Posted By: Jim Lewis Mon, Oct 01, 2007 I wonder, with all the physical wear the statues themselves seem to show, would there be any hair left on the beard if it were truly old? Or has someone "restored" it? |

Posted By: Dan E. Tue, Oct 02, 2007 Some things are beginning to make sense to me. My neighbor said that the prominent family that gave him these statues were involved in manufacturing of shoes. I just read that LIU BEI is also worshipped as the patron of shoemakers. |

Posted By: Dan E. Wed, Oct 03, 2007 Thank you all for helping sort these out for us. Each time someone posts I do a bit more reading and it all seems to point back to the novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, written by Luo Guanzhong in the 14th century. |
