The Monk's spade is
a famous weapon of Shaolin Temple.
Though it did serve
to protect the wielder on journeys, its secondary use was to fulfill the
monk's religious responsibility to the dead by burying them. Due to its
fan-like shape, the Monk's Spade performed ably as a shovel for digging,
hence its name.
