Who is from which country? When were scissors invented?
Scissors are a double-edged tool, which is used to cut sheet or linear objects such as cloth, paper, steel plate, rope and round steel. The two sides are staggered and can be opened and closed. Scissors of traditional Chinese medicine, ophthalmic surgical instruments. Used for excision of pterygium, blood tendon, skin, membrane, etc. Made of steel. Scissors have become an indispensable tool in people's daily production and life. Tailors should cut cloth and thread, village women should cut paper and metal skin, herders should cut wool, gardeners should cut branches, and coppersmith should cut scissors ... Although the appearance of scissors is not amazing, they are widely used. When tools such as knives and shovels can't exert force, shearing can be easily solved. So how were scissors invented? When was it invented? Who invented it? Scissors, as daily necessities, have a long history in China. This can be learned from the poem "Singing Willow" by the poet He in the Tang Dynasty, "I don't know who cut the thin leaves, but it looks like scissors in February". The folk paper-cutting art with a long history also proves the long history of scissors in China. The pictographic meaning of the Chinese character "Jian" means "There is a knife in front of the knife". The ancients called scissors "dragon sword", which shows its importance in life. The earliest existing scissors in China were found in Luoyang. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the famous tomb museum in Luoyang again, where I saw this pair of scissors unearthed from the tomb of the Western Han Dynasty, which has been more than 2 100 years. This rusty bronze scissors of the Western Han Dynasty, about 20 cm long, has a different appearance from modern scissors. There is no shaft eye and supporting shaft in the middle, but the two ends of an iron bar are tempered into a knife shape to grind a sharp blade, and then the iron bar is bent into an "S" shape to make the blades at both ends correspond. Therefore, the scissors are naturally opened when not in use; When in use, people can cut things by pressing the blades at both ends. As soon as you let go, scissors will return to their original state by the elasticity of wrought iron, just like modern people use tweezers. Modern scissors have greatly improved in shape, material, technology, quality, variety and function compared with ancient scissors. However, judging from the existing relics, the scissors used by people in the Song Dynasty are generally close to modern appearance. Luoyang Tomb Museum also has a pair of scissors unearthed in the tomb of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 1072), which looks very similar to modern scissors. This shows that China's scissors model has been used for at least 1000 years. China's contemporary famous scissors are called "Wang Mazi" in Beijing and "Zhang Xiaoquan" in Hangzhou, hence the name "Wang Nanzhang". Zhang Xiaoquan scissors has a history of 300 years and a reputation of 300 years, which is also called "the crown of scissors". As early as 19 10, Zhang Xiaoquan Scissors won the silver prize, and won the gold medal and the special prize at the Panama International Expo 19 19 and the domestic product exhibition 1923 respectively. In recent years, the export volume of scissors in Zhang Xiaoquan has greatly increased, which is favored by people all over the world. With a history of more than 360 years, "Wang Mazi" scissors have gradually declined in recent years due to various reasons. This also illustrates the importance of carrying forward history and culture and protecting and developing "Chinese time-honored brands" from another aspect. There are many kinds of scissors, mainly made of alloy steel, which generally consist of two parts-a movable blade controlled by thumb and a fixed blade controlled by ring finger, and the two parts are fixed by screws.
