Ruyi Jingu Bang (Chinese: 如意金箍棒; pinyin: Rúyì Jīngū Bàng; Wade–Giles: Ju2-yi4 Chin1-ku1-pang4), or simply Ruyi Bang or Jingu Bang, is the poetic name of a magical staff wielded by the immortal monkey Sun Wukong in the 16th-century classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. Anthony Yu translated the name simply as "The Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod,"[1] while W.J.F. Jenner translates it as the "As-You-Will Gold-Banded Cudgel."[2]
