Nepal's national sword
While chatting with Agudemba in a small restaurant, Lavani took
out some knives from his collection, showed them to Agudemba, and told him
about the history of Nepalese military knives.
Today, many countries in the world have their own unique cultures
and are famous for them. Some are represented by a kind of flower or tree,
which is called the national flower or national tree. What surprised Agudemba
was that Nepal actually designated the military sword as its national sword.
The old man Lavani said to Agudenbani: The Nepalese military sword
was originally called the Gurkha sword. It is not only the national sword of
Nepal, but also a symbol of honor for the Gurkha soldiers. Soldiers who have
achieved military exploits will be given a sword engraved with his name. Erkha
knife.
In the recorded war history of Nepal, the first time the Gurkha
sword showed its power was in the battle between British soldiers stationed in
India and Gurkha soldiers in western Nepal in 1814. Since then, countless
legends have arisen.
In the hands of the Gurkhas, this seemingly small scimitar turned
into an incredibly dangerous weapon. They faced the enemy in several battles
and used it to establish a rare bravery and tenacity. of prestige.
The old man Lavani said: Unlike the sabers of other countries, the
Nepali saber abandons the traditional straight stabbing style and instead
adopts a machete-style stabbing design. This design in Nepal is actually
similar to a human arm. This kind of saber requires long-term use or training
to master. It is difficult for most people to control this close-quarters weapon
well when they first use it, but once you control it well, it will become an
extension of your arm and is as flexible as your arm. This is unmatched by any
other close-quarters weapon.
The old man Lavani said: The cutting power of the Nepalese saber
is very huge. Due to the design of its blade, its rear wing is very thick,
making it easier for the force to hit the blade when slashing, thus causing
great damage to the enemy. Unlike China's three-edged military spur, it does
not cause fatal injuries, but causes continuous damage to the enemy; the Nepali
military knife has always been known for direct damage. Once it hits the vital
point, the enemy will die soon, rather than torturing. and slowly die in pain.
So relatively speaking, this saber is still very "merciful".
The Nepal Army Knife originated in ancient times. It is not only a
powerful preventive weapon, but also a multi-purpose knife used by Nepalese
mountain forest dwellers. As a multi-purpose tool, it is an indispensable thing
for every Nepali household, especially those of the Gurung, Magar, Rai and
Limbu tribal peoples located in central and eastern Nepal.
Old Lavani said:
Like the Desert Eagle, the Nepalese Army Knife, as a
"good-looking" close-quarters weapon, has been favored by many movies
and games. The image of the protagonist holding a pair of Nepalese Army Knives
in some movies is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Boer
Saber has been extremely popular in CF since its birth, and it is the first
melee weapon in the game to have a heroic version.
The Nepali Army Knife is not just a military weapon in Nepal. In
addition to being standard equipment for the army, soldiers who have achieved
military success will be given a Nepali Army Knife engraved with their name as
a collection and as an honor.
In addition to being a symbol of bravery and tenacity, the
Nepalese saber is also a symbol of Nepali culture. It represents Nepal’s unique
handicrafts and can also be used as a souvenir of your visit to Nepal. This
exquisite small collection of Nepali military knives has become a unique
industry in Nepal.
The old man Lavani said: Any tourist who has been to Nepal will
naturally think of the legendary Nepalese military knife and talk about the
design and manufacturing process of the military knife.
The old man Lavani held a Nepalese army knife in his hand, danced
the Gurkha soldier dance, and sang a song "Gorkha Knife":
When faced with strong
external pressure,
Always keep it stiff and
easily damaged,
Choose to bend to save
yourself,
So as to stretch out and
exert force bravely again.
Don't underestimate the
low-lying areas.
There can be plenty of
water accumulated there,
The Gurkha knife never goes
stale;
Nepalis always keep
updating.
The world is never static,
The two potential energies
of Yin and Yang alternately come and go,
Opposition is to follow the
changes of nature,
Only by starting over and
over again can we continue to thrive.
We cannot ride the vortex,
How can we have so much
power?
But I can let the whirlpool
control me,
Know how to go with the
flow without any resistance.
Know how to borrow the
power of potential energy,
It will make you stronger,
This is also the secret of
a wise man’s success,
The Gurkha Knife inspires
us to move forward.
Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fables makes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
