Swords of Ao Guang and Lady Yin

The Dragon King Ao Guang's large sword is striking, resembling a Shang Dynasty (c.16th century-11th century BC) jade weapon from the Yinxu Museum in Anyang city, Henan province. Its blade features an upward-pointed tip, serrations along the back, and a slightly tapered belly—typical characteristics of Shang Dynasty bronze daggers.

Ne Zha's mother, Lady Yin, wields a sword resembling the 2,500-year-old sword of the legendary King Goujian, housed in the Hubei Provincial Museum.
