Niel,
My thoughts are ornamental on the polearms, though in motion and martial use the tassle which sits in this hole may have a martial application like the tassle on the Jian, but you'd have to ask practicioners of the Yan Yue Dao to confirm this. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hinese+halberd http://thomaschen.freewebspace.com/photo4.html Gav |

Thanks for your input Gavin, and the links too. Here is a picture of a tasseled guan dao head from the Thomas Chen site linked above (Thank you Mr. Chen).

Hey Ren Ren,
Welcome to the forum. Nice post. What amazingly useful looking resource did the illustration come from? I had often seen reference to the hole for suspension, but it is nice to see an example from a period text. It seems the blade hole is quite versatile. Josh |

Hey Josh!
Thanks for kind words! As far as I know, the illustration has got to the Internet from the book "Connaissance du Viet-Nam" by P. Huard & M. Durand Ren Ren P.S. Excuse my English, I use the electronic translator |
