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:
“The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“The fact remains that the human being in early childhood learns to consider one or the other aspect of bodily function as evil, shameful, or unsafe. There is not a culture which does not use a combination of these devils to develop, by way of counterpoint, its own style of faith, pride, certainty, and initiative.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
