Overview

Origin

Heritage

An armor is a kind of attire used to protect the head and neck. In the ancient times of China, people usually called the equipment for protecting other parts of the body as armor, and called the equipment for protecting the head as helmet, and because armor and helmet were used together, the term "armor" became the general name of the protective equipment in ancient China. Armor is the name of the pre-Qin period, the Warring States period called "helmet (móu)", the Northern Song Dynasty called "helmet", after the Song Dynasty and more called "helmet".

Description: from the original meaning of the word, "胄" does not mean "helmet", but should be the whole body armor (head protection is of course included). The character "胄" contains the word "由", which indicates the smoothness of the surface of the bronze armor, which is the only way to make the arrowheads slip away. Therefore, "armor" should be made of bronze, not leather

Evolution

In the Neolithic period, armor was mostly made of rattan or animal skin. Into the Bronze Age, in addition to the continued use of leather armor, began to use bronze casting of the armor. Has found the earliest era of bronze armor is unearthed in Anyang City, Henan Province, the Shang Dynasty products. The surface of the armor cast with tiger, cattle and other patterns, the top of the armor vertical tassel of the copper tube. Bronze armor from the Western Zhou period has been excavated in Beijing. Leather armor of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, typified by the Zenghouyi Tomb excavated in Suizhou City, Hubei Province, consists of 18 pieces of lacquer-painted leather armor pieces grouped together, with a spine on the top, and a pendant neck protector on the bottom. The earliest iron head-guard is a late Warring States product unearthed in Yixian County, Hebei Province, which is made of 89 pieces of iron armor. From the Qin and Han Dynasties onwards, iron helmets were commonly used in the military. At the back of the helmet, there was often a neck protector, called the dongxiang. After the Tang Dynasty, the dongxiang was often made of light, soft and firm ring-lock armor. After the Song Dynasty, the helmet is also known as helmet. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the iron helmet is still equipped with head protection equipment in the army.

Bronze armor in the Yin Dynasty has begun to use. At present, China found the earliest bronze armor is unearthed in Henan Anyang Yin Dynasty products. 1934-1955, Mr. Liang Yongen in Anyang Houjiazhuang 1004 Yin tomb, found more than 140 bronze helmets. These copper helmets are similar in shape, all of them are cast in one piece, weighing 2 to 3 kilograms, with a height of 15 centimeters and a width of 18 centimeters at the base. Many copper helmets cast on the front of the animal face decoration, the center line of the forehead is a flat round animal nose, large animal eyes and eyebrows on the nose to the left and right, and ears, round nose is the front of the helmet, in the equivalent of the animal's mouth, the place, revealing the face of the generals, looks very majestic. On the top of the armor there is a brass tube that rises upwards, which is used to insert the tassel ornament. The surface of the armor is polished smooth, animal face and other decorative drawings are all floating out of the armor, most of the casting into the tiger head shape, the appearance of the majestic, so ancient times called the top of the armor armor for the generals "tiger (bēi)" of the soldiers. The inner surface of the armor still retains the rough surface of the casting, it can be assumed that there must be soft fabric lining the armor. The bronze armor of the Western Zhou Dynasty was also cast in one piece. The left and right sides extend down to form the ear protection, some in the armor along the broadband protrudes a row of round bubble nail. From the unearthed Zhou armor, the shape is simple, unlike the Yin Dynasty armor as decorative ornate treacherous.

Warring States period, iron head protector with the development of iron weapons came into being, because of its shape is very similar to the shape of the rice cooker - helmet, so at first called "helmet". 1965, in Hebei yixian yanxiadu an ancient tomb, iron helmet was unearthed. The iron helmet unearthed in an ancient tomb in Yanxiadu, Yixian County, Hebei Province, in 1965 is the earliest one found in China so far. It was made of 89 pieces of iron armor, with a total height of 26 centimeters. Starting from the top, one layer presses one layer of braiding, from top to bottom **** seven layers. The whole head is wrapped tightly, leaving only the face part. Style simple, no special decoration. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, iron helmet became the main head protection equipment, in the back side of the helmet, often hanging with the protection of the neck part, called "Dun Xiang". After the Tang Dynasty, "Dun Xiang" and commonly used light and soft solid ring lock armor made to facilitate neck movement. North and South Dynasty helmet, the forehead protrudes out in front of the horn, both sides of the increased ear protection, this form and structure has been maintained until the end of the Sui Dynasty. It is said that the 13th century Mongolia leader Temujin led cavalry west, swarthy Mongolian cavalry, wearing iron armor, wearing a strange style of iron helmet, the face of a large anchor-shaped nose protector, holding a bright sword fast axe, riding a high horse, that look very fierce and horrible. Just invaded India, people thought that the devil descended, the horror of the situation is no less than our present-day surprise and fear of aliens. After the Tang and Song dynasties, helmet changed its name to "helmet", but its shape and structure basically maintained the style of the North and South Dynasties. This kind of iron helmet, as China's ancient army commonly equipped with head protection equipment, has been used until the late Qing Dynasty. The helmet of the ming dynasty largely inherited the legacy of the song before the system, some improvement is the imperial army using the lock helmet, the iron bowl of the shape of a hat, the lower edge of the lock wire mesh installed inside, helmet high 8 inches, net length of 1 foot or so, the net ring is extremely fine, and the ordinary soldier with the iron helmet is relatively simple, there is no decorations, the iron bowl of the bowl is tall, eyebrow cover wider, the whole helmet surface under the wide on the narrow, in the form of a minaret. Officers with iron helmets, carved with dragons and tigers, some also with gold and silver inlays, helmets on the tube, can be inserted sable tassel. With the development of firearms, iron helmet form gradually light body. To the end of the Qing dynasty, western-style steel helmet imported into China, become the infantry universal protective equipment, but its shape has been very different from the ancient helmet. Today we see the infantry combat attire is camouflage uniforms and steel helmets, the old iron armor has been listed as a historical relic, but the armor is another new look in modern warfare to play a role.
