Green Dragon Crescent Blade

Parameter

About

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade, also known as Qinglong Yanyuedao, is one of the most iconic weapons in Chinese history. Closely associated with Guan Yu, it represents loyalty, righteousness, courage, and the moral code of the Eastern warrior. Rather than recreating a battlefield weapon, this piece reinterprets the legendary blade as a refined Chinese metal weapon ornament, designed for display, collection, and contemplation.

The form of the blade follows the traditional crescent profile, symbolizing strength balanced with restraint. Its curved edge suggests controlled power rather than aggression, while the dragon motif carved along the blade introduces movement and spirit into the design. The raised dragon head near the blade’s base acts as a symbolic guardian, reflecting the belief that true strength lies in protection and moral clarity. As a Guan Yu weapon inspired collectible, the piece carries both historical gravity and spiritual meaning.

The proportions are carefully refined to preserve the presence of a polearm while remaining suitable as a miniature Chinese polearm collectible. It fits naturally on desks, shelves, or display cabinets, either as a standalone piece or paired with a Guan Yu figurine. The object invites handling and close inspection, allowing collectors to appreciate the layered metal surfaces, engraved details, and subtle weight that distinguish it from mass-produced decor.
