She was the daughter of Guan Yu, a prominent general under Liu Bei, the founder of Shu Han state.
In historical records, when Liu Bei became the King of Hanzhong, Sun Quan, the ruler of Eastern Wu, proposed a marriage between his son and Lady Guan as a gesture of alliance.
However, Guan Yu, feeling insulted, responded, "This is like offering a tiger's daughter to a dog; the expectations are too high."
"[2] However, Guan Yinping, driven by the desire for revenge against her father's enemies, went through a period of extreme hardship in Chengdu.
[2] The people of Shu felt deep sympathy for the young woman who had suffered the loss of her family and homeland.
Guan Yinping willingly accepted this marriage to strengthen the nation's security and accompanied Li Hui's father-son duo on their southern campaign.
"[2] After successfully pacifying the southern regions, Guan Yinping and Li Wei settled in Yuyuan, where they contributed to the local community by imparting various skills, including sericulture, agriculture, literacy, and even martial arts passed down by Zhao Yun.
Every year during the Qingming Festival, local residents gather to pay their respects to them, expressing their deep admiration.
According to some accounts, she was buried alongside Guan Yu's heirloom pearl, which is said to make the mountain's peak shimmer with five colors on clear days.
