Wind-and-fire wheels () are mêlée weapons, wielded as a pair, associated with Chinese martial arts such as baguazhang and taijiquan.〔Sun, Steve L; ''Tai Chi Chuan Wind and Fire Wheels'', S L S Publication Center, 1998 ISBN 978-0-9671182-0-8〕 Visually, they are similar to chakrams. Each wheel is a flat metal ring approximately 38 cm (about 15 inches) diameter. One quarter-segment has a padded grip with a cross-guard; the other three segments have protruding flame-styled blades. With one wheel in each hand, the practitioner can slash, stab, parry, or disarm an opponent.〔Sun, Steve L; ''Advanced Tai Chi Chuan Wind and Fire Wheels'', S L S Publication Center, 1999 ISBN 978-0-9671182-1-5〕 In the mythological story ''Fengshen Yanyi'', the Immortal Taiyi gave Nezha a wind-wheel and a fire-wheel. These were stood on whilst chanting incantations, to serve as a magic vehicle. In Popular Culture * In the videogame series ''Dynasty Warriors'', the character Sun Shangxiang uses a pair of Wind and fire wheels, apart from her appearance in Dynasty Warriors 6 in which she uses a bow and arrow. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wind and fire wheels」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
