介绍（中）	关羽（公元219年）是汉末（公元前206年至公元220年）的一位战士，以其英勇和忠诚而闻名，后来在道教万神殿中被尊为圣人。明朝万历皇帝（1573-1620年在位）将关帝提升为皇帝，此后他被称为清朝满族统治者的虚拟守护神，清朝满族统治者在中国各地为他建立了许多神殿。在这张照片中，关帝在他的两名随从的陪同下从天上下来。右上角用金色书写的铭文表明了他的身份："门的监督，圣人皇帝关主。" 这幅画来自于一组用于"水陆"仪式的宗教图像，以其高水平的工艺、复杂的细节和大量使用矿物颜料而闻名。右下角的铭文"庄皇子钦点"表明，这幅画是皇家作坊的产物。从其风格来看，它可能是由该头衔的第一位持有者，强大的满族王子博格多（1650–1723）委托制作的，他的祖父阿巴海（1592–1643）是清朝的创始人。
介绍（英）	Guan Yu (d. A.D. 219), a warrior of the late Han dynasty (206 B.C.–A.D. 220) renowned for his valor and faithfulness, was later venerated as a saint in the Daoist pantheon. Elevated to the rank of emperor (di) by the Wanli emperor (r. 1573–1620) of the Ming dynasty, Guandi, as he was thenceforth known, served as a virtual patron saint of the Manchu rulers of the Qing dynasty, who erected numerous shrines in his honor throughout China. In this image, Emperor Guan is shown descending from the heavens accompanied by his two attendants. He is identified by an inscription written in gold in the upper right: “Overseer of the Gate, Sage-Emperor Lord Guan.” The painting, which comes from a set of religious images used in “water and land” (shuilu) rituals, is distinguished by its high level of craftsmanship, intricate detail, and lavish use of mineral pigments. An inscription in the lower right, “Respectfully commissioned by the imperial prince Zhuang,” shows that the painting was the product of the imperial workshop. Judging from its style, it was probably commissioned by the first holder of that title, the powerful Manchu prince Boggodo (1650–1723), whose grandfather Abahai (1592–1643), was the Qing dynasty founder.
