The Military Deities

As shown in a recent Mandate, a temple will be erected for the worship of General Kuan Vu of the Han and General Yo Fei of the Sung, dynasties in order to inculcate reverence for military heroes. Great thought is being given to the nature of the ceremonies to be observed. As there is no temple in Peking in which Kuan and Yo are worshipped jointly, a suitable site will have to be found for this special temple.
