There is a long history behind the emergence of weapons in ancient China. In the Shaolin Temples, new fighting styles
were always being practiced and developed with the observation of outsiders that were then passed down through countless hours
of practice. In warfare for example, you will see that the weapons change in shape with time and the reign of new dynasties. Through
the reign of new dynasties, laws prohibiting commoners to posses weapons lead to the use of everyday work items
in conjunction with their fighting. Dynasties like the Ching was one that prohibited weapons. Thus the umbrella, stool,
staff, whip, pitchfork and sicle served as useful weapons of choice.
