We went to the Wuxi "Three Kingdoms" TV and Movie Sets and witnessed a battle. It was a war reenactment circa sometime right after the end of the Han Dynasty. There were lots of swords, spears (Stiles loves the spears) and big silver balls at the end of sticks. Lots of warriors fake-died and had to be carried off the battle field. The leader of one clan looked a strikingly similar to The Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
P.S. I miss Wikipedia.
