This Ji consists of a long shaft, three Ge blades and a Mao (spear) blade. The long shaft is called Bi in Chinese. Bi is usually a 300-440 cm long wood shaft covered with bamboo pieces, yarned with silk threads, leather slices or rattan peels and painted with lacquer. Bi is light and pliable, usually used to assemble weapons that used in chariot battles.
