The Golden Dragon Scissors are the formidable treasure Zhao Gongming borrows from the Three Xiaos in Investiture of the Gods. They are not ordinary metal shears enlarged into a weapon; the novel defines them through paired dragon bodies that close with the logic of scissors.
Chapter 47 has Zhao Gongming visit the Three Immortals Island and request the treasure. Its verse describes two dragons joined head to head and tail to tail, descending together when released. Zhao uses it after earlier reversals, and its arrival radically raises the danger of the contest.
The object’s identity rests on pairing, convergence, and irresistible cutting force. Artwork can show two golden dragon forms composing the jaws and handles, while the article preserves its narrative ownership: it belongs to the Three Xiaos’ treasure world but becomes famous through Zhao Gongming’s use.
