Green Dragon Crescent Blade

[citation needed] In the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the blade is forged by a local blacksmith using steel sponsored by Zhang Shiping (張世平), a merchant sympathetic to Liu Bei's cause.

It is highly questionable whether Guan Yu actually wielded the Green Dragon or whether it was merely part of the myths surrounding him.

Valid historical texts from his time period made no mention of him or anyone wielding a similar weapon.

A weapon weighing about 44 kg (97 lb), purported to be the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, is on display at the Purple Cloud Temple in China today.

He had it forged after he met Liu Bei and Zhang Fei but before he made the Oath of the Peach Garden.
