Subject:Help identify Chinese characters
Posted By: Tonton Sun, Mar 24, 2019 IP: 83.251.116.47
So. My girlfriends parents found this old piece of thin paper with this man pictured on it.

I didnt get to pick it out of the frame since they said it was so thin and would rip easily.

But i wonder what the characters mean.
after some research I've found it to be "Wǔ chéng wáng". But what does that mean?

thanks :)
