for western date >>
Kwan Tai is the God of War and the patron of Hong Kong's police and gangsters!
An historical figure from the Three Kingdoms period (AD 220-265), Kwan Tai was later deified as a Taoist symbol of integrity and loyalty.
An ever-burning lamp stands before his statue in the colourful mid-19th Century Man Mo Temple on Hong Kong Island's Hollywood Road. Meaning "Civil and Martial", the temple is dedicated jointly to Kwan Tai and to the God of Literature.
