The Way does not act in a vacuum; it must rely on a vessel.
The pinnacle of craftsmanship must be rooted in skill.
Carrying on the legacy of Ouye, we stand firm against the tidal wave of industry.
Picking up the threads of a lost narrative from the mists of time, and reviving a lost art from fragments of ancient texts.
The Five Arts are restored to their former glory, filling the void left throughout the ages.
Advancing in all four dimensions, we reach the pinnacle of this path.
[ Traditional Forging ]
Tracing the Origins of Mastery, Filling in the Gaps with the Five Arts
Iron Smelting in a Blast Furnace
Firing the furnaces of the Warring States period, smelting the ores of Longquan.
In collaboration with the University of Science and Technology Beijing, we are reconstructing an ancient blast furnace.
Locally sourced ore, smelted together with both raw and processed ore.
Without resorting to modern tinplate, we trace our roots directly back to the origins of European metallurgy.
Establishing the foundation of materials and setting industry standards.
Traditional Steel Casting
Combining the soft and the firm, it permeates to remove impurities.
It follows the method of “combining raw and cooked ingredients” from the late Han dynasty.
Pour molten pig iron into the cracks of wrought iron.
Combining strength and toughness, this technique revives China’s unique steelmaking process, which led the world for a thousand years.
Forged and Refined Through a Hundred Trials
A thousand blows forge it; a hundred refinements perfect it.
Tracing its origins back to the Warring States period, it reached its peak during the Wei and Jin dynasties.
Fold repeatedly, then twist and join.
Removing impurities down to the smallest detail, refining the texture with meticulous precision.
The cross-section features a fine, dense grain pattern, reflecting the high-end quality of ancient weapons.
Ancient Uzbek Steel
Exotic Arts, Eastern Forge.
Reviving the traditional crucible smelting process.
Mastering Fire and Heat: Unlocking the Secrets of Heat Treatment.
The Damascus Snowflake Pattern from the Persian Legends Collection,
Reborn on the anvil of Huaxia,
Fill a gap in the international field.
Forged by the Sky Railway, Ancient Traditions Revived
The Celestial Rail is 4.6 billion years of stardust.
Through the primeval chaos of the universe, it fell into the ancient past.
He is extremely stubborn and fiercely headstrong.
Ancient formulas are hidden; legendary techniques are lost.
Heaven's Iron Forged,
Since ancient times, it has been the pinnacle of sword forging,
It is also a lost art.
Master Kenmura
Having spent half my life poring over ancient texts in solitude,
Unravel the secrets of the ancient method of forging Celestial Iron.
This is the very essence of life and the pinnacle of the industry.
If iron is stubborn, shatter it with a thousand blows.
When the fire rages, control it using ancient methods.
Celestial iron is blended with true iron; the fusion of dissimilar materials breaks the impasse of incompatibility between gold and iron.
Forging is not merely about applying force; it is a dialogue with stardust.
Fold it repeatedly to dispel the malevolent energy of the Stellar Iron.
Forged through countless trials, it radiates the spirit of the universe.
Tempered by Fire: The Secret Teachings of Longquan
Naturally forged patterns reveal the Vistaden design.
This imprint of the universe, spanning 4.6 billion years, is irreplicable and cannot be imitated.
At the microscopic level, it is as if the Milky Way were hanging upside down.
At the macro level, it resembles a cold moon and frost.
Once the device was completed, it was launched twice aboard the Shenzhou and Shijian spacecraft for in-space validation.
It is not merely a craft, but a testament to scholarship.
It is not merely restoration, but the pinnacle of materials.
Forged by the Heavens, we rely on human ingenuity to surpass the work of the heavens and forge interstellar vessels.
Covering the Blade with Soil and Heating It
Apply the Secret Soil; Control the Quenching Realm.
Carrying on the thousand-year-old secret formulation system of Longquan.
A thin layer of clay is applied to the blade, which cools rapidly upon contact with water, resulting in an extremely hard edge.
A thick layer of soil covers the body, allowing it to cool slowly and preserving a strong, resilient spine.
A sharp blade and a supple body—two sides of the same coin,
It can be bent without breaking, and split without shattering.
Quenching Texture
Don’t rely on a ruler; trust only your eyes and heart.
Observe the color of the fire, listen to the sound of the metal, and feel the change in temperature.
It won’t burn even at high temperatures, and it won’t be undercooked even at low temperatures.
Natural blade patterns and quenching textures—neither carved nor chiseled,
It was all thanks to a chance encounter between water and fire.
Once a blade is drawn, its character is defined, and its soul comes to life.
