Japan / China: The Chinese God of War, Guan Yu, represented as a samurai in an ukiyo-e woodblock print by Toyokuni I (1769-1825).

Guan Yu (died 219), style name Yunchang, was a general serving under the warlord Liu Bei in the late Eastern Han Dynasty of China. He played a significant role in the civil war that led to the collapse of the Han Dynasty and the establishment of the state of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period, of which Liu Bei was the first emperor. As one of the best known Chinese historical figures throughout East Asia, Guan's true life stories have largely given way to fictionalised ones, most of which are found in the historical novel 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' or passed down the generations, in which his deeds and moral qualities have been lionised. Guan is respected as an epitome of loyalty and righteousness. Guan was deified as early as the Sui Dynasty and is still worshipped by many Chinese people today, especially in southern China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and among many overseas Chinese communities. He is a figure in Chinese folk religion, popular Confucianism, Taoism, and Chinese Buddhism, and small shrines to Guan are almost ubiquitous in traditional Chinese shops and restaurants.

Título:
Japan / China: The Chinese God of War, Guan Yu, represented as a samurai in an ukiyo-e woodblock print by Toyokuni I (1769-1825).
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Guan Yu (fallecido en 219), nombre artístico Yunchang, fue un general al servicio del señor de la guerra Liu Bei a finales de la dinastía Han oriental de China. Desempeñó un papel importante en la guerra civil que condujo al colapso de la dinastía Han y al establecimiento del estado de Shu Han en el período de los Tres Reinos, del que Liu Bei fue el primer emperador. Como una de las figuras históricas chinas más conocidas en toda Asia oriental, las historias de la vida real de Guan han dado paso en gran medida a las ficticias, la mayoría de las cuales se encuentran en la novela histórica "Romance de los Tres Reinos" o se transmiten de generación en generación, en las que se han ensalzado sus actos y cualidades morales. Guan es respetado como un epítome de lealtad y rectitud. Guan fue deificado ya en la dinastía Sui y todavía es venerado por muchos chinos en la actualidad, especialmente en el sur de China, Taiwán, Hong Kong y entre muchas comunidades chinas de ultramar. Es una figura de la religión popular china, del confucianismo popular, del taoísmo y del budismo chino, y los pequeños santuarios dedicados a Guan son casi omnipresentes en las tiendas y restaurantes tradicionales chinos.
