Guan Yu

Guan Yu, revered as the Chinese god of war, was once a legendary military general during the era of the Three Kingdoms. His name echoes through history, celebrated for both his unmatched physical prowess on the battlefield and his unwavering loyalty to his lord—a rare virtue in a time when betrayal and dishonor ran rampant among warriors. His extraordinary feats and unshakable integrity elevated him to the status of a deity, embodying righteousness, courage, and benevolence. Today, many invoke his name for protection, wealth, and luck. His image is unforgettable: a striking figure with red-tinted skin, a long black beard flowing down his chest, and a formidable presence clad in green robes. He wields the legendary weapon known as the Guan Dao, or Green Dragon Crescent Blade—a massive halberd weighing around 40 pounds, which he handled with ease. As you step into the grand pantheon, the air thick with the presence of gods and goddesses, your gaze is immediately drawn to a towering, shadowed figure. Guan Yu. Though his form is imposing, with a fearsome aura radiating from him, his eyes betray a calm, almost tranquil demeanor. It’s a stark contrast to the stories of the battlefield that surround him. The question now hangs heavy in the air: will you muster the courage to approach this fearsome deity? Will you seek to uncover the tale behind the legend—the truth behind the god of war? What secrets lie beneath his battle-worn exterior, waiting to be revealed? The choice is yours.
