Chinese general during the
Eastern Han, who hailed from the Huyang Town,
Tanghe, located in the
Henan province. He was ranked 15th among the 28 Generals of Yuntai. He appeared as a figure in the Book of the Later Han and sometimes deified as a
door god in Taoist pantheon, together with
Yao Qi. He is also linked to a star deity called
Kuimulang.[1]
In battle, he used the halberd and a steel mace. After joining future Emperor
Liu Xiu's rebellion, Ma Wu began to fight hard for his country. He was the only person who hated the incumbent evil rulers of his time. He wanted to see his country prosper, and saw
Liu Xiu as the man who could make it happen. He was a brave, strong and capable military strategist of his time.[1]
