…In recent years, bronze swords have been excavated from two ruins of the Majiayao and Maqang type in Gansu Province, which date back to the late Yangshao culture. They are blunt objects reminiscent of stone knives. From the middle of the Yin Dynasty onwards, swords with a straight spine similar to a kitchen knife, swords with a curved blade that curves into an S-shape and a bow-like neck, and ring-headed swords with a ring on the pommel, an arched spine and a blade that is slightly S-shaped, have been found. All of these are small knives less than 30 cm long. The first two swords have wooden handles on the stalks, decorative spines, and patterns such as dragons, and were used for ceremonies. … *Some of the terminology explanations that refer to "ring-necked sword" are listed below.
