In the Beginning (1644) the Qin dynasty only allowed the Green Standard Army to use the Guandao. This Army was like a police force used to suffocate revolts and eliminate political opponents, like the Oprichnik of the Tzar. They fight very good in the Revolt of the Three Feudatories (1673-1681).

After the Kiangxi Reforms of the Military, the Guandao was mostly used for martial artist in training, royal bodyguards and cultural display.
