Outstanding ‼️ So in the Cantonese dialect these weapons are pronounced: Gwan = Pole/Staff. Cheung = Spear. Dao = Saber. Gim = Sword. The Staff and Saber are similar in application, and the Spear and Sword are similar in application. The Saff (Gwan) and the Saber ( Dao) are similar in that, the main application/techniques of both weapons involves Swinging type of movements as opposed to thrusting type of movements. Many schools with teach students Saber routines right after learning Staff, because the movements are identical. One Weapon is for Striking and the other is for Slashing/Cutting. The Spear (Cheung) and the Sword (Gim) primary technique is the Thrust ie Stabbing type method. The energy of both weapons is nearly the same in that, these two weapons require finesse in its usage as the movements are Quick, Light and Agile. In my opinion, the Spear is considered the King of Weapons because it has all the Qualities of the other Three in addition to it's own. Spear (Cheung): The Striking ability of the Staff. The Slashing ability of the Saber. The Thrusting ability of the Sword. Along with it's own Lightness and Flexibility, being able to attack from both ends, as well as using the shaft at Short range. 💥💥💥💥

There is an Old chinese saying that says: it takes 300 days to master the broadsword, 3000 days to master the (red-tassle) spear and 10000 days to master the double-edged sword. (7star sword). No doubt the iron-fan is king!

Yea, even in Cantonese the word for “martial arts” and “dancing” are the same. Dancing for example is 跳舞, the word 舞 is the same as 武術. Rather than Wu, it is call Mo, so dancing is Tel-Mo, and martial arts is Mo-Sut.

My first though for a spear practitioner would be Zhao Zi Long (aka Zhao Yun). He was a general during the 3 kingdoms period serving with Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu (the big guy with the beard and the weapon which looked like a huge knife on a pole (yan yue dao or guan dao). Anyway one of the things he was famous for was his skill with the spear and holding off a large contingent of enemy forces at the battle of changban (I have visited the original battle site several times when I lived close by (as in less than an hour to cycle). tbh Jingzhou - about 2 hours by car is a lot more interesting as you can still explorer the ancient city walls (unless things have changed over the past few decades). I did practice with the steel chain whip for a while whilst living over there but after losing a few teeth and hitting myself way too many times I stopped and common sense prevailed. I still have it hung up on the wall in my gym at home.

Broadsword is a terrible choice of translation in your research and only perpetuates misuse of this term. A quick google shows a broadsword is a straight and long weapon, that is double edged. A better term for Dao is Saber, which is what’s used for chopping and slashing. Somehow the “broadsword” usage came into being only among Chinese weapons stores selling to English speakers, and the misuse only stays alive by people who know absolutely nothing about weapons or Chinese culture

Wodao is the kind of blade that you'll see in the Northeastern parts of China back then as it's heavily influenced by the Koreans or you can say that it's directly brought into China by the Koreans. No one could actually say when the Wodao was implemented as some said that it was brought into China when the "Japanese" wokou attacked southern China with their tachis and katanas that when Qi Jiguang battled them, he took tons of them and reversed them into use for his coastal patrol troops and found them very useful for both foot and cavalry usage with the extra length against the common Ming Liuyedao that the militia was using thus he brought it to the Northeast with him when he was sent to guard the Great Wall from a Manchu push. However, even during that time, the Joseon dynasty of Korea was already using the Hwando which was an even shorter Katana which fits better for one handed usage but could be used like a Katana with two hands too. With the current knowledge that we now know of that the so-called "wokou" isn't purely Japanese based, we couldn't really say who influenced who with the Wodao. However, what can be said is that the Wodao is about the length of the Hwando and is said to be inbetween the blade length of the Hwando and the Katana. Also, the Dao did change it's looks. The current form of Dao that we're often seeing in martial arts movies, dramas and even exhibition matches are all the variant that's the "Niuweidao" That kind of Dao came into China when the Manchus finally toppled the Ming and took over the empire. With that, they brought in their saber as the mainstay weaponry for the army besides the spear. However, Ming loyalist wern't happy and with the ban on weaponry for commoners with a law passed down by the Qing court, they couldn't remake the Liuyedao or whatever weaponry they wanted and for them, the best way to get weapons was to raid or murder patrol guards for their weapons and that's one of the main ways the Tiandihui or Hongmenhui, a group of Ming loyalists who often goes against the Qing to revive the Ming back into mainland China for power got their weapons. Due to the stories of their heroic actions often mentioning such weapons, modern Kungfu practitioners also took that into consideration and with the Qing also nearly in power for over 300 years before they collapsed in 1911, the Niuweudao also became the only common saber that everyone sees so sooner or later, it became the saber that only everyone knows that's commonly seen.
