關王®

銅器的鑄造、銘刻、研磨，均極不易，其成器乃國之重寶。

「關王®」所設計的古兵器作品，以五金之屬「銅」為創作主要材質，紋飾及外型上展現簡樸的新風貎，充滿了「神仙的浪漫想像」，工藝細膩，造型凝重，以威嚴的「神獸紋和雲紋」為題材，為未來的國家神祀文化，留下了寶貴的文化遺產。

Casting, engraving, and grinding brass is extremely challenging and, therefore, the end product is highly treasured.

The ancient weapons designed by Guan Wang used brass, one of five main kinds of metal used in China (gold, silver, brass, iron, tin), as the major material. The simple modern design of decorative striations or patterns represents a romantic image of deities. Through delicate craftsmanship and serious design, using the themes of ‘gods and beasts’ and ‘cloud patterns’, our products continue the precious legacy of our national deity and ritual culture.

《Making good weapons with a devout respect for God》

很難想像，現在致力於「銅兵器」製作的關王刀企業社社長張安琪，原本是嘉義縣政府的軟體設計工程師，「當年我身懷龍鳳胎，卻因為體弱而在懷孕4個月時得開始打安胎針，安胎過程中更曾一度遭遇可能失去兩個小生命的風險之中。」

回憶起，當時無助的她只能祈求「關公」保佑，之後度過危險、順利產下兩子，內心也因此種下弘揚「關公」正義氣節的種子。

It is very difficult to imagine that Angel Chang(founder of Guan Wang Dao co.), now the devoted manufacturer of ancient copper weapons, was once a former software engineer for the Chia-yi County government. ‘I was pregnant with twins, but had to receive progesterone treatment when I was 4-months pregnant due to weak health. During the process of treatment, I was once at risk of losing the babies’,

Angel Chang recalls. She had to ask for blessings from Guan Gong. Afterwards, she gave birth to healthy baby twins. Hence the seeds were sown for promoting righteousness spirits of Guan Gong (Lord Guan), is respected as an epitome of loyalty and righteousness and is still worshipped by many Chinese people today.
