All the knowledge coming from the Water School of Daoism was pa.s.sed on to Yu Guan by Emperor Fei Yue. He was the only one to have the knowledge and was responsible for its survival and this knowledge remained a close secret of the Guan family.
It was him that gave the Water School's fighting art a name, using the Daoist term, "s.h.i.+ San s.h.i.+," meaning thirteen postures.
Over the thousands of years, the family name survived the times, they had a long history of Lei Tai champions, and every family member was involved in the military. This only changed within the few hundred years till modern times, with some becoming entrepreneurs, journalists or they followed alternative careers. However, the fighting tradition was kept in the family. Given that they were descendants of Yu Guan, who became a king himself carving up most of the Fei Empire during its decline, the family, therefore, was of a n.o.ble line. Many of its family members settled in Eastland.
Although they historically aligned themselves with the military, few became politicians. Phoenix Guan, Sun's father was an example, he was the standard-bearer of the Guan family's s.h.i.+ San s.h.i.+ fighting method and its Water School knowledge, he focused on being a Lei Tai champion never losing the t.i.tle until he retired. He was also the clan head, in control of many of the family's businesses. He used a large portion of the family's wealth to fund Gaia Corp, which was a very rewarding investment as Gaia Corp evolved into the biggest corporation in the world.
