"... held high, respectfully, the image of Han Wen Gong to worship" Explanation: Just for your reference: Yours is OK, but I think "奉請" calls for a version to show that the worshipers are holding the image in a highly respectful way--by holding it high above their heads, or, by holding it close to their hearts. I would say something like"... held high, respectfully, the image of Han Wen Gong to worship". |

peer agreement (net): +1...respectfully brought along with them the holy statue (or portrait painting) of Han Yu ... Explanation: Here comes my suggestion: 奉請韓文公神像前來奉祀。 ...respectfully brought along with them the holy statue (or portrait painting) of Han Yu (the respected saint of Confucianism) for worship. 1.奉 has been used twice in this sentence. Both 奉 here means “regard with respect; esteem; revere.” 2.韓文公 is a respectful way to address 一代大儒韓愈. Here 文 means “literature; civil” which is an antonym of 武 （=military）, and 公 is an respectful term to address an aged or elderly man. I think it would be easier for the English readers to understand if you translate “Han Wen Gong”. |
