People Publishing House of Sports – Chen Style Halberd (chi)

Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei performs the Guan Dao form.
Spring and Autumn Falchion are other names for this type.
The current guan dao used by martial artists today often weighs between 2 and 10 kg, although Guan Yu’s original guan dao is estimated to weigh between 50 and 100 kg.
During the Qing era, certain extremely heavy versions of guan dao were manufactured for use in military examinations: to pass, a candidate had to be able to handle a weapon weighing 80, 100, or 120 jin (48, 60, or 72 kg).
Based on some of these cases, the weight of Guan Yu’s sword was most likely underestimated.
