对于分不清文化复兴与民族主义的人,没必要跟你多话
A cannon from the Huolongjing, compiled byJiao Yu and Liu Ji before the latter's death in 1375 (Ming Dynasty)
Let's see how Ming people themselves describe their inventions:
「……以上之外,有火磚,一窩鋒,地雷,千里炮,神槍等,百十名色,皆不切於守戰,故不備,今皆一切禁之。以節靡費,惟有子母炮,尚屬可用,未當終棄,亦一奇品也。」-《練兵實紀》
I don't think I should remind you who 戚繼光 is.

Wow the second pic you gave, 八里桥之战, qing soildiers used Bows and arrows, spears against french soldiers' gun. great, it made difference with long knives? same Cold steel against modern guns
You just posted these pictures showing the invaders of China were using both firearms & using cold steels (such combination was extremely normal back in those days) yet you complain about Qing army has been using cold steels (with firearms ) to fight with the invaders.
Do you even know what you are doing or thinking.
Seriously you should go get your head check by a good doctor, at once.
Base on your logic, using firearms = not using cold steels, or using cold steels = not using firearms, am I right. Of course I am, once again you have proved that you have such a simple mind which can only distinguish "white & black" like a 3 years old.
And I even wonder if you can even understand the word "only (long knife)".
Also: [17世紀前半,三十年戰爭的時代,古斯塔夫如此重視火器的使用,但在他的軍隊中仍然保有三分之一左右的長矛兵。]
Gun or knife you asked ? Why don't you go find yourself a glass.
