One of my early Sengokuden kit. It was resembled to Guan Ping, an adopted and the first son of Guan Yu (Elder brother of Guan Xing). Guan Ping was said to have been adopted by Guan Yu when he was seventeen, as his true father requested to have him follow and assist the renowned general. Without a son then, Guan Yu took Guan Ping as his own.Little about him could be found in historical records (not even his style name was documented) except that he was captured along with his father west of Maicheng (麦城, southeast of present day Dangyang, Hubei) by the forces of Sun Quan. Guan Ping and his father were brought to Sun Quan’s tent, who attempted to incite surrender from them, but both were united in their decision to die in the service of Liu Bei. With no other option, Sun Quan had Guan Yu and Guan Ping, father and son, beheaded on the twelfth month of the twenty-fourth year of Jian An, AD 220. Guan Ping was thirty eight years old.
Since the deification of Guan Yu in Sui Dynasty, Guan Ping along with Zhou Cang (sometimes with Liao Hua as well) would often appear at the sides of this revered Chinese deity in statues placed in temples and shrines. In portraits, the trio would often appear together as well. Guan Ping's face is traditionally painted white, is a stark contrast to Zhou Cang's coal black complexion, while Guan Yu's tends to be shades of red.
