The so-called "Chinese civilization" is a patch work of foreign invaded civilizations. It was a loot from Tibetans, Mongols, Yue tribes and whoever they crushed next.

Barium copper silicate, showing an attractive purple color, is chemically synthesized from a variety of stone materials at about 1,000 degrees. It was previously called Han purple, and was later found on Terracotta Warriors, now changed to Qin purple, or China purple.

In 1998, eight painted crossbow soldiers were discovered in Pit No. 2 of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. After careful scientific protection by cultural relics workers, we can still see the colors when they were first unearthed.246-208 BCE, Qinling Museum, China.

As someone who was born and raised in northeast for generations, what I dislike most abt these fucking Anatolians is that they spend all day pretending to be nomadic chad from the far east, then point at my home on a map and talk bullshit that never happened.

A Chinese student created a website that maps British Museum artifacts to their countries of origin.

中国春秋战国时期流行的长剑起源 The origins of the long swords popular during the Spring and Autumn & Warring States periods in China In the central plain, made up of present-day henan, hebei, and shanxi (zhou, Wei， Yan ……) the sword became increasingly popular between the Spring & Autumn and Warring States periods. Not only were the swords different from their northern counterparts in length, often reaching 40-50cm, unlike the short (20-30cm) swords (daggers) of the north, but in shape they were even more dissimilar. Although two types were common in the central plain, they were exceptionally popular in the south. Characteristically they have a round pommel and a guard. They can be traced in origin to the previous period, by such early specimens as the "changxing Sword" from zhejiang, among others, all of which came principally from the south. Based on this evidence, most scholars lean toward a southern origin for these two sword types. The south may have been responsible not only for nurturing the development of the sword types popular in the central plain, but also for major breakthroughs in technology. The techniques used for casting swords which combine different metals illustrate this. The "Sword with Yüeh State Script" of the National Palace Museum does as well, having been cast in several pieces. The color and luster of the median ridge, and the two sides of the blade are different. The Conservation Division of the National Palace Museum has examined this sword with a three-dimensional microscope, at a magnification of 40 times the original size. Under this scrutiny, the divisions between the differently colored areas were extremely apparent. Samples were taken from the median ridge, blade and hilt, and analyzed with high-technology equipment to determine the amounts of copper, tin, and other minor elements. It was proven that the tin content was higher along the edges of the blade, increasing the sharpness of the weapon, while conversely, the copper content was higher along the median ridge. Practically the same findings were made by the Shanghai Museum in the analysis of the sword cast of different metals which is found in their collection. 今河南、河北、山西三省，原周、郑、晋、卫、燕国等地的中原，到春秋战国之际，剑也趋于普遍。不只在长度上呈四、五十公分，与北方的二、三十公分的短剑不类，在形制特点上更不相同。中原的剑制主要分成三式：一式是剑身似柳叶形，扁茎，剑身与茎分界呈直角，茎上无格、无箍。故宫的【无首剑】属之，本件经X光透视，知原型为无首，其玉剑格、柄及首系经后代补接。二式是圆首、圆茎或扁圆茎、无箍、窄格剑，故宫的【奇字剑】即是。三式是圆首、有箍、有格剑，故宫的【有首双箍有格剑】属之。 以上中原三种剑制的后二式，正是盛行于南方的主要剑制。故宫的【奇字劍】铭文风格显示可能是越国剑，即是第二式的圆首扁圆茎、无箍、窄格剑。安徽淮南蔡家岗赵家孤堆出土的【攻敔大子姑发聩反剑】及襄阳蔡坡墓十二的【吴王夫差剑】等皆属此制。 另外，中原盛行的第三式剑，以有首、箍、格的圆茎剑为其特色，亦盛行于南方，故宫的【越王州勾自作用剑】是为例。湖北江陵藤店的【越王州勾剑】及安徽庐江的【吴王光剑】皆属此型。 以上二种剑制，虽行于中原，却尤其盛行于南方。其以圆形剑首、有格为主要特点，尤其可以追溯至前一阶段，早期的例如浙江长兴剑等主要来自南方。 南方不只在中原剑制的发展上可能有孕育之功，在科技上也有突出的表现，「复合剑」技术即为例证，故宫的「奇字剑」即是以复合技术铸成的。从器表看，此剑身中脊部分与左右两边色泽不同，经本院科技室的立体式显微镜四十倍放大，其中间与边刃的色泽的分野尤其明显。经本院科技室协助，分别由脊部、刃部及柄部三部分各取一点，以感应耦合电浆原子发射光谱分析，测出其铜、锡等主要成分及其它少量元素成分：证明了刃部的锡成分较中脊为高，可以加强剑的锋利性，而脊部的铜成分则相对的比刃部高，这种现象，与上海博物馆复合剑的成分分析结果相近。 而中脊边刃成分不同，其铸造技术如何？经科技室X光透视，见脊部的下端超过剑格，与两刃分界明显。据上海博物馆的复合剑剖面看，其铸造的程序应该先铸脊部，再嵌入范中铸出刃部，并在脊部的两端作凸起，以与刃部连接，以防止脱落。复合剑的科技成就由此可见一斑。
