I AM SURE THE VARIOUS FORMS OF THESE CEREMONIAL WEAPONS HAD SOME SPECIFIC NAMES AND MAY HAVE REPRESENTED SOME CHINESE GOD OR GAURDIAN IN SOME ANCIENT STORY. THEY PROBABLY ALSO HAD THEIR OWN SPECIAL POWER OR MEANING, I HAVE SEEN VARIATION IN THE FORMS OF THE POLEARM HEADS FROM THE SETS I HAVE SEEN BUT THERE USUALLY SEEMS TO BE THE BASIC FORMS IN EACH SET, THE MACE FORM, THE TRIDENT FORM ECT. PERHAPS THERE IS SOME ASSOCIATION WITH THE 10 IMORTALS OR SOME OTHER LEGENDARY GROUP? IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO TRACK DOWN SOME OF THE LEGENDS AND MEANINGS ASOCIATED WITH THE VARIOUS ONES AS THEIR FORMS DO HAVE OLD MEANINGS UNLIKE MODERN FANTASY WEAPONS.

I WOULD NAME THE LARGE SPIKEY MACE " CELESTIAL DRAGON MACE WHO SHATTERS THE COSMOS"
