langxian

A lang xian, which can be translated as "wolf brush" or "wolf bamboo" or "multiple tipped bamboo spear" was a branched, multi-tipped spear with spikes on the branches made of bamboo or iron. The blades could be dipped in poison. The lang xian was a weapon well suited for defense, as it would be difficult for an opponent to assault the wielder without risking contact with the blades. It was used by Ming Dynasty sailors as protection against Japanese pirates.
