Legend has it that the nunchaku was founded by Zhao Kuangyin, the great ancestor of the Song Dynasty, and was originally known as the big Panlong stick (also known as the big sweeper in the northern part of the country in modern times) and the small Panlong stick (the small sweeper). But at that time, the big Panlong stick was shorter at one end and longer at the other end, which was specially designed to sweep the enemy's horse feet, broken armor soldiers or hard weapons, so as to make them incapable of fighting. Later on, this weapon was spread from the south to the Philippines and from the east to Japan. Due to historical changes, the nunchaku was changed to its current form: 72cm in length, each section of the stick is 30cm long, with a chain or nylon rope in the middle, about 12cm long.
