In Popular Culture
- The weapon appears in several video games made by Koei, but under incorrectly translated names. For example, it is called the "Black Dragon" in Kessen 2. However, in the Dynasty Warriors series it is named the Blue Dragon Blade. This is likely because qing (青?) also means blue or blue-green, and interpretation depends on time period in question and context of use. In this particular case, Green is most accurate.
- In the anime and manga series Ikki Tousen and visual novel and anime Koihime Musō, this weapon is wielded by Unchou Kanu (関羽 雲長, Kan'u Unchō?), which is the Japanese name of Guan Yu.
- In the card game Magic: The Gathering, the weapon is portrayed in the card "Wielding the Green Dragon" from the set Portal: Three Kingdoms.
- Touhou Project character Youmu Konpaku even mentions the weapon upon defeating Hong Meiling. in which she asks why the latter does not wield it. But Youmu only hears them in stories, so this information may be on purpose.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Heroes are created by popular demand, sometimes out of the scantiest materials, or none at all.”
—Gerald W. Johnson (1890–1980)
“... there are some who, believing that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds, and that to-morrow is necessarily better than to-day, may think that if culture is a good thing we shall infallibly be found to have more of it that we had a generation since; and that if we can be shown not to have more of it, it can be shown not to be worth seeking.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
