The figure of Guan Gong, sitting on a square seat covered with tiger skin, presents a solemn look. With his head wrapped in a scarf, the broad-round-faced handsome figure wears a long robe, an amour, a jade belt, and long boots. His hands, covered in sleeves, rest on the knees.
Guan Gong, or "Guan Yu", also known as "Sacred Warrior", "Guandi", "Guan God of Wealth", etc., is the embodiment of "loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and courage", the traditional moral spirit of the Chinese nation. He is regarded by the common people as an almighty god who slays demons to protect the country, suppresses the bandits, removes the plague, avoids disasters, and makes people rich.
