smelting technology made a breakthrough in the Han Dynasty? Iron weapons.

I think that being able to sharpen iron like clay is a kind of saying, which may be to describe the ancient Chinese weapons made of iron and iron are very useful and very fast, and it is definitely an exaggeration to say that sharpening iron is like clay.

It is no problem to sharpen ordinary alloy weapons or iron weapons with weapons made of meteoric iron, mainly because the technology of refining metals at that time was too poor, and occasionally a weapon made of meteorite iron or iron-carbon with a moderate ratio would be invincible.

The quality of ancient high-quality weapons is very good, but this concept is different from our modern concept, and the ancient soil is not as strong as our mixed steel bars.

Iron is actually a type of steel in ancient times. This kind of steel is not so magical, although the original forging process has been lost now, but this is always a process of technological development, our modern technology naturally has modern advantages, this kind of thing in ancient times is still because of less so precious, if a handful, then it will also lose its value.

I think it's still possible, after all, in ancient times, cold weapons were the mainstay, and there must be a lot of experience in the research and forging of cold weapons, with the change of dynasties and the outbreak of war, there are always people who have developed this kind of weapons.

In ancient times, there was basically no mature rare metal smelting process, so no matter how "100 smelted into steel", it was still ordinary steel instead of alloy steel. Since it is ordinary steel, it is impossible to compare the hardness of other steels.
