Mace(狼牙棒):
In Chinese, it is pronounced as: láng yá bàng，Written as:

The mace, one of the ancient Chinese weapons, is a striking weapon that comes in both long and short varieties. The head of the wooden club is shaped like a jujube seed, with iron nails embedded on it, resembling wolf fangs, hence the name “mace.” The mace has numerous iron nails affixed to its spindle-shaped wooden or iron hammerhead, which is mounted on a long handle. It was most widely used during the Song Dynasty.
The mace originally stemmed from a weapon made from a deer’s mandible bone, which was called a “deer fang club” because its shape resembled a pestle and included all the back molars. It was used as a striking weapon. In ancient times, there was a type of animal, the qíláng, which closely resembled a deer. Sometimes, the ancients did not distinguish between deer and wolves, thus the weapon was also called a mace. With the advent of metal weaponry, bone weapons gradually faded away, leaving only their names in popular oral tradition. The mace was later crafted according to this name.
Maces also vary in length. The long ones are about 170-190 cm, while the short ones are about 1 meter in length, with the hammerheads consistently between 40-60 cm.
The effectiveness of this weapon relies not only on its weight but also on the numerous sharp iron nails on the hammerhead, which often have a unique lethality. It is powerful even against enemies clad in armor and can tear through light or unarmored infantry, ripping flesh from their bodies. Moreover, its peculiar appearance, massive head, and fearsome destructive power provide a psychological intimidation regardless of the wielder’s martial skills. Therefore, on a battlefield filled with the thunder of galloping horses, this weapon was indispensable.
