Guan Yu attaches great importance to righteousness, so it is in line with the traditional principle of "paying equal attention to righteousness and benefit" in Yiwu. In the sixty years of Qianlong (1795), the imperial court awarded Guan Yu as Emperor Lingyou, and once built Guandi Temple in Yiwu urban and rural areas. There are three back halls of Guandi Temple outside the south gate of Yiwu County, which are prepared for donation to Han Huiji, the magistrate of a county. According to the Records of Jiaqing County, Yiwu, Guandi Temple in the county has three sacrifices a year, and the cost of each sacrifice is 220 taels of silver. Confucius Temple Dacheng Hall uses silver 12 Liang twice a year for sacrifice, and Yan Xiaozi Yongmu Temple uses silver 22 Liang for each sacrifice, which shows the high specifications of Guandi Temple. During the Republic of China, there were Daoyuanshan Guandi Temple, Fuqiaotou Xinguanwang Temple, the former site of Chounan Primary School, Jiuguan Wangzhou, Shixiaguan Wangzhou, Wushan Wenchang Pavilion Guanwang Temple and Tian Xin Wenchang Pavilion Guanwang Temple, showing the prosperity of incense.

Besides temples, Yiwu is full of alleys, cottages, restaurants, teahouses and statues of Guan Yu. During the Spring Festival, new cities and new stores are opened everywhere, and the portrait of Guan Yu is hung to worship every time the incense is burned. On May 13, Guan Yu's birthday, the most lively is the temple fair of Zhalin Guandi Temple, which will be very interesting. The bullfight on the platform turned over to the ninth floor, and there was a sea of people, taking a few days off.
