The oldest undisputed depiction of the [[junk rig]] is from the [[Bayon temple]] ({{circa|12th to 13th century}}) of [[Angkor Thom]], [[Cambodia]], which shows a ship with a keel and a sternpost and identifies it as Southeast Asian.<ref name=":12">{{Cite book|last=Burningham|first=Nick|year=2019|title=Early Global Interconnectivity across the Indian Ocean World, Volume II: Exchange of Ideas, Religions, and Technologies|location=Cham|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|editor-last=Schottenhammer|editor-first=Angela|pages=141–201|chapter=Chapter 6: Shipping of the Indian Ocean World}}</ref>{{Rp|188-189}}{{Rp|458}}<ref>{{cite thesis|last=Inglis|first=Douglas Andrew|date=2014|title=The Borobudur Vessels in Context|publisher=Texas A&M University}}</ref> Historians Paul Johnstone and [[Joseph Needham]] suggest an Austronesian (specifically [[Indonesia]]n) origin of the rig.<ref name="Jett">{{cite book |last1=Jett |first1=Stephen C. |title=Ancient Ocean Crossings: Reconsidering the Case for Contacts with the Pre-Columbian Americas |date=2017 |publisher=University of Alabama Press |location=Tuscaloosa |isbn=9780817319397}}</ref>{{Rp|179}}<ref name="needham volume 4 part 3 4642">Needham, Joseph (1971).

In its most traditional form the junk rig is carried on an unstayed mast (i.e. a mast without [[Shroud (sailing)|shrouds]] or [[Stays (nautical)|stays]], supported only on the step at the keelson and the partners); however, standing rigging of some kind is not uncommon. It is typical to run the halyards (lines used to raise and lower the sail) and [[Sheet (sailing)|sheets]] (lines used to trim the sail) to the [[companionway]] on a junk-rigged boat. This means that typical sailhandling can be performed from the relative safety of the cockpit, or even while the crew is below deck.{{Citation needed|date=May 2024}}

Junk sails are typically carried on a mast which rakes (slants) forward a few degrees from vertical. This causes the sail to swing outwards, absent wind pushing it, which makes the use of a [[preventer|preventer (a line to keep the sail extended)]] unnecessary.{{Citation needed|date=May 2024}}
