Who invented nunchakus?

Nunchakus originated from the flail farm tools used by ancient farmers on the threshing floor.

There are two theories about the origin of nunchakus; One theory is that nunchakus originated from the "flail" farm tools used by ancient farmers on the threshing floor.

Another way of saying it is that nunchakus were created by Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu, and were originally called Big Panlong Stick (also called Big Sweep in Modern North) and Small Panlong Stick (Small Sweep). However, at that time, the big panlong stick, with one end short and the other end long, was specially used to sweep away the enemy's clues, smash the armored soldiers or hard weapons, and make them lose their combat effectiveness [this nunchakus with different lengths is also often called' tiger tail tip'], which belongs to rope weapons and soft weapons.

The modern and popular nunchakus originated in Bruce Lee. From 1970 to 1973, Bruce Lee kungfu movies began to sweep across western Europe. He used a lot of nunchakus in the movie.
