Deified general Guan Yu, honored across Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism as loyalty and wealth god.

Guandi is the deified form of the Shu-Han general Guan Yu, whose loyalty and righteousness made him a cultural icon. Over centuries he was honored by Buddhists as a guardian of the Dharma, by Daoists as the Saintly Emperor Guan, and by the people as a god of war and wealth. Guan Yu temples stand across the Chinese world as shrines of sworn brotherhood and commercial trust.
