Guan Dao

Named after the legendary general Guan Yu (Han Dynasty), this iconic polearm (2m+ long) combined a heavy curved blade with a wooden shaft for sweeping cavalry attacks. Historically used by infantry to counter horsemen, its design balanced power and control—symbolizing loyalty and martial prowess. While Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade is mythical, real Ming/Qing-era guandao became ceremonial weapons and training tools.
