Emei Daggers


Emei daggers (Emei Ci) appeared as a weapon in the martial arts at the end of the Qing Dynasty in the Emei Mountains (hence the name). The weapon is about 30 cm long. A central ring located on the middle of the hand makes it possible to turn the points.
Emei's daggers (or knives) Due to the shape of a woman's hair, would have been created by women. Moreover, because of her lightness, she was the weapon of women. This weapon was representative of a sect.
The shape represents 64 movements that correspond to the 64 hexagrams of Yi King.
