Is China's Martial Saint Guan Yu or Yue Fei?

The martial sage of China is Guan Yu.

In the third year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1725), the imperial court issued an order to make the Guandi Temple a martial temple and incorporate it into the sacrificial ceremony. All civil and military officials and people in various provinces and counties performed the Spring and Autumn Sacrifice in accordance with the Tailao sacrificial ceremony for Confucius.

From then on, Guan Yu became the main god of national worship, reaching a status on par with the literary sage Confucius.

Guan Yu (? - 220 years), whose original name was Changsheng, later changed to Yunchang, was a native of Jie County, Hedong County (now Yuncheng, Shanxi), and was known as the "Beautiful Bearded Duke".

In his early years, he followed Liu Bei and traveled around various places. He became brothers with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. Therefore, although he was treated favorably by Cao Cao, Guan Yu still took the opportunity to leave Cao Cao and follow Liu Bei.

After the Battle of Chibi, Guan Yu helped Liu Bei and Zhou Yu attack Nanjun where Cao Ren was stationed. Afterwards, Liu Bei's power gradually grew, and Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou for a long time.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Guan Yu gradually gained the upper hand in the military friction with Cao Ren. He then advanced by land and water, surrounded Xiangyang, and attacked Fancheng. He also took advantage of the heavy autumn rains to flood the seven armies, and defeated the entire army that came to rescue Yu Jin.

They were destroyed and then surrounded Fancheng.

Guan Yu's power shocked China, and Cao Cao once had the idea of ????moving the capital to avoid Guan Yu's sharpness.

But then Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty sent Lu Meng and Lu Xun to attack Guan Yu's rear. Mi Fang and Shi Ren both deserted Guan Yu.

At the same time, Guan Yu suffered another defeat in the battle with Xu Huang. In the end, he was unable to advance and retreat, and was defeated and killed.

His posthumous title is Zhuang Muhou.

After Guan Yu's death, he was gradually deified, and the people respected him as "Guan Gong". He was praised by many courts in the past dynasties. In the Qing Dynasty, he was regarded as "the God of Loyalty and Righteousness, Wu Lingyou, benevolence, bravery and majesty, Guan Sheng Emperor", revered as "Martial Saint", and "Guan Yu".
