Home Contact About Buy Swords ... Latest Chinese History: THE BANNERMEN Chinese history is a good place to start for reestablishing traditional Chinese swordsmanship. The pattern for my gambeson came from the Banner Army in the Qing Dynasty. Our weapons are from this time as well. Here is a brief summary of the Banner Army. CHINESE HISTORY: THE EIGHT BANNERS The banner military system began with Nurhaci in the early 17th Century of chinese history. It was at its best throughout the 17th Century, declining in the 18th, and taken over by modern military methods in the 19th Century. Banner armour in the Beijing Military Museum: (Courtesy of Katiekellert - Flickr) I t began with four banners, moved to eight in about 1616, which is how we usually think of it, and was subdivided by ethnicity into twenty four. The Manchus had taken over the Han and didn't want to lose this position by reason of inferior numbers. If they let Manchus mix with Han too much, they would be reassimilated. So the Manchus fratenised with the Mongols a little, but not with the Han. The Manchu and Mongol Bannermen had horses. The Han soldiers had to walk and do the ground duty type jobs. Each of those groups had seperate banners within the Banner Army. The Banner colours were ranked in importance as well. That said, there was some fluidity. You could be promoted to a higher banner. You could also change ethnicity, especially in the latter years. By the end of Banner Army prominence in Chinese history, all descendants of Banner families were automatically considered Manchus.
