十八世紀 銅鎏金周倉及關平立像一對
Zhou Cang and Guan Ping are the attendants of Guandi in temples. Zou Cang is Guandi's weapon bearer but also sometimes accompanies Guandi in his role as a war god, alongside Guan Yu's adopted son Guan Ping. Usually, Zhou Cang's face is portrayed as black, in contrast to Guandi's red and Guan Ping's white.
