During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many military commanders, such as Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Xia Houdun, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu. These military commanders all have high martial arts and distinctive personalities, but many people like Guan Yu, one of the five generals, not only because of his high martial arts, but also because of Guan Yu's loyalty to Liu Bei.

When Guan Yu is mentioned, many people will think of the image of him with a horizontal knife and a wonderful hand pressing on his temple, or the image of him holding Spring and Autumn Annals or Qinglong Crescent Moon Knife. There are many descriptions in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms about Guan Yu holding a dragon crescent moon blade to kill the enemy, such as "Cloud dancing broadsword, Ma Feiying." When Cheng saw it, he was taken aback and caught off guard. He was picked up by Yun Changdao and waved into two sections. ""When Yun Chang saw it, he beat his horse and danced eighty-two Jin of dragon crescent moon blade to attack Lu Bu. Three horses are fighting with each other. In thirty battles, Lu Bu cannot be defeated. "
Influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many people think that Guan Yu used a dragon crescent moon blade. So, what kind of knife is Qinglong Crescent Moon Knife? Let's take a look at the description of the dragon crescent moon blade in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "The dragon crescent moon blade made by Yunchang, also known as the cold-eyed saw, weighs 82 Jin."
According to textual research, the crescent knife first appeared in the Song Dynasty. There is a record of crescent blade in the book Wu Yao in Song Dynasty, and there are drawings of this blade. But Guan Yu was a figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so Guan Yu could not use the crescent knife as a weapon in the official history. So, what weapon did Guan Yu use in the official history?

As we all know, a person's words, deeds and articles will always be influenced by his social environment. Guan Yu, who lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, used long weapons like many direct warriors. After all, he is one inch longer and one inch stronger. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, we can also see that the weapons used by military commanders such as Ma Chao, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei are spears and halberds.
In addition, in the reflection annotated by Pei Songzhi, we can see Guan Yu's description of using a knife: "Tomorrow's meeting, please go beyond it, the feather flies and sticks to the knife straight ..."
In addition, in the book "Records of Ancient and Modern Knives and Shadows" written by the Southern Dynasties, there is such a record: "Guan Yu, in the hands of his former master, did not hesitate to use Dushan Iron as two knives, saying that ten thousand people were defeated, and his feathers cherished the knife and threw it into the water." It also proves that Guan Yu used a knife. But what knife Guan Yu used, there is no more detailed record.

To sum up, Guan Yu used a knife. Guan Yu, as a direct soldier, must use a long knife instead of a short knife, because the killing surface of the short knife is too small, which is not conducive to large-scale horse fighting. In addition, the defensive surface of the short knife is too narrow. If the infantry attacks Guan Yu, Guan Yu who uses a short knife will definitely be killed or captured.
So Guan Yu wants to use a long knife. "China Ancient Weapons" wrote: "After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the use of steel long-handled knives increased, and Guan Yu, Pound and Huang Zhong were long-handled knives."
So, what is Guan Yu's long-handled knife? This kind of knife "has straight blade, thin ridge and long handle." It is straight and has a blade, which is convenient for a military commander to assassinate the enemy immediately. The blade is thin and thick, and the handle is long, which is convenient for a military commander to cut down the enemy.
