Its alloy constituent analysishas been carried out by some scientist with modern technique. Afterwards, a series of work havebeen published. The main results are: (1) the sword materials are Pb-Sn-bearing bronze with tincontent at 15～19%; (2) it is cast alloy mainly; (3) the rhombus pattern on the sword of Yue King展开更多

Some scholars have pointed out that this kind of swords were introduced from the Northwest to the Southwest; this paper makes typological classification and chronological dating to the bronze swords with trident-shaped guard unearthed in Northwestern China and compares them with their counterparts found in Southwestern China in terms of typology and chronology, and draws the conclusion that the diffusion of bronze swords with trident-shaped guard was a constant progression from the Eastern Zhou Period to the Han Dynasty during which the Qin Culture played a significant role. This type of swords took different proportions of bronze swords in different regions of Southwestern China, and had different influences to these regions.展开更多
