The male and female famous sword "Gan Jiang Mo Xie" was originally the name of a couple

"The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening", this familiar motto says that a sharp sword can be forged through hard work and hard work. But is it enough for the birth of a sword to be tempered? Exercise can only create the sword's edge, but not the sword's soul. A real sword has a soul, just like the famous male and female mandarin duck sword in history-Ganjiang and Moxie (yé), this pair of famous swords is condensed More than just the hard work of the blacksmith? The reason why a famous sword is a famous sword is that the sword itself carries stories that have been passed down through the ages.

Ganjiang and Mo Xie were originally personal names. They were a husband and wife, and their wife was Mo Xie. Gan Jiang, a man from Wu in the late Spring and Autumn Period, a famous swordsmith in history, he and Ou Yezi, a famous swordsmith in the Spring and Autumn Period, went out of the same school, and his level was in the midst of the best. As the saying goes, people are afraid of becoming famous and afraid of being strong. No, the king of Chu (some said it was King Wu, some said it was King Jin) gave the heavy responsibility of casting the sword to the general. Someone wants to say: Isn't it okay to take a job? There is money to make. It’s better to have work, but it depends on whose job it is. Working for the monarch is a matter of putting your head on your belt.

's story about the swordsmanship of the Gan Jiang Moye and his wife, has many versions in the long historical period. One version focuses on sword casting, the other focuses on revenge. Speaking of which, Gan Jiang took the order from the King of Chu and opened the furnace to cast his sword day and night. "The fire is shining in the world, and the red stars are chaotic with purple smoke." You can imagine the scene of sword casting. Maybe because the raw materials are too particular, copper, iron, tin and lead are hardly melted in the furnace. What a good thing! If you don't deliver the goods to the king of Chu, you will lose your head. Mo Xie saw her husband frowning, so she threw herself into the furnace and sacrificed the sword with his body (as a catalyst in the current parlance). The technical problem was solved. The Gan Jiang casted two swords, male and female, to commemorate his wife, the female sword. Named Moxie, Xiongjian is called Ganjiang. Gan Jiang Moxie, this pair of male and female swords that condensed the hard work and soul of the husband and wife lived forever.

Another legend about the sword-making process is not so tragic. Mo Xie did not sacrifice his sword by himself, but just cut his hair and nails and threw it into the furnace, which could also act as a catalyst. Why do the problems that can be solved with hair and nails cost their lives? This method is more acceptable to people. No matter which way

used to cast the sword, the construction period was still missed after all, and it took three years to make the sword. Before Gan Jiang left home to offer his sword to King Chu, he knew that he would be gone forever. He took away the female sword Moxie, left the male sword swordsman behind, and asked his wife to avenge him when his son grew up. So there is the story of avenging Moxie’s son Chinoi to avenge his father. This story has different versions in the "Biography", "The Duty Son" and "Sou Shen Ji". The description is detailed and the process is the same: Chibi used his head and sword as bait to ask the righteous man to offer it to the king of Chu. The righteous man took the opportunity to kill the king of Chu, and the righteous man died as a result.

The superb sword-making skills of the general manager, the brutality of the king of Chu, the heroic youth, and the life and justice of the righteous were all cast in the pair of swords, the male and female swordsman Moxie. Although the sword does not exist in the world, the soul of the sword is passed down through the ages.
