Nepal's national sword

 


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.

  1. 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.
