There are generally two kinds of armor in Han Dynasty. From the armor warrior figurines unearthed in Yangjiawan, Xianyang, Shaanxi, we can see two armor styles. One is armor binding, which adopts rectangular armor pieces, and the breastplate and the carapace are connected by straps at the shoulders, and some of them also add shoulders, which is the main form of armor in Han Dynasty. Another nail uses scales (in the waist, shoulders and other moving parts, or in the form of nails). One-inch-long armor is generally made of more than 600 pieces of iron, weighing more than 16 kg, while fish scales are made of 2000~3000 pieces of iron, weighing more than 16 kg. Among the Han dynasty armor unearthed in China at present, the heaviest one is a set of armor unearthed in Fuyang, Anhui Province, which consists of 3008 pieces and weighs more than 20 kilograms. Generally speaking, the armor of heavy cavalry in the Western Middle Ages is about 20 kilograms, and more than 35 kilograms of armor is no longer used for actual combat, but only for ceremonies or competitions. According to the Han bamboo slips unearthed in Juyan, we can clearly know that the armored armor of the Han Dynasty was generally equipped at that time, which can be said to be standard equipment. With such equipment, it was only later that the famous Chen Tang said that "one Han changed into five Hu".
By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the shape of armor had been further developed. In addition to bulletproof vests, basin collars and shawls, there are also "magpie tails" and "leg skirts" to protect the legs, adding protection parts. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the armor was made by using the hundred steelmaking techniques, which made the armor more and more refined. Chen Lin's Wu Ku Fu describes this kind of armor in this way: "If you sell it, you will be strong, and if you get it, you will be fine. If you ask the teacher to travel, wei ren will sew it, and the feathers will be green and burn it. "
