In the Biography of Li Shimin in the Ming Dynasty, "Order the samurai to pounce on the golden melon" is a formal record of the "golden melon warrior". The so-called "golden melon warrior" refers to the ceremonial soldiers and guards on the emperor's golden palace. Because the head of the long pole holding the weapon is melon-shaped, it is named, but it is not known whether this weapon is made of gold. In the late Qing Dynasty, when the revolutionary party chose the national flag to overthrow the new regime after the Qing Dynasty, some people put forward the plan of "golden melon axe and conspiracy flag", and made it clear that "golden melon" symbolized the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, while axe and conspiracy symbolized the handsome power.

In addition to melons, there are other golden weapons in ancient romance novels. For example, a famous gun with high appearance rate is also worth mentioning. It is the "Tiger Head Jenkin Gun". The tiger-headed Zhan Jin gun in the novel is an all-powerful weapon on the battlefield. Ma Chao in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Qin Qiong in Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, Gao Chong in Biography of Yue Fei and Chang Yuchun in Ming Yinglie all used this golden gun.

Zhang is a famous storyteller in Suzhou. In his work "The History of the Three Kingdoms", he vividly said that "the body of a tiger's head is made of cold iron and is one foot three feet long. The spear head is shaped like a black beard, and the tiger's mouth swallows the blade. The gun body is gold-plated and made of platinum. Extremely sharp, not afraid of fire, not afraid of fine iron. " Of course, this is only the novelist's exaggerated artistic processing, because even if the gun is really made of platinum, it is unlikely to achieve the "extremely sharp" effect. From the perspective of actual combat, casting weapons with gold is a typical waste of money.

Readers who have read Jin Yong's novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes all know the story that Guo Jing was named "Golden Knife Xu" by Temujin. However, although there was no "Golden Knife Xu" in the Mongolian Empire in history, it was only a fictional identity of the novel, and the word "Golden Knife" was only used to highlight the most expensive identity.

The weapons of the gods in Greek mythology are often related to gold. For example, Poseidon rode in a golden chariot driven by a white horse, and his representative weapon "Poseidon Trident" was often painted gold. However, myth is just a myth after all. Living in reality, West Renye Fang also has to face the fact that gold is not suitable for making weapons. Judging from their handed down cultural relics, the form of gold used as a weapon is similar to that of ancient China. For example, a famous sword named "Strange Vajus" now hidden in the Louvre Museum ranks among the three European swords.

According to the epic poem Song of Roland, this sword is the sword of Charlemagne, king of Caroline dynasty in the Frankish kingdom, and its name comes from the cry of the Frankish army in the war. There is also a legend that the blade of "Blaming Valjous" was cast by the tip of the "Lance of Lang Girnus" that was pierced into Jesus when he was suffering, so it was regarded as a sacred object and became one of the treasures that must appear at the coronation ceremony of the French king. Resentment against Varsus, also known as Jin Jian, is expected by later generations for the significance of literature. This sword is often described as pure gold in works of art, but in fact only the hilt is gold.
