The Systematic Design of Metal Sawing Tools in China from the Shang-Zhou to Qin-Han Periods
This paper examines metal saws from the Shang-Zhou to Qin-Han periods,mapping the development trajectory of metal sawing tools from singular to diverse and from rudimentary to refined across both vertical and horizontal dimensions.Applying methodologies from design,archaeological typology,statistics,and mechanics,the study quantitatively analyzes data on the length,width,thickness,and tooth size and angle of metal saws.The adaptive design features revealed include changes in saw body material,diversification of saw types,refinement of saw shapes,and optimization of tooth morphology,resulting in improved comfort,processing suitability,sawing efficiency,and precision.This examination provides a reference for understanding the development of ancient woodworking techniques and the evolution of carpentry groups,offering significant academic value for the modernization and reinterpretation of traditional woodworking practices.
