Pei Min, one of the Three Absolutes of the Great Tang
Pei Min was one of the Three Wonders of the Tang Dynasty and was known as the Sword Saint of the Tang Dynasty. His swordsmanship was conferred as one of the Three Unique Skills by Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty, and was on par with Li Bai's poetry and Zhang Xu's cursive script. Pei Min was not only skilled in swordsmanship, but he had also participated in the war against the Tubo and Khitans. His swordsmanship was described as superb, and it was said that he could throw a sword into the clouds. It was hundreds of feet high, and his swordsmanship was like lightning shooting down, making the spectators marvel. However, even though Pei Min was famous at the time, he was not as well-known as Li Bai and Zhang Xu. This might be because swordsmanship was not as important as poetry and calligraphy in the era of cold weapons, and there were not many swordsmen who were truly capable. Hence, Pei Min's reputation was relatively low.
