There are some examples listed in the Huangchao Liqi Tushi, but I have never seen an actual one. I have the vague impression they have a long history, but I don't know it. My understanding is they were developed to imitate bamboo, which could be used as a screen for arrows as well as a way to tangle weapons.

I have only seen the old illustrations.
