* Guan Ping, son of Guan Yu

He married Lady Hu and his son Guan Ping was born in 178.

Backed by Liu Bei, Guan Yu led a force to Xiakou to fight Yue Jin and Wen Ping, but was repelled by his rivals.

Wen Ping trailed Guan Yu to Han Ford, in which he had Guan's food storage burnt to the ground.

As a result, Guan Yu attempted to recuperate at Jingcheng ( 荆城 ); however, his pursuer would not allow him to rest, and Guan was forced to fight a naval battle with Wen Ping, which resulted in a total destruction of the navy.

Guan Yu attempted to break out of the encirclement with his son Guan Ping and subordinate Zhao Lei but failed.

** Guan Ping, oldest son of Guan Yu, served in Liu Bei's army and was executed along with his father by Sun Quan.

During this trip of crossing five passes, Guan Yu met many men who would become his subordinates and remain loyal to him until his death, including Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, and even his adoptive son Guan Ping.

The masterminds of this coup d ' état include ministers who previously served Emperor Gaozu, including Chen Ping, Zhou Bo ( 周勃 ) and Guan Ying ( 灌嬰 ).

Guan Yu and his son Guan Ping were then executed by Sun Quan.

He was initially very deferential to Zhou Bo, Chen Ping, and Guan Ying ( 灌嬰 ), who were instrumental in his accession, and they served as successive prime ministers.

From here, he became one of Guan Yu's most trusted officers, often being placed in charge of the vanguard unit and receiving promotions evenly with Guan Yu's son, Guan Ping.

When Guan Yu marched on Xiangyang in 219, Liao Hua and Guan Ping were made leaders of the vanguard.

After they had traveled several miles away, a force led by Liao Hua and Guan Ping began chasing after Zhai Yuan and his own force.

Guan Ping slew Zhai Yuan.

Guan Ping met Xu Huang in battle, but was demoralized by Xu Huang's claim that Lü Meng had made his move and seized Jingzhou.

Guan Yu ( Wade-Giles spelling: Kuan Yu ) ( died 219 ) was a general serving under the warlord Liu Bei during the late Eastern Han Dynasty of China.

However, the three brothers do not die on the same day: Guan Yu was executed by Sun Quan in 220, Zhang Fei was assassinated by his own men in 221, and Liu Bei died of illness in 223 after his disastrous defeat at the Battle of Xiaoting a year before his death.

* Guan Tianpei ( 1780 – 1841 ), Chinese national hero ; died during the Opium War.

However, following the execution of Guan Yu, Red Hare refused to eat and died of starvation.

When the general Liao Hua told Liu Bei that Guan Yu died because Liu Feng and Meng Da did not send reinforcements, Liu Bei began to resent the two and even plotted their arrest.

However, Sun's generals laid a solid defense line despite their inferior manpower ; when Cao Wei tried to broke that line with a charge, Sun Guan went to the foremost of the van and was fatally injured ( albeit being saved by Zang on the field, Sun died in camp ).

In 219, Guan Yu advanced north, attacking Fancheng, scoring a major victory over Cao Ren.

In 219, Guan Yu attacked the nearby enemy city of Fancheng ( present-day Fancheng District, Xiangyang, Hubei ), which was guarded by Cao Ren, and besieged it.

An armed conflict between Liu and Sun quickly developed, because in 219 Sun had ambushed Liu's long-serving general Guan Yu to retake his western Jing Province ( 荊州, modern Hubei and Hunan ), which Liu had controlled.

In 219, Cao Cao's cousin and leading general Cao Ren was besieged at the fortress at Fancheng ( 樊城 ; present-day Fancheng District, Hubei ) by Guan Yu.

In 219, Guan Yu attacked Cao Cao's fortress at Fancheng while leaving troops behind to defend against a possible attack from Lü Meng.

He was best noted for breaking the siege at the Battle of Fancheng in 219 by routing enemy general, Guan Yu, on the field.

By 219, Liu Bei had seized Yi Province from the warlord Liu Zhang, but Jing Province was still under his control and governed by his general Guan Yu.

In 219, Liu Bei's most trusted general Guan Yu came in force to take Fan.

In 219 AD Guan Yu along with Guan Ping led an expedition against Wei.

In 219, Cao Ren was besieged by Liu Bei's general Guan Yu at Fancheng.

He succeeded his father when both Guan Yu and Guan Ping were captured and executed by forces of Eastern Wu at the invasion of Jing Province in 219.

Later, Man Chong became governor of Runan, and helped Cao Ren defend Fancheng ( present-day Fancheng District, Xiangyang, Hubei ) against Guan Yu at the Battle of Fancheng in 219, acting as an advisor to Cao Ren.

When Guan Yu met his end at the hands of Lü Meng in 219, the blade was given to Pan Zhang by Sun Quan for his role in capturing of Guan Yu.

In 219, when Guan Yu was being surrounded by Sun Quan's forces in Maicheng ( 麥城 ), Liu Feng refused to provide reinforcements partly because Meng Da reminded Liu Feng of Guan Yu's disapproval.

In 219, Mi Fang surrendered to Sun Quan, directly resulting in the loss of Jing Province ( present-day Hubei and Hunan ) and the death of Guan Yu.

Some believed it comes from the late Han era and was said to have been used by the Han general Guan Yu.

While Fancheng did not fall at this time, Guan Yu put it under siege, and the situation was severe enough that Cao Cao considered moving the capital away from Xu.

Guan Yu was captured by Sun Quan's general Lü Meng ; once captured, Sun Quan executed Guan Yu, Jing Province came under Sun's control, and the Sun-Liu alliance ended.

The naginata may have descended from the earlier hoko yari and was possibly influenced by the Chinese Guan Dao.

One-sixteenth was used to set up Koe Guan Kong Lun, the family trust, which came into existence in 1905.

Twenty-one years later on October 21, 1993, the Trust was vested, and the Trustees began the process of winding up Koe Guan Kong Lun.

A dragon, Yu Lung, who was set free by Guan Yin after being sentenced to death, eats Tripitaka's horse.

Among the features that have contributed to its cult appeal are the theme song, the dubbed dialogue spoken in a variety of over-the-top " Oriental " accents, ( except for Sandy who inexplicably speaks with an English accent ), the reasonably good synchronization of dubbing to the actors ' original dialogue, the fact that the young priest Tripitaka was played by a woman and the fact that Guan yin, who is usually depicted in statues and paintings as a female, is portrayed by a male.

Guan was deified as early as the Sui Dynasty and is still worshipped by many Chinese people today, especially in southern China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong and their descendants overseas.

Guan Yu was born in Xie County, Hedong ( present day Yuncheng ( 运城市 ), Shanxi ).

No details of the time of his birth are found in historical records until the late Qing Dynasty, when the tomb of Guan Yu was discovered, bearing some details of his family.

It was written that Guan Yu was actually born from a family of scholars.

His grandfather's name was Guan Shen.

His father's name was Guan Yi.

Guan Yu was born in the year 160, and like his ancestors, often read the classics Book of Changes and Spring and Autumn Annals.

When Liu Bei was appointed as the governor of Pingyuan County, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were made " Senior Major " ( 别部司马 ) under Liu.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei most of the time wherever he went and protected him from danger regardless of how perilous the situation was.

Xiapi fell and Guan Yu was captured by Cao Cao's men.

Guan Yu was appointed by Cao Cao as a Lieutenant General.

On recommendation of Cao Cao, Guan Yu was conferred the title of " Marquis of Hanshou " ( 漢壽亭侯 ) in recognition of his effort in Boma.

After that, Guan Yu left for Hebei to rejoin Liu Bei, who was currently in Yuan Shao's camp.
