Generate Chinese sword names for the straight jian and the single-edged dao: swords of legend such as Ganjiang and Zhanlu, poetic names like Frost Lotus Jian and Cold Moon Saber, and pinyin names with a gloss such as Qingfeng (Clear Wind). Paired swords, sect heirlooms, flying swords and soldiers' sabers are in the mix.

About Chinese sword names

A Chinese sword name starts with which sword it is. The jian is straight and double-edged, the sword of scholars, officers and Daoist priests. The dao is single-edged and often curved, the saber of soldiers, guards and outlaws. The oldest names belong to legend: the Yuejue Shu credits the smith Ou Yezi with five swords made for the King of Yue (Zhanlu, Chunjun, Shengxie, Yuchang and Juque), and the paired swords Ganjiang and Moye carry the names of the husband and wife said to have forged them.

About thirty-five of the 1,000 names are swords of legend and record like these, in pinyin without tone marks, with a gloss where the meaning is plain. Four more come from novels and are marked literary. Another thirty or so are real types of sword and saber, such as Liuye Dao (Willow-Leaf Saber).

Everything else is invented in the style of translated fiction. Most names set two images side by side (Frost Lotus Jian, Cold Moon Saber), record a deed (River-Parting Saber), count something (Nine Heavens Edge) or give a pinyin name with its gloss, such as Tingxue (Listening to Snow). The invented names also cover paired swords, sect heirlooms, cultivators' flying swords, court and ritual blades, forbidden swords and plain garrison sabers.

How to choose Chinese sword names

  • Decide jian or dao first. A jian suits a scholar, a sect disciple, a priest or an officer; a dao suits a soldier, an escort guard or a bandit chief. A name ending in Jian on a curved saber reads as a mistake to anyone who knows the words.
  • Keep a pinyin name and its gloss together the first time the blade appears, for example Hanyue (Cold Moon), then use the pinyin alone.
  • Give paired swords names that answer each other, such as Frost and Flame or Left Crane, Right Crane, and decide who carries which.
  • Match the register to the owner. Mandate of Heaven Jian belongs in a throne room and Conscript's Notched Saber on a rack in a border fort. A humble name on a famous blade can work; the reverse rarely does.
  • The swords of legend carry their own stories. If your blade is not the Ganjiang or the Zhanlu, pick an invented name and let a character compare it to the legend instead.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a jian and a dao?

A jian is a straight, double-edged sword. A dao is a single-edged blade, often curved, and is usually translated as saber. A common saying calls the jian the gentleman of weapons and the dao the general of weapons. In this list a name that ends in Jian or Sword is a straight sword and a name that ends in Dao or Saber is single-edged.

Which names in the list are real legendary swords?

About thirty-five. They include Ganjiang and Moye, the five swords credited to Ou Yezi (Zhanlu, Chunjun, Shengxie, Yuchang, Juque), Longyuan, Tai'e, Gongbu and Chixiao, the three swords of the Liezi (Hanguang, Chengying, Xiaolian), and swords that later collections give to Sun Quan (Baihong, Zidian, Bixie, Liuxing) and to the King of Yue (Yanri, Duanshui, Miehun, Quexie, Zhengang). The Sword of King Goujian of Yue is a real bronze sword, found in a tomb in Hubei in 1965. Four names, such as Yitian Jian, come from novels and are marked literary.

Can I use these names in a wuxia or xianxia story or a game?

Yes, that is what the invented names are for. They follow the patterns translated wuxia and xianxia fiction uses for blades, such as Thousand-Li Returning Light for a cultivator's flying sword or Sect Leader's Seal Sword for an heirloom. The list was not compared with any novel or game, so search a name yourself before you publish with it.

How do the pinyin names with a gloss work?

The pinyin gives the Chinese name without tone marks and the parentheses give its meaning in English, as in Qingfeng (Clear Wind) or Canyue Dao (Waning Moon Saber). Most swords of legend have a name of two syllables, so the short pinyin names follow the classical pattern. Add Jian or Dao when you want the type of blade in the name.
