It is known as one of the four major weapons, along with the ''gun'' (staff), '' dao'' (sabre), and the '' jian'' (straight sword), called in this group "The King of Weapons". Common features of the Chinese spear are the leaf-shaped blade and red horse-hair tassel lashed just below. The tassel shows elite troop status. It also serves a tactical purpose.

The length varied from around long, up to in length. Acco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
