Ancient Chinese Weapons
Many Martial Artists, once they reach a certain level of proficiency with their barehand fighting forms, choose to expand their knowledge to include weapons techniques. But what weapon to choose? Over the past 5000 years, the Chinese have developed a vast array of weapons, built for a multitude of purposes. What is the background of these weapons? What weapon is right for you? This book is an easy reference guide. You can find any weapon you want in seconds. This book is profusely illustrated and conveniently broken down into four main classifications: long weapons, short weapons, soft weapons, and projectile/thrown weapons. Even if you're not a martial artist, but have an interest in history and warfare, you'II find this guide a resource unlike any other.--From publisher description.

Endymion Wilkinson's bestselling manual of Chinese history has long been an indispensable guide to all those interested in the civilization and history of China. In this latest edition, now in a bigger format, its scope has been dramatically enlarged by the addition of one million words of new text. Twelve years in the making, the new manual introduces students to different types of transmitted, excavated, and artifactual sources from prehistory to the twentieth century. It also examines the context in which the sources were produced, preserved, and received, the problems of research and interpretation associated with them, and the best, most up-to-date secondary works. Because the writing of history has always played a central role in Chinese politics and culture, special attention is devoted to the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese historiography.
