One of the ancient weapons. The head of the stick is like a jujube pit, and iron nails are planted on it. It is shaped like a Wolf tooth, so it is named mace. Ming MAO Yuanyi \"Wubei Zhi\" volume 1, 4 \"Mace\" says: \"To take hard and heavy wood, four or five feet long. There are four different names: the spear, the pestle, the pole, and the rod. Those who plant nails on them, like spikes, are called mace.\" Mace is composed of three parts: rod head, rod handle and drill. The rod head is oval shaped and the hammer surface is covered with iron spines. The rod handle is a hard wood, about 2 meters long, and the rod head is mounted on it; The drill is made of iron, with a sharp bottom, and is installed at the end of the rod, which can protect the rod from breaking, and can hit the enemy and be inserted on the ground. Mace was not seen in the army before the Song Dynasty, and there were many users after the Song Dynasty, mostly such as \"bone blossom\" and \"percussion rod\" and other striking weapons, which were introduced into the Central Plains by northern minorities. There are many kinds of mace, the basic hitting methods are split, smash, cover, charge, intercept, block, pull, belt, pick, swing, spin, knock and so on.
Mace is a kind of striking weapon, on the spindle of wooden or iron hammer, fixed a number of iron nails like mace, hammer head mounted on a long handle. It was most commonly used in Song Dynasty.
In fact, mace was originally the mandibular weapon of deer. The mandible of deer without the ascending branch is shaped like a club-stick. Because it has all the posterior teeth, it is called deer tooth stick and is used as a striking weapon. In ancient times, there was a 麡 Wolf very like deer, the ancients sometimes did not distinguish between deer and Wolf, so it was also called mace. After the appearance of metal weapons, bone weapons gradually faded out, and only the name was circulated orally in the folk, and the later mace was made according to this name.
