"Haches Les haches de bronze de l'époque Shang n'étaient probablement pas brandies sur le champ de bataille, mais plutôt utilisées,
de façon plus mesurée, comme outils tranchants ou dans le cadre de rituels. Leur forme s'inspire des haches de pierre du Néolithique."
"Axes Shang period bronze axes were probably not brandished on the battlefield, but were used with more restraint,
