The hoisting of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade of a Guan Yu Statue in Jingzhou, Hubei province, is under way, according to a report on Cnhubei.com.

The body of the blade has already been attached to the statue. The hoisting and wielding of the 40-meter handle began from May 18. The total length of the blade is 70 meters.

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade was a legendary weapon wielded by Guan Yu in the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Guan Yu, courtesy name Yunchang, was a general in the late Eastern Han dynasty. He played a significant role in the civil war that led to the collapse of the dynasty and the establishment of the state of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period.
