Rau Peoples
The Rau people ( Zhuang: ), also known as Lao ( zh, c=僚人, p=Lǎorén; ), were an ethnic group of ancient China. Their descendants are the Zhuang, Buyei, Tày– Nùng and other Kra–Dai-speaking peoples.

Ji (polearm)
The ''ji'' (pronunciation: , English approximation: , ) was a Chinese polearm, sometimes translated into English as spear or halberd, though they are conceptually different weapons. They were used in one form or another for over 3000 years, from at least as early as the Zhou dynasty, until the end of the Qing dynasty. They are still used for training in many Chinese martial arts. History The ''ji'' was initially a hybrid between a Qiang (spear), spear and a dagger-axe. It was a relatively common infantry weapon in Ancient China, and was also used by cavalry and chariot (China), charioteers.

Another type was the ''fangtian ji'' (), which had a spear tip with crescent blades on both sides. They had multiple means of attack: the side blade or blades, the spear tip ...
