The Qing dynasty was the was the last imperial dynasty of China, the final dynastic era after centuries of dynastic rule. Just as transitions of power characterize Chinese history, imperial China is also defined by wars, conquest, and battle. Across years of military conflict, several bladed Chinese weapons were deployed on the battlefield. This Qing Dynasty Sword is a Chinese dao sword that resembles the ancient Chinese swords used during imperial China! With a sharp, hand-forged blade and a beautiful scabbard, this authentic Chinese sword represents the rich history of imperial Chinese swords and weapons.

Multiple types of swords and blades were present on the battlefield during Chinese history. Among the four traditional Chinese weapons, the dao sword is considered “The General of Weapons.” While the gun (staff), qiang (spear), and jian (Chinese long sword) were common Chinese imperial weapons, daos gained popularity over jians as close combat swords. With curved single-edged blades, liuyedao swords could thrust, cut, and slash and were paired with shields. The liuyedao (willow-leaf saber) was used as a sidearm by both cavalry and infantry soldiers during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Some schools of Chinese martial arts trained with liuyedaos, and modern wushu involves the use of dao swords in daoshu routines. This hand-forged Chinese sword reflects the history of Chinese sabers in its design.
