The Sword of Goujian, the crown jewel of the Hubei Provincial Museum, is renowned as “the Finest Sword Under Heaven.”Eight bird script characters are inlaid on its blade, reading: “King Goujian of Yue made this sword for his personal use.”Exquisitely cast, the sword features a raised central ridge and black diamond-pattern inlay. The blade is thin, razor-sharp, and utterly untarnished – even after 2,400 years it glints with a chilling light. It stands as a masterpiece and peerless pinnacle of ancient Chinese weaponry.
