Chinese Name:燕尾鈚箭头 (Yànwěi Pí Jiàntóu)
Also known as: Swallow Tail Arrowhead
The Yànwěi Pí Jiàntóu, or Swallow Tail Arrowhead, was a specialized hunting tip used during Qing imperial summer hunts (xiàshòu 夏狩)—ceremonial expeditions that kept elite troops sharp and ready.
Designed for maneuverability in dense underbrush, this arrowhead’s wide, blunt-edged form allowed for quick, humane takedowns of small game like birds, hares, and squirrels. Its design minimized over-penetration, preserving valuable pelts and meat. This made the arrowhead not just a practical hunting tool but also a symbol of imperial discipline and precision.
