Why do we not have a Han Infantry Swordsman ? In most, if not all depictions of the era, sword and helbs alongside crossbows is by and large the highlight of their weapons. "The jian was mentioned as one of the "Five Weapons" during the Han dynasty, the other four being dao, spear, halberd, and staff. Another version of the Five Weapons lists the bow and crossbow as one weapon, the jian and dao as one weapon, in addition to halberd, shield, and armour." - Wikipedia article on Han Military
