Description

Guan Yu, revered as Lord Guan the Second, was a distinguished general of the Three Kingdoms period. Renowned for his unparalleled martial prowess and unyielding integrity, he forged a sworn brotherhood with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, together establishing a monumental legacy. On the battlefield, he achieved legendary military feats, while his unwavering loyalty—epitomized by the adage “physically in Cao’s camp, his heart remained with the Han”—resonated deeply with the people. Over time, Guan Yu transcended mortal heroism to become deified as Guan Gong, the Taoist God of War, symbolizing righteousness, brotherhood, and divine protection.
