The Yan Ling Dao is a symbol of the transition from the Chinese straight blade Dao to a curved Dao. It is a type of ancient Chinese sword worn at the waist (Yao Dao, 腰刀) that resembles the feathers tip of a wild goose, hence the name "Yan Ling Dao".
Most of the surviving Yan Ling Dao were produced in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The manufacturing level of the late Ming Yanling Dao was the highest, which may be related to the frequent wars at that time and the increasing reliance on weapons.
The Yan Ling Dao combines the advantages of a straight sword and a curved sword, is usually held with single hand, and weighs around 1.5 kg, making it flexible and suitable for combat.
