Received a wonderful gift from one of my Russian students, Ал Сашира Сашнева, today.
Bannerman Drawing his Saber
What is quite interesting about this painting is how the Sword Drawing technique it depicts is consistent with what we have seen before. Note for example, the position of the hand on the scabbard as he draws. It is not at the scabbard throat, but grasped midway along the suspension band. A detail seen in all other illustrations where a Dao (saber) is being draw. Also note that he is drawing with the edge down. Another apparently standard element of the Chinese Quick Sword Draw.
It is also refreshing to see just how Qing swordsmen dressed. Not in the flamboyant colors often worn by martial artists at tournaments today. But in muted grey, functional and not ostentatious.
For more about this painting of BANNERMAN TE'ER DENG CHE, see Bonham’s Auction Website-

Chinese Dao (Sabers) are slung from the waist edge down. And so when racked on a sword stand, the edge is down, not up. Edge up racking is a Japanese method of presenting Katana and is incorrect for Chinese Swords. Image is of a Cloud Ladder Unit Saber (健銳營雲梯刀圖) from the Qing Imperial Regulations.
Han Dynasty Weapons Rack with multiple types of weapons including 2 Long Swords on the top two racks.The man standing in front of the Rack has a Bow in one hand and a Hook Shield in the other.
