Fuck Yeah Chinese Myths! - used to only be about Chinese myths, but then I got carried away so now it’s also about Chinese history, culture, and everything else that is in some way related to China. I’m usually busy with work, but I will try to update on Wednesdays and Fridays. Have fun browsing! P.S. I can’t follow anyone back because this blog isn’t my main blog, but I do appreciate each and every follow and plug! Any questions or comments? Email fychinesemyths[AT]gmail[DOT]com

See, what I really like about the sword is the Taotie yazi motif here on the handle. EDIT: One of my followers, @khancrackers , pointed out that the symbol on the sword is a yazi, which, accor...
