Why is there a statue of Guan Yu in Wuzhen?

Guan Gong is a member of Wu Caishen, and the whole world, especially businessmen, admire Guan Gong's loyalty and trustworthiness, hoping that Guan Gong will become the patron saint of their wealth.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the business in Wuzhen was very prosperous, and many wealthy businessmen gathered in the town. In addition, Wuzhen is the junction of two provinces and three governments, and trade is very frequent. Many businessmen will pass by Wuzhen when doing business. Guandi Temple is located at the crossroads of land and water. Therefore, although there is not much direct contact between Wuzhen and Guan Gong, the Guandi Temple in Tashi is full of incense, and there are endless worshippers.
