The complete jade sword has four jade components, namely, jade sword head, jade sword Tan (sword case), jade sword 璏, and jade sword Kua (sword 珌); The sword is bound with the scabbard by leveling the bottom. If the iron or copper sword is rusty, the brown iron or green copper often stains the bottom of the sword.
