Estimated Reading Time: 4 mins 

Among the Five Wealth Gods, Guan Gong is the Business Wealth God, who is in charge of the business and sales within the human realm. In other Chinese literature texts, Guan Gong is also referred as Martial Wealth God (武财神关公). Since the launch of Imperial Harvest’s Jadeite Guan Gong riding on Champion Stallion, many clients have received immense blessings and achieved massive sales and profits breakthroughs in their career and business endeavours. 

In this article, we will be sharing the story behind the most powerful manifestation of the Business God of Wealth, Guan Gong.

Legend

Guan Gong was a general serving under the famous warlord Liubei (劉備) towards the end of Eastern Han Dynasty, known for his undying conviction to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty.

His strategic acumen, excellent physique and strong moral values established a solid reputation for Guan Gong as one of the most formidable generals of all times. He is widely admired by his peers for his loyalty and righteousness - exceptionally rare traits especially in trying and challenging times.

In as early as Sui Dynasty, Guan Gong is looked upon as the Martial Wealth God - a deity widely worshipped by generals and emperors to pray for victories in battles and wars. In historical records, many Chinese emperors and generals have shared the miraculous blessings of Guan Gong in helping them overcome challenges and emerge victorious in their battles.

During the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yong Le credited his success in overthrowing Emperor Jianwen to the blessing of Guan Gong. As a devout Guan Gong devotee, Emperor Yong Le also attained massive victories in implementation of his ambitious plans to stabilise the fragile economy and reverse the population decline following the overthrowing of Emperor Jianwen.

In the late 16th Century, the Koreans prayed to Guan Gong and succeeded in repulsing the formidable invasion of the Japanese troops led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi - one of the most  distinguished  generals of Japan. The success of the Korean military campaigns against all odds is a strong testament of the immense divine power of Guan Gong.

In modern times, business is war 商场如战场. Hence many Chinese businessmen and sales professionals religiously pray to Guan Gong, requesting for his assistance in helping them achieve massive sales and profits breakthroughs.

Three Manifestations of Guan Gong 

There are three main manifestations of Guan Gong namely, Literati Guan Gong (sitting with a book), Martial Guan Gong (standing with a sabre) and Victorious Guan Gong (riding on Champion Stallion with his sabre).

1. Literati Guan Gong 

Literati Guan Gong 文关公 is Guan Gong portrayed in a sitting position, immersed in the scholar’s book; ideal for businessmen in charge of business strategy and consultancy, management consultants as well as strategic advisory. However a literati general (文将) who is well-versed in strategies is not sufficient in winning warfare as execution is extremely important as well.

2. Martial Guan Gong

Martial Guan Gong 武关公 is Guan Gong portrayed in a standing stance wielding a sabre; ideal for sales professionals (insurance agents and property agents) who are looking for slow and steady improvement in sales. Similarly, a martial general (武将) who has excellent physique is not sufficient enough to win wars and battles because strategic acumen is extremely important.

3. Victorious Guan Gong 

The most powerful manifestation of Guan Gong is Victorious Guan Gong 常胜关公 depicted with Guan Gong welding his mighty sabre and riding on Champion Stallion 关公骑千里马 - the ultimate symbol of victory and massive breakthroughs. Guan Gong riding on Champion Stallion is the only manifestation of Guan Gong that possesses strategic acumen and excellent physique as aptly described by the Chinese idiom 文武双全，智勇双全.

Imperial Harvest’s Fine Jadeite Guan Gong riding on Champion Stallion is specially commissioned by Master David to bring massive sales and financial breakthroughs to its destined owner.

Guan Gong riding on Champion Stallion – the most victorious manifestation of Guan Gong, helps to boost sales and business growth 10 times faster than sitting or standing manifestations of Guan Gong, garnering strategic support from your benefactors, increasing your sales and business growth effortlessly.

According to legend, Guan Gong is  invincible and peerless when he rode on the Champion Stallion, enabling him to overcome five most challenging cities' defence and kill six most powerful generals of their times(过五关，斩六将).
