Description
Guan Yu (died January or February 220), courtesy name Yunchang. He was a Chinese military general serving under the warlord Liu Bei during late Eastern Han dynasty of China.
Along with Zhang Fei, they shared a brotherly relationship with Liu Bei. They accompanied him on most of his early exploits. Guan Yu played a significant role in the events leading up to the end of the Han dynasty. As well as the establishment of Liu Bei’s state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period.
Guan Yu’s life was lionised and his achievements glorified after his death that he was deified during the Sui dynasty. Through generations of storytelling, culminating in the 14th-century historical novel of the Three Kingdoms, his deeds and moral qualities have been given immense emphasis, making Guan Yu one of East Asia’s most popular paradigms of loyalty and righteousness. He is still worshipped by many Chinese people today.
