《周礼·冬官考工记·磬氏&车人》
击兵的柄从上到下同样坚劲，手握处要细，手握处细攻击敌人就迅疾；刺兵的柄从上到下同样坚劲，手握处要稍大而重，手握处稍大而重就能迫近敌人，迫近敌人就能准确命中，因此能够攻击敌人。
兵同强，举围欲细，细则校。刺兵同强，举围欲重，重欲傅人，傅人则密，是故侵之。
The handles of striking weapons were equally strong from top to bottom, and the grip should be thin. With a thin grip, attacking the enemy would be swift. The handles of piercing weapons were equally strong from top to bottom, and the grip should be slightly larger and heavier. With a slightly larger and heavier grip, one could get close to the enemy, and getting close to the enemy would result in accurate hits. Therefore, one could attack the enemy.
