Created by Dong Haichuan, a martial artist in Qing Dynasty. Its full name is "Eight Diagrams, Meridians, Meridians, Yuanyang, Pheasant", also known as Sun Moon Qian Kunjian or Antlers Knife, which belongs to a short weapon. Its shape is formed by overlapping two meniscus blades with two sharp points. When wielding a sword, it must be based on a pair, which looks like a mandarin duck, so it is called "mandarin duck". Although there is no difference between the styles of the two handles, the left-handed graupel is traditionally regarded as "Yin" and the right-handed graupel as "Yang".

The combination of yin and yang is similar to the saying that "slapping yin and yang and keeping the meridians straight", hence the name Meridian Yuanyang. The unique skill of Ziwu Yuanyang comes from the Eight Diagrams Palm Method.

The handle is cylindrical, six inches long, and has three-inch gun heads at both ends, which is flat and prismatic. There are semicircular blade rings at both ends of the handshake, and there are crescent-shaped hand guards in the circle. This weapon is called "tiger-piercing" because it can stop tigers.

There is an old saying: "The wolf is afraid of the pole, and the tiger is afraid of the circle." The ring blade on this weapon is the part that tigers are afraid of. Why are tigers afraid of rings? Probably related to the hunter trapping tigers at the beginning. Stopping the warrior is only one of the functions of this weapon, and the other functions are similar to those of the hand guard double hook.

3. Pen fork

Pen fork, also known as "iron ruler", first spread in Yongtai, Fujian, and then introduced to Japan. In order to be easy to carry and attack, the Japanese broke a tooth and named it "Ten Hands", which was very effective in containing the mountain city. It is named because it looks like a pen. It can be used as a short weapon or a concealed weapon.

Its shape is like a cylinder, round and straight, with no invagination on all sides, thick on the top and thin on the bottom, with or without upward lateral branches on both sides, which is convenient to carry and can be deeper than the waist. Usually each hand holds one, so it is also called "Double iron ruler". The middle handle is hexagonal, octagonal and cylindrical, and the head has a round head dominated by acupuncture and a pointed head dominated by assassination.

It can be taken forward or backward. Side branches are mostly used to block each other's weapons, so they have great advantages against swords or longer weapons. Iron ruler originated in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It is a common weapon for Chinese officials to catch fast. It is easy to carry and can be hidden at the waist. In martial arts novels, it is the standard equipment for ordinary catching fast.

4. Emei thorn

It belongs to a short weapon. According to legend, Emei thorn was created by Bai Chang, a martial arts master on Mount Emei in ancient times. Generally, both hands are used in pairs, so it is also called "Emei thorn". In ancient times, according to legend, it was also a weapon used in water combat, which could be carried in water to assassinate or destroy enemy ships, so another person who knew it rarely called it "Fenshui Emei Stab".

Emei thorn is generally about 30 cm in length and short in shape, similar to a slender thorn. The two ends of the thorn have flat diamond-shaped knife thorns similar to the spear head, and the middle of the thorn body is very sharp and thick. There is a hole in it to hold the finger sleeve of Emei thorn. When in use, the finger sleeve stung by Emei can be used to attack.

Because the finger sleeve of Emei thorn is not fixed on sashimi, it can rotate around the finger sleeve, which has the function of confusing the enemy and interfering with the judgment of the other side in the battle.

5. Lin Jiaodao

Lingjiao Dao is a weapon originally created by Song Shirong, a martial artist in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The corner knife is a double knife composed of two short knives. The handle and blade are semicircular, so the two knives can be carried together. There are two protruding branches on its leaves, which are similar to the double horns on the head of Kirin in myth, that is, similar to antlers.

The secret of Lin Jiao's Dao restraining pike lies in the extra two branches on the Dao. These two branches can hook each other's weapons up and down, or they can cross each other's weapons, making it difficult for opponents to display their pike skills. And compared with other short weapons, when they encounter long weapons, our angle knives are not dominant in distance, but because they are double knives, you can use one to open the other weapon and the other to attack at close range, so you won't suffer a lot when you encounter long weapons.

At this point, the function of Lin Jiao Dao is much more than that of ordinary Dao, with many tactical changes, easy to attack and difficult to prevent, and changeable usage, which makes people overwhelmed.

6. Gankun Sun Moon Knife

Four-door boxing is one of the representative instruments, with a total length of about two meters (it can be long or short according to the height of the practitioner). It consists of two identical arc knives and a pair of crescent-shaped hand guards in the middle, so it is also called double-headed hand guards. There is also a double-headed knife called Liuhe.

The sharp curved blade at both ends takes the image of a pair of crescent armguards in the middle section of the Japanese vessel as the moon, and Gankun symbolizes the yin and yang of heaven and earth, hence the name Gankun Sun Moon Knife. The origin of Liuhe double-headed knife, therefore, it is a double-headed knife. In actual combat, the left and right knife methods are combined with each other, so it is also called Liuhe hand guard double-headed knife.

This is the six magic weapons in the history of China. When it comes to China's weapons, it's much more than that. There are many schools of martial arts in China, and almost all ethnic groups have their own unique martial arts inheritance such as boxing tools. If we add all kinds of unique weapons and hidden weapons from these martial arts schools, the total number will exceed several hundred.
