Royal Selangor ~ Celestial Blessings' Guan Gong (S)

Guan Gong, the embodiment of martial valour and virtue, is portrayed in a rare scholarly pose. Sitting upright with his Green Dragon Crescent Blade resting behind him, he is placidly reading the Spring and Autumn Annals. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao, a scheming warlord, housed the wives of Liu Bei, Guan Gong’s friend in the same room with him.  Rather than succumb to temptation, he left the room and read the entire night.  His peaceful resolute stance belies his iron resolve to uphold the Confucian virtue of propriety.
