nothing for Zhou?
The Shang are pre-zhou and post mythical period.
I saw an exhibition of Shang artifacts. Pretty amazing stuff.
In truth, I found it to resemble Olmec artifacts!
The spear heads were huge and ornate and they had a thing for large, intricately cast Incense and funeral Urns.
if anyone do weapons training i recommend wearing a weight vest, it will put chinese martial art in a better perspective
if teachers teach weapon sparring and dont like their students hopping around and playing tag, make them spar wearing weight vests, it makes a huge difference
