The Script error: No such module "lang". (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) is a Korean weapon which is first described in the Muyesinbo, a Korean martial arts manual published in 1759. It later also found its way into the Muyedobotongji (1791).
The weapon is a spear with a flag attached to the pole. The Script error: No such module "lang". is also called Script error: No such module "lang". (단창), which means 'short spear'. It is typically around Script error: No such module "convert". long. The blade measures about Script error: No such module "convert". in length. These spears were generally used for ceremonial or escort purposes.[1]
Another chapter in the Muyedobotongji is also called Script error: No such module "lang". (騎槍), but deals with techniques for using the spear from atop a horse. The hanja is different, 旗 refers to a banner or flag, whereas 騎 refers to riding a horse (i.e.. cavalry vs. infantry).
