"Ratio" of weapons of "civilian" S.Chinese... ?

I just looked up "Rebels and Revolutionaries in Northern China" on Amazon and it was very reasonably priced. I was also recommended "Rebellion and Its Enemies in Late Imperial China: Militarization and Social Structure, 1796-1864" by Philip Kuhn in relation to the use of village militias in warfare. That is also available on Amazon. I'm hoping both of these will help enhance my studies in 19th century Chinese swords.

Thanks for all the pointers so far! I'll check those books out.

And I'm hoping these'll help me know more about my ancestors! Thanks for contributing to this thread.
