As long ago as the Three Kingdoms period (220-280), the great strategist Zhuge Liang used a Demon-Destroying Seven-Star Sword. Later, Tao Hongjing, an alchemist active in the Liang dynasty (502-549) made a Seven-Star Sword by serrating the blade's edge with seven "stars."
「伏魔七星劍」的歷史相當久遠，早在三國時代，諸葛亮已經使用，後來梁朝的陶弘景也鑄作了一支，並在劍身上打磨出七顆星。
