The Dominant Weapons of Asia
Comparing and contrasting the three historically dominant weapons of Asia, namely the sword, the Katana, and the spear.
Spears are also not weapons that can be mastered with just strength, as many ways of using a spear developed over the centuries can prove this. Some ways such as Zi-Long Spear was used by Zhao Yun in the battle of ChangBanPi to save Liu Bei’s child on his own, The Yue Fei Spear used in defeating the Jin for many years before the fall of the Song Dynasty, The Spear of the Zhang Fei was also used during the battle of ChangBanPi when Zhang Fei stood on the DangYang Bridge and scared off thousands of troops, other ways of using a spear has also been created over the centuries. The ways that has been listed above, shows that the spear cannot be mastered only with strength, but also skill. All these points show the difference between spears and swords and katana, making the spear superior to the rest.
All the weapons that have been mentioned have fought under their countries as great tools, and one of them, the spear stood out from them because of its superior features and uses such as creating a spear wall, their deadly long range, and the amount of skills required to use it. Although in many other countries, there might be other weapons (Such as claymores) that can be matched with the spear but in terms of traditional Asia, the spear is the superior weapon of the three dominant weapons of the continent: Spears, Swords, and Katana.
