The steel whip was an ancient weapon. The guardian deity King Lingguan enshrined in the Lingguan Hall of Wudang Mountain used this weapon. The installation of steel whips in the Lingguan Hall is mainly to demonstrate the might and magic power of Wang Lingguan. In the Taoist divine system, Wang Lingguan is the deity who guards the Dharma and supervises the altars. He is responsible for inspecting both heaven and earth. All those who break the law, violate discipline, or are disloyal and unfilial will be punished by him.
