Guan Gong is one of the martial gods of wealth. People in the world, especially businessmen, admire Guan Gong’s loyalty and faithfulness. They hope that Guan Gong can be their patron saint for getting rich. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Wuzhen was very prosperous in business. There were many wealthy merchants gathered in the town. In addition, Wuzhen is located at the junction of two provinces and three prefectures. Trade is very frequent. Many merchants will pass by Wuzhen when doing business. The Guandi Temple is located at a strategic location for land and water transportation. Therefore, although there is not much direct connection between Wuzhen and Guan Gong, the Guandi Temple in Xizha has strong incense and an endless stream of believers coming to worship. Inside the Guandi Temple is a bronze statue of Emperor Guan Wu, majestic. On both sides of Guan Gong are Zhou Cang and Guan Ping, generals of Guan Gong. Zhou Cang is the guard of Lord Guan Di. He usually holds the Green Dragon Crescent Blade for him. He is a general when on horseback and a servant when off horseback, extremely loyal. Guan Ping is an adopted son that Guan Yu took in during his battles. He followed Lord Guan Di in battles in the south and north and had remarkable military achievements.
