The Dragon King Sword Qiankun (Heaven and Earth) is a handcrafted full tang Chinese collector sword featuring a steel blade and metal integrated fittings — named Qiankun for the two primordial forces of the I Ching: Qian (Heaven/Yang) and Kun (Earth/Yin). The most cosmologically profound piece in the Dragon King Sword series — a sword that holds the entire universe within its name. Ships from US warehouse.
Qiankun — The Universe in Two Characters
Qiankun (Heaven and Earth) is the most cosmologically profound name in the Dragon King Sword series. Qian is the first hexagram of the I Ching — six unbroken yang lines, the pure expression of Heaven and creative force. The dragon is the symbol of Qian; the I Ching’s commentary on Qian is called "the dragon." Kun is the second hexagram — six broken yin lines, the pure expression of Earth and receptive force. Together, Qian and Kun mean the universe, the cosmos, the totality of all existence. In Chinese culture, Qiankun is used to mean the entire world and the complete order of things.
Dragon King — Supreme Ruler of the Seas
The Dragon King (Long Wang) is the supreme ruler of the seas in Chinese mythology — a divine being who commands the waters, controls rain and storms, and governs the underwater palace. The Dragon King Sword series presents seven aspects of this mythological figure. Qiankun is the most ambitious — a sword that claims the entire universe as its domain.
