Unveil the fascinating story of the world's oldest sword! Recently uncovered in a Venetian monastery, this remarkable weapon dates back an astonishing 5,000 years and is made from arsenical copper, which came before the advent of true bronze. Initially misidentified, it took the sharp eye of a passionate graduate student to uncover its true age. Hailing from Kavak, near the historic site of Trebizond (modern-day Trabzon, Turkey), this sword shares striking similarities with others found at Arslantepe, dating back to around 3,000 BC. This incredible discovery not only highlights the ingenuity of early metallurgy but also offers a thrilling glimpse into the world of ancient weaponry.

Zhu Xi's commentary on the Confucian text

Doctrine of the Mean says ~

To learn widely, to examine and ask questions, to think carefully, to apply good judgment, to devotedly apply what one has mastered, this is what sincerity is all about.

朱熹注中庸日--博学之,审问之,慎思之,明辨之,笃行之。此诚之之目也。
