Staff vs. Bench
In the 1950s, the carrying poles were commonly seen in Hong Kong. Commoners used carrying poles by hooking items onto either one or boths sides, balancing the pole on their shoulders for support. These poles could also be used as a weapon in the form of a staff, utilized against other weapons with particular combating techniques. The carrying pole is no longer commonly used therefore a staff is used in place of it.
