History: The nine-section whip was first used on the battlefield during the Jìn Dynasty (265-420).
Warriors were able to use the metal whip to hit, hook and bind an opponent, restrict his/her movement, and to deflect blows from other weapons. The dart was used for slashing or piercing an opponent. In some cases, it would be coated with poison. Because the whip is flexible, it could be used to strike around obstacles, including an opponent's block. Additionally, the whip chain could be folded and hidden from view, making it an easy weapon to carry and conceal.
