Introduction of the Fangtian Painted Halberd
Fangtian Painted Halberd is the name of an ancient cold weapon that combines the functions of a spear and a yi into one, with a metal tip at one end of the halberd shaft, and a sharp crescent shaped blade on one side, which is connected to the tip of the spear by two twigs, and which can be used for stabbing as well as for cutting.
Historically, the square halberd is usually a ceremonial object, less often used in combat, but it does not mean that it can not be used in combat, just because it is very high requirements for the user.
For the weight and size of the Fangtian Painted Halberd, "Dangkou Zhi" records that it weighs twenty-four pounds, and "Three Kingdoms Zhi Pingtan" records that it is one and two feet long. It is made of high-carbon steel, and the specific dimensions are 365 centimeters in total length, 30 centimeters in width, weighing 2,500 grams, with a handle length of 26 centimeters, a blade length of 39 centimeters, and a blade thickness of 8 centimeters.
European versions of the halberd
Unlike China, most European versions of the halberd have a combination of an axe and a spear, with the Swiss being the most famous. The European halberd is about 2 to 3 meters long and can perform many functions such as stabbing, picking, chopping, slashing and hooking. The European halberd is similar to the Chinese in one place, the draft labor time, and it has a heavy head that limits the length.
The halberd was only a secondary weapon to the spear in Europe because it was not very easy to use.

It is rumored that the Fangtian Painted Halberd was the weapon of Lv Fang and Guo Sheng, and there is another story in history about Lv Fang, Guo Sheng and the Fangtian Painted Halberd, and I've heard that Lv Fang and Guo Sheng's weapons were very fancy, and that each of them wrapped a flashy money panther's tail and a money five-color streamer around the Fangtian Painted Halberd, and that's why their appearances tended to draw big laughs.
While the two of them were fighting, the velvet tapestries of their halberds were tangled together, so the two of them were pretty much just ornaments around Song Jiang on the battlefield.
