All Chinese polearms fall under the category of Dadao, which literally means “big knife (大刀).” While the character dao is conventionally translated as “knife,” it may refer to any large blade that is curved. The character pu (朴) in Pudao can mean “simple” or “unadorned,” or even “sincere.” Today, Pudao refers to the generic polearm, which is a two-handed weapon consisting of a broad steel blade mounted on a wood or metal shaft.
